This person should have her license to practice taken away. Her patients frequently are subjected to Martha Mitchell Syndrome and her knowledge is a detriment to the profession. Given that she never bonded to her own children, she absolutely has no understanding and the mother-child bond. Worse psychiatrist ever! She wasn't helpful and her husband is a con artist!

Dr. Fitch is the first Psychiatrist I’ve ever had who’s been able to come up with a concrete plan to help me move forward towards my goals. She definitely pushes you outside your comfort zone but I’m realistic that the only way to get better is by going through and doing the work. I didn’t meet her through DBT but now reading all of the reviews regarding her involvement with that program I can understand the ratings. I’ve done the DBT skills program twice and it’s a huge thing (I can’t even imagine e what the full program must be like), for me it was very positive and I came away with lots of tools but I’ve also seen lots of people who can’t commit to it or get on board fully and I can see where it might not be great for everyone. For me it has given me a great shared language to use and so I find myself feeling really listened to and understood. She’s honestly a really lovely doctor but people who need DBT are often dealing with really debilitating mental illness and if the group isn’t a good mix of people it can really colour the whole experience. I’d say go into treatment t with her with an open mind and understand that it’s probably going to be VERY uncomfortable at times but if you can hang in there she definitely has the ability to help get you to your goals even if they’ve always seemed far away. Definitely someone who can help if you know what you want out of your treatment.

Dr. Fitch was frequently late but she tried to help the best she could.

I wrote a review a few months ago but for some reason it is no longer here. Dr. Fitch is lovely. I have seen a couple psychiatrists before her and noticed she was so different from the very start. She is warm and welcoming. She was concerned and listened to me. I’m used to people just telling me what to do. It was hard to have to make chooses for myself but Dr. Fitch helped with that. She’s frequently late, so I would avoid being her first appointment. Dr. Fitch didn’t always give me what I wanted in terms of meds but what I appreciate is that she explained why a med was not an option. I used to blame all the health care works for all my problems. They didn’t give me the med I needed. They weren’t available when I needed. So on and so forth. In DBT DR. Fitch helped me realize that I have to focus on me and stop blaming everyone else. This program and doctor fixed me.

Caring and empathetic! I have had only good experiences seeing her. I have chronic depression and anxiety and have received excellent care - best psychiatrist I have ever had

Her bedside manor feels like it comes straight out of an Auschwitz compound. Not a good doctor. hopefully she eventually understands her shortcomings and gets better but I doubt it. as a staff member I really doubt it.

this woman should not be a doctor. Her bedside manor is atrocious and shes just a straight up beeoooocchh. They say people train in a specialty that they can relate to and I can agree she’s fecking nuts and pissy. Do not get her as a doctor. Shes rude, unhelpful and downright mean to everyone shes around. She’s rude to staff, patients and everyone.

It saddens me that it is somehow acceptable for a doctor to be permitted to continue practising in a manner that is so detrimental to the well-being of patients. Her antiquated views, her inability to see beyond the “DBT Way”, and the fact she focuses solely on BPD without also addressing comorbid diagnoses is truly a recipe for disaster. The DBT program refuses to disclose statistics on the success of their program, and I have begun to believe that is because the success rate is horrifyingly low. I losy a year of my life to this authoritarian regime…I can only hope I can somehow muster up enough gumption not to end my life completely after being tossed out like nothing more than garbage by them…no transition period, no followup, nothing…out, just like garbage. The mentally ill deserve so much better than what this program & this doctor dishes out…and now, after my time with them has ended, I am only sad, scared & so much worse off than I was before I came into it. This is inexcusable.
