Dr. Pia is a Married at First Sight expert, and there is a lot to know about her. Dr. Pia joins Dr. Pepper Schwatz and Pastor Calvin “Cal” Roberson as the experts on the show. Their job is to match the couples and guide and counsel them as they navigate their new marriages. So far, Married at First Sight season 17 has been marred by failure, as have the other seasons Dr. Pia was a part of with Dr. Pepper and Pastor Cal.
This season started off with the experts matching participant Michael Shiakallis with someone who was not ready to get married to a stranger. They’ve gotten a second chance to rematch him, but it remains to be seen how they did. Moreover, two more couples have not worked out. Orion asked for a divorce from Lauren upon returning from their honeymoon, and Cameron and Clare separated on their one-month anniversary. Married at First Sight season 17 is halfway through, and the experts have their work cut out for them if they keep the remaining couples on track and foster new connections that might grow.

Dr. Pia Is A Psychotherapist & Sex Therapist
According to her LinkedIn, Dr. Pia is a “psychotherapist and sex therapist” who “believes that her work is most effective when she is able to help her patients give a voice to the issues that they are so deeply struggling to work through.” On the show, Married at First Sight viewers have watched Dr. Pia broach intimacy topics with the couples while also diving into the dynamics of their relationships. Dr. Pia got her B.S. in Psychology from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and her Psy. D in Clinical Psychology from The Chicago School. She graduated in 2015, did a fellowship, and has been working as a professional psychologist since 2016.
Dr. Pia Is In Her Third Season As An Expert
Married at First Sight season 17 is Dr. Pia’s third season as an expert since she made her debut in season 15. She replaced Dr. Viviana Coles, who left to pursue her own endeavors. DeVon Franklin, a Hollywood producer, pastor, and motivational speaker, premiered alongside Dr. Pia, but he is no longer a part of the show. Dr. Pepper and Pastor Cal have been a part of the show since the beginning in 2014, and they seem to have a good report with Dr. Pia.
Dr. Pia Has A Confrontational Approach To Therapy
Dr. Pia has gotten into some spicy exchanges with the cast of Married at First Sight season 17 (via Lifetime.) She is quick to correct a patient if they come with an attitude as Brennan has. She also has a very expressive face, and it’s easy to tell when she does like an answer or is annoyed by a patient and their responses. Dr. Pia does sit-downs with couples for sessions, or she talks to participants on the phone as well. Since the seasons Dr. Pia has been a part of have not had success in matching long-lasting couples, it is unclear how she will fit into the show moving forward.
