Cheryl McBryde-Pitter, LCSW

I work with adults and couples who are tired of pretending everything’s fine. You may be the reliable one, the fixer, the peacemaker — the one who holds it down for everyone else. But lately, it’s been too much. Maybe your relationship feels more like surviving than connecting. Maybe you’ve lost touch with yourself under the weight of expectations, resentment, or emotional distance. Maybe the ways you’ve always coped — shutting down, staying busy, pushing through — just aren’t working anymore. This is a space to lay it all down. I offer therapy that’s real, warm, and honest — grounded in both clinical skill and lived experience. Whether you’re navigating trauma, burnout, grief, emotional numbness, or disconnection in your relationship, we’ll name what’s heavy and begin building something lighter. No shame. No performance. Just space to feel, to heal, and to come back home to yourself — or each other. I welcome men, women, and couples who are ready to stop carrying it all alone. If you’ve been silently asking, “When do I get to fall apart?” — this may be your space to begin again.
