Hi, I’m Patricia Samantha Bitar, a holistic EMDR therapist devoted to helping you feel more grounded, clear, and connected to yourself again. With a warm, grounded approach, I create nurturing spaces where healing becomes possible through insight, empathy, and clarity. I specialize in supporting people navigate burnout and emotional overwhelm. I combine practical tools with deep presence, offering more than just talk therapy. My work integrates trauma-informed care, somatic therapy, EMDR, CBT/DBT, mindfulness, and energy healing –helping you not just cope—but thrive. Whether you're working through grief, identity shifts, relationship wounds, or simply seeking a softer way of living—I’m here to walk beside you with empathy, insight, and care.
In our first session, you'll be welcomed into a warm, nonjudgmental space where you're free to exhale and just be. We'll begin by getting to know each other. I’ll gently explore what brought you to therapy, what you're hoping to shift or understand, and what’s felt heavy or confusing lately. There’s no pressure to have it all figured out—this is a space to land, not to perform.
I love teaching clients practical, everyday tools like breathing techniques, mindfulness practices, and communication skills, so they leave sessions with something they can use right away.
I work with adults, young professionals, couples, and anyone ages 18 and older who are eager to heal and grow!

I use the four main focuses in DBT: mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to teach clients practical skills they can use to improve and enrich their lives.
I use EMDR to help clients process distressing and traumatic experiences that continue to impact their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Through structured bilateral stimulation, we work to reduce the emotional intensity of past experiences and develop more adaptive beliefs and responses.
I use somatic therapy to help clients develop greater awareness of the connection between their emotions, thoughts, and physical sensations. We use body-based techniques to regulate the nervous system, process emotional experiences, and develop healthier responses to stress and trauma.
I use attachment-based therapy to help clients understand how past relationships and attachment experiences influence their emotions, behaviors, and current relationships. We identify relational patterns, strengthen emotional regulation and boundaries, and develop healthier, more secure ways of connecting with themselves and others.

Patricia is very perceptive and able to see what's going on with me clearly. She cuts through all the confusion and uncertainty to see the truth of what's happening and finds positive solutions.

Patricia is helping me ground myself back to where I was before my anxiety and stress took over my life back in Mid-May. Grateful to have her in my corner
