Meet Shurma Pitt
Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Professional with a Passion for Purposeful Connection.
Hello, I’m Shurma Maureen Pitt, a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with 30 years of experience in healthcare. My passion is to help individuals achieve mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical wellness. Using a non-judgmental, patient-centered approach, I provide compassionate care tailored to each person’s unique needs. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, PTSD, addiction, bipolar disorders, and more. By combining psychotropic medication management, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, and education, I strive to empower my patients to take control of their mental health. I value open communication, thorough assessments, and collaborative treatment planning to foster a supportive, safe space for healing and growth. Outside of work, I enjoy gardening, cooking, reading, and cycling, which help me recharge and stay focused. Together, we can navigate the path to wellness and help you thrive.

With my many years of experience in crisis situations and with alcohol and substance abuse, I carefully monitor responses to treatment, adjusting care when necessary. Collaborative teamwork is essential to developing effective treatment plans. My goal is to foster a supportive environment where patients feel safe and motivated to achieve their best mental health. Together, we can navigate the path to wellness.
