Hi there. I’m Christina :)

Christina Pitz, Ma

Clinical Neuropsychology Extern and Psychometrist
Locations: Falls Church, Teletherapy

Supervisor: Dr Kayleigh Hale

(she/her/hers)

As a psychometrist, my goal across all evaluations is to provide high quality, evidence-based evaluations that are thoughtful and specifically tailored for your unique, personalized needs, with treatment plans that help to shed light and to guide your path forward. I am passionate about helping people discover strengths within them — as well as to better understand difficulties in order to gain relief, support, and empowerment.

As my clinical interests lie in working with children, adolescents, and adults across a wide breadth of concerns including ADHD, learning/academic difficulties, mood and behavior, personality, autism, OCD, and giftedness, much of my clinical training and experience have been in private practices across the Washington DC region.

I earned my masters in Clinical Psychology and am currently a clinical psychology doctoral student at The Chicago School of Professional Psychology, in Washington D.C. (TCSPP), which is accredited by the American Psychological Association (APA).

Supervisor: Dr Kayleigh Hale, Licensed Clinical Neuropsychologist

You are unique and I am passionate about getting to know you and providing you with personalized resources and a plan to help guide you toward your goals ahead.
