Dr. Panvini was recommended by a dear friend. The way she spoke about realization during sessions helped me understand- this was someone I wanted to work with. My partner and I have very busy lives and needed help working on our relationship. We had reached a stagnant point. Couples therapy is its own magical type of therapy and Dr. Panvini helps us have AHA moments since day 1. From inception, Loreli has been angel. She's the office manager that greets us with kindness and a beautiful smile and genuine "how are you". I feel blessed to have found this amazing practice and Dr. Panvini specifically. read more

So I've tried quite a few therapists and interventions and it wasn't until working with the wonderful people at Dr. Kate Truitt & Associates that I really felt that emotional healing was possible and that I could start to see the light at the end of the tunnel following decades long depression. Havening techniques and other techniques have helped me (someone who defaults to over-intellectualizing) get out of my head and into my body which I've found is imperative for healing emotional trauma. With all that said I'm really here to share my experience with the Neurofeedback training done with Rebecca Turner. Having done so much healing and reprocessing through talk therapy, I still felt that my thought patterns were like a hose turned all the way up, whipping around, unable to catch, and control, soaking everyone around me. The initial brain mapping (which is done first to know what areas of the brain to target for training) reflected with tangible data what I was experiencing inside. Ms. Turner described it to me like "your two hemispheres are yelling at each other" which turned out to be one of the most validating things my brain has ever heard about itself. The neurofeedback training process itself is not as complicated and/or intimidating as the name sounds. If one is doing eyes open training, you essentially attach some small sensors to your head using a conductive goop and watch a tv show while the screen brightens and dims in response to the information collected by the sensors and neurofeedback program. For "eyes closed" training, you listen to lyric-less music while the music adjusts the volume to help train your brain. And it all works. I feel good about myself. Shame is now a passing emotion instead of a state of being. Rumination is down ten-fold as my hemispheres aren't "yelling at each other". My thoughts and feelings don't control me as much and/or send my on a downward spiral. If you are someone who feels your emotions are often become too much for you to handle that even standard therapy couldn't alone help, might I suggest neurofeedback? read more

This review is long over due and well deserved. I came to this team needing help with focus and what I've come to learn are stress related migraines. In order to help, Rebecca Turner, LMFT suggested I try Neurofeedback, also known as brain training. I can't explain fully how transformational this has been for me. My migraines have decreased significantly, and my focus at work has improved tremendously. I was looking for an approach that was non-invasive and didn't require taking any substances. For those looking to improve their mental performance but want to do so in a safe and healthy way, this is it. Dr. Truitt and her knowledgable team provided simple to understand explanations of the work we were about to do, the brain related science behind it, and set great expectations for what I should see over time. This is an incredible team to work with. I tell all my friends to check with them first when it comes to any mental heath questions. read more

I cannot recommend Dr. Kate Truitt and Associates enough. For my entire life, I've thought that I didn't need therapy and that therapy wasn't for me. I navigated the hurdles and heartaches life threw at me and kept trekking. Then after a series of personal events, Covid struck the final blow. I didn't know myself anymore and had lost all sense of hope, of joy. My anxiety and panic attacks were debilitating. My husband suggested I seek therapy, and I agreed. I took a lot of time to seek out who I believed would be the right fit. After searching far and wide and testing some therapy-based apps, I came across Dr. Kate Truitt and Associates, specifically Rebecca Turner. Rebecca's focus on neuroscience and her experience with neurofeedback caught my eye. I resonated with the idea of learning how my brain was functioning to protect me and how I could understand the tools needed to take care of myself and get myself back on track. Seeing Rebecca was not only one of the best decisions of my life but one of the most rewarding ones. Rebecca provides a safe and warm space (whether in person or on Zoom). She is a fantastic listener, extremely knowledgeable, and an all-around enjoyable person. I worked with Rebecca for the past year and learned many tools I can use on my journey. In that single year, I not only found myself again but learned even more about who I truly am: why I think and react the way I do and the tools I need to change behaviors that were harmful to me. I have never been to this place before. I feel I have ample time to do whatever I want in each minute of the day. I feel calm, at peace, and inspired to try new things and take on new challenges. There are still hurdles, and life is always a work in progress, but I know how to navigate now while taking care of myself first and foremost. If you are reading this, I urge you to commit to yourself. I am beyond grateful that I did and am so glad to know Rebecca is always just a call away if I need her guidance down the line. read more

I'm upset that I haven't written this earlier. As cliche as it sounds, Shannon and Dr. Truitt's team truly changed my life, and I'm sure they've saved my life in more ways than I'll ever know. The havening technique is profound, their care is so apparent, and it's here that I truly learned how important mental and emotional health is. As if this review ain't sappy enough, I honestly thank God for putting Shannon in my life. About my care - I suffer from developmental trauma and substance abuse, amongst 100 other ailments. The havening technique has brought to light so many hidden/suppressed subconscious memories that I can't number the amount of "aha" moments I've had remembering them, understanding their affects, and trying to heal from them. It really works for me. I know the sessions are not cheap relative to other therapies, but you really get what you pay for here. And with all the gym, shakes, and dieting money we blow on our physical health, you learn that mental/emotional health needs that kind of attention too, if not more. Try them out, biweekly or triweekly or whatever regularly interval possible. Of note I've been going about a year and a half, and I attend my sessions religiously because my mental/emotional healthy is bery important to me. They really care and their support has increase my quality of life tenfold. Thanks Shannon, so much, and thanks Dr. Truitt. read more

I met Dr. Kate many years ago. She has been incredibly helpful in so many aspects of my life. Personally she's taught me things that have changed bad habits and allowed me to grow strong. Her encouragement and support have been invaluable. Professionally she's been an inspiration, watching her train in such an eloquent way, seeing the way students and colleagues respond to her is eye opening. It's with great certainty I highly recommend her and her team. Thank you Dr Kate. With the greatest respect, Feliciana read more

I am very grateful for Dr. Kate Truitt & Associates for returning my email when I was in search of a therapist. I came to Yelp and found the wonderful reviews and decided to reach out. From my first interaction with office manager, Lorelei, to my meeting with Dr. Truitt and then my weekly sessions with Kayla Tse - it has been a very positive, life-changing experience. After speaking with Dr. Truitt, she paired me with Kayla - who was a phenomenal match. I can't thank them enough, especially Kayla for being the exceptional professional that she is and for helping me through so much. I highly recommend Dr. Kate Truitt & Associates. read more

I was going through a difficult time and was looking for a psychologist when I came across Dr. Truitt on yelp. Her receptionist was able to get me scheduled for a phone consult within a week. During the phone consult Dr. Truitt discussed my case and was able to find the right fit from the staff on her team. She was very hands on and laid out a framework for my treatment and regular check in sessions. Thanks to her neuroscience based approach, I am now able to use the techniques on my own and able to deal with my anxiety and difficult situations when they happen. Thank you very much for helping me and, I am very thankful for your continued support. Bonus - they validate parking! So unusual for doctors in LA. read more

Simply put, Dr. Truitt is an excellent therapist. Life kicked me in the ass, and I needed A LOT of help. I have had bad experiences in the past with therapists, but as soon as I met with her, her warmth and compassion broke any misgivings and protestations I initially had. She helped me through one of the most difficult times in my life - and for that I am eternally grateful. She is passionate about what she does and it shows. While the Havening technique is a little offbeat, it works. I am a cynic at heart, and y'know what, when it comes to your mental health, you have to be open minded. She is not a therapist that simply sits there and listens to you rant, interjecting with "but how does that make you FEEL?" She is there as a guide for you to come to your own conclusions about the various issues that haunt you. She cares. She truly does. She will guide you down the path to the person you should be, without all of the heavy weight of the past weighing you down. But you've got to work for it. Her sessions are about an hour long, over an average of a 6 month period. If it's not for you, that's fine. I am finally happy. I am content, I am confident, and most of all, I'm finally free to live my life in the present. You will not regret seeing her. read more

I've never been to an actual therapist before but when my friend (a therapist) recommended me Dr. Kate Truitt, I had this really good feeling about it. I was in a very confusing, depressive state and really needed professional help that was beyond just usual therapy. And I Found it! Dr. Truitt is a pioneer in this new technic that is absolutely amazing. It's beyond traditional psychotherapy. Imagine actually dissolving the things that plagued you since before you could even remember. It's that beautiful. It's something you just have to try to believe. I've been going around telling people about my experience and everyone is floored by my story. I am so grateful that I know someone as great as Dr. Truitt. She really makes you feel safe and that you can believe her because you can tell that she is living the way that she is trying to help you with. We are all looking for happiness, courage, confidence, and being able to live a fulfilled and balanced life. Not only does she look like she lives that which really boosts her credibility, but she can definitely help you live that life too. Thank you so much. For those of you who are afraid to find help, try someone like Dr. Truitt, therapy is a lot of work but its really worth it. even if at the beginning you don't see results just yet. I had a breakthrough 4 weeks in and it was the most amazing feeling i have ever had, like you could do anything and life is just good....floating on a cloud, lighter then a cloud even. Sunshine coming through... it sounds hard to believe but I've experienced it. A lot of therapy has to do with how much work you put into it too...so just like losing weight or most other things in life... once you find a great mentor, you need to put in the intense work to make it happen. Parking - free parking in the lot nearby for 90 minutes. probably have to pay $2/hour if goes over and paid street parking. gold line a few blocks away. Office - good ambiance Good luck! read more

Dr. Kate and her Team are amazing! I'm not sure why this is indicated that they are closed - they are very much open and continuing to provide excellent treatment. Even though I moved to San Fran last year, I've been able to do telehealth. Covid definitely brought stuff up and it's been amazing to see the power of their trauma work even through a screen. Give them a call. they're still going strong. Lorelei manages everything - she's the office manager. 626-524-5525 read more

Dr. Truitt is an extremely knowledgable & thorough therapist. She & I did several sessions of 'havening' treatments and wow - amazing results. The treatments are meant to help relieve the stress of traumatic experiences... and I have to say they worked! I would recommend this treatment to everyone. Dr. Truitt herself is warm and professional, knowledgable and kind. I felt welcomed, safe and understood. A really good person and a great resource for those in need of a great therapist! 5 Stars! read more

If you are reading this review, you're doing just what I did to find Dr. Kate Truitt. It's no exaggeration to say that she has changed my life for the better. In the summer of 2017 I had some triggering events occur in my life which brought back major PTSD I thought I had overcome via a decade of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Even though I had done a lot of work on myself, and knew the "WHYS " of my thought patterns and behaviors, traditional CBT didn't help when stressful, triggering events would occur - my body would go back into fight or flight mode, and depressive/anxious thoughts would send me spiraling. Cut to the event in 2017 that had me in a panic, I thought to myself that I needed to find help because I was now a mom with a happy life and a family and didn't want to destroy that because of unresolved wounds. As I often do, I turned to Yelp to see if I could find a therapist and I found Dr. Truitt. Dr. Truitt specializes in healing women who have suffered trauma, particularly during childhood and adolescence. She uses a very gentle and beautiful technique called Havening that has helped me to not only heal my wounds but to move forward and gain more power and agency over my life. Havening is revolutionary because it is SO effective and can be taught to the patient and implemented into your daily life, much like meditation. I saw Dr. Truitt for about a year (bi-weekly, then monthly) and now I just check in with her when I need some tuning up. Every aspect of my life has improved since I've started seeing her, my marriage, my parenting, my friendships, even my business. I can't recommend Havening and Dr. Truitt enough. She is kind, thoughtful and absolutely present when she is with you. She is the kind of doctor that remembers small details that you may have told her months before, to me this is exemplary of her level of care. She's the best doctor I have ever had. Thank you Dr. Truitt, I'm forever grateful read more

Given the sensitivity of what was happening with my 11 year old daughter, I can not begin to convey my gratitude with the results and healing we achieved working with Dr Kate Truitt & Associates and specifically, Dr Justin Carter.   I am convinced they are complete and total  Earth Angels. We had a complex and sensitive issue with my daughter that was handled masterfully by 'Justin'. And I do mean Masterfully.  Not only was he able to provide a comfortable atmosphere, he had a brilliant way of connecting with my daughter by creating a playful ease that allowed her the space to open up, feel comfortable to do the work and ultimately, heal!  It was beautiful to witness ~ especially from me,  a very worried Mom not knowing what to do or how to handle the situation.  I can't imagine what this issue could have turned in to.  Not only did Justin help my daughter work through a difficult issue, he taught us and  gave us tools on 'havening' we can do at home. Thank you Dr Kate Truitt and Dr Justin Carter for all you have done for my daughter and our family. For helping and guiding us through a complex issue very simply.  I just couldn't be more thankful. read more

I came across Dr Truitt and Kayla Tse, LMFT on yelp, when I was desperately looking for a therapist during this pandemic. Dr Truitt and her team were the only ones that reached out to me. An unresolved traumatic childhood event which impacted my personal relationship with my family and my boyfriend made me seek help. The paired team worked out perfectly. Kayla is very kind, a good listener, knowledgeable , and really helps uncover my problems at their core. We had been working together for over 2 months and I have to say she saved my mental health and my relationships. She made me realize that the broken little girl inside of me can be healed. Through heavening technique, I have overcome my problems and have been able to let go of things in the past. I would highly recommend Kayla Tse, LMFT as a therapist to anyone in need. read more

I worked with Dr. Truitt as my primary therapist at an outpatient eating disorders clinic for approximately one year. In the time I spent working with her I was able to make immense progress in my recovery from bulimia, depression, and anxiety. Dr. Truitt uses different types of therapies, but primarily focuses on CBT. I greatly appreciated her focus on the cognitive part of recovery, as she was able to help me understand more about my eating disorder and why it developed. This is something that no other therapist had been able to help me with in the past. Dr. Truitt reintroduced me to my younger self and walked alongside me as I worked to heal my inner child. She uses innovative therapeutic techniques that did more for me than all the years of talk therapy I've been through. Dr. Truitt truly meets her patients where they are at and engages them by tapping into their personal strengths. She is one of the most compassionate therapists I have ever met. She approaches everything in therapy with compassion first. She is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about eating disorders. I would recommend Dr. Truitt to anyone, especially those suffering from an eating disorder. read more

I was introduced to Dr. Kate Truitt through a friend who invited her to see an event that I was involved in. I teach dance to people with Neurological disorders and my students were performing an evening of their work to an audience of Neurologists and movement disorder specialists. We connected immediately over our shared passion for healing through touch and connection. I could tell right away that she was incredibly sincere and compassionate. When she began describing the Havening Techniques that she practices, I was really intrigued to know more. I decided to sign up for the Resilient Brain Seminar that she was leading at her office. As a lifelong creative type of person with zero science background, I had no idea what to expect. I'm so glad that I went! It was a one day seminar, but it was packed with information. Dr. Truitt's knowledge of the brain and the effects of trauma are astounding! She guided us through a detailed informational packet using visual aids and personal anecdotes. It was obviously very scientific, but she made it all very understandable and relatable. The best part was that we were given detailed instructions on how to begin practicing the techniques on ourselves and the other participants that very same day. I highly recommend this seminar to anyone that wants to expand their knowledge of healing for yourself and others. Dr. Truitt lives her work and she is a gift of a human being to boot! read more

A review is in order after my time with Dr. Truitt as I found her to be delightfully helpful for my business! From her previous reviews, I wouldn't have typically known to see her for the reason I did... I met Dr. Truitt at a small social function many years back. Almost immediately, I was impressed with her advocacy towards women's empowerment. We kept in contact and when I discovered she provides Business Coaching, I was very interested in learning more. I'm self employed, so like many, I know the amount of work put out typically equals the amount of rewards reaped. My business was on it's way but there were a few areas I knew I needed improving on. I made my first appointment with her back in February and haven't regretted a day since! I've garnered so many great techniques from my time with Dr. Truitt. Extremely knowledgeable, she helps walk you through your current mindset patterns to direct you in a more positive approach to being productive in daily life and the abundance of business tasks that come with it. It's truly genius the way she makes it all seem to just... make sense! Through various exercises and flow charts, I'm left with practical know-how that's not overwhelming to implement and has revitalized my daily time management. I'm happy to say my business is finally at a place where it's thriving! I'm very grateful to have a trusted confidant on my side in Dr. Truitt. She's nothing short of amazing and I've already thrown several close female friends her way for expert business guidance! read more

I saw Jason Carter and I must say, I stuck around for a while but really saw no real changes. Each week I was told you I am going to give you the tools you need, but instead the time would pass and no real action plan was established. It seems like this practice works for many but it was not the right fit. I eventually did switch and it was there that we were able to pinpoint adult ADHD. I do realized adult ADHD and anxiety are very similar but after weeks and weeks of talking, I wish this was something he could have guided me through. read more

Dr. Truitt is by far the best therapist I have had. I saw her at a time when I was on the brink of being unable to function at my job and in relationships. She was very effective at getting me to a place of functioning again and giving me great tools I could take with me to use anytime I needed them. I also felt really safe and heard by Dr. Truitt. She is very compassionate and kind and patient. I was pretty scared about a lot of things, including therapy, but I felt safe and comforted by Dr. Truitt very quickly. Unfortunately, I moved to a different state, so I didn't get to continue with Dr. Truitt. If I was still in the LA area I would definitely be seeing her! Trust her but also feel free to ask questions or express distrust, doubt, etc. When I just trusted the process things really did change in little ways that added up to pretty tangible relief and hope. The money is definitely worth what you gain with a good therapist like Dr. Truitt. read more

I spent a few years with therapist doing talk therapy and cognitive behavior therapy, and my physical and physiological state was not improving. It wasn't until I starting seeing Shannon Byrnes at Dr. Kate Truitt & Associates, that I found true healing and relief from my trauma and also my physical symptoms. I am so thankful for the Havening Techniques and how they have changed my life. Shannon has given me many tools for continued support and healing through the practices shared in our sessions, and also tools for home practice. I have referred many friends to the practice and highly recommend Dr. Kate Truitt & Associates to anyone needing deeper support healing trauma and stress. read more

This review is for another clinician at this facility, Shannon Byrnes. I've been going to Shannon for about a decade now. Trust me when I say you will never find a better therapist. I have even gone through periods where I tried to find someone who accepted my insurance, and always ended up back with Shannon. There is no one else I trust like her. Her kindness, wisdom, and incredible intuition helped me completely turn my life around and survive the most difficult period of my life, and she continues to help me find new ways of looking at things and dealing with issues as they arise. You'd be hard-pressed to find a better therapist. She was absolutely born to help people, and I can say she has helped me more than I ever could have imagined. read more

I'm historically not a big believer in therapy nor even review sites. Sitting at the airport today I realized I wouldn't have been able to sit in a crowded place if it wasn't for her help so I'm writing her a review. I was a survivor of shooting at the Route 91 Harvest musical festival in Oct of last year. Afterwards I couldn't in crowded places and was feeling very crazy trying to live my normal life - I couldn't. A friend of mine, a cop, in LA mentioned Dr. Truitt's work to me, that it had helped his wife. I drove to LA to see her, again crowds and airports so I couldn't fly. We did two "intensives" in two days using her neuroscience techniques. I'm fine now. Sitting in an airport! Back to my normal life. It didn't feel like "therapy" but like treatment. I got treatment and now I'm cured. I didn't know this type of "therapy" existed but it does. read more

The reason why I choose dr.truitt mostly because yelp review, of course I could not over judgment without face by face. The appointment was very smooth, and very detail. It was 3 months ago, my life just sucked by my bad experience when I first came to Los angeles, feeling like lost myself.during the treatment, she touched my heart as a sister more than a doctor to understand what I am feeling, also gave me some advices by how to get ride of bad memory, make me calm down and teach me how to be positive to be live here. She is very patient and talked friendly, always give me confidence and make me heal better and better. After 4 session I do feel different and recovered pretty well. Now I enjoy yoga eat heathy and always smile. I highly recommend anymore if they need a professional mental doc. Please consider about dr.truitt, really she can be trusted. Appreciate dr. Kate again! read more

Dr Truitt and her associates have been a true blessing to me. She is so knowledgeable actually brilliant. As a therapist myself I need someone who is both caring and results oriented for my treatment. Dr Truitt and her associates are just the best. read more

It was my first time seeing a psychologist, so I was a bit nervous. When I first arrived at Dr. Truitt's office, sat down in her office, I immediately felt very safe and warm. There was one door to enter and another to leave her office. This allows me to avoid her other clients after our session when I leave. During the session, Dr. Truitt's method was easy to follow, her voice was very calming, making me so comfortable that I was able to open up. I have had negative interpersonal experience many years ago that has disrupted my life. After just one session, I can feel the positive changes. I have recommended Dr. Truitt to several of my friends since. read more

I am lucky to have Dr Kate Truitt as my teacher and mentor in learning The Havening Tecniques. Her trainings are excellent and her passion and love for her work shines through her teachings. Yes she is an amazing therapist and neuroscientist but more than that she is compassionate, kind and loving and dedicated to creating a better world. I would recommend her trainings in a heartbeat. My clients and groups have thrived and flourished from using The Havening Techniques and I hope that more therapists get to experience her as their teacher. Thank you Dr Kate read more

Dr. Truitt was amazing to me. This was my first time speaking to someone about my personal issues and she really helped. I learned different techniques from her on how to calm my anxiety. Dr. Truitt also went in-depth and helped me explore more about myself that I didn't realize. She was kind, compassionate, and very understanding to my situation. I was afraid I would feel ashamed of what I was going through but she was very comforting. I would highly recommend Dr. Truitt. read more

Dr. Kate rides with me at the barn and it has been a wonderful opportunity to explore how to compartmentalize stress and anxiety from my daily life so I can enjoy some peace and relaxation. What was happening before was that I was having panic attacks that prevented me from enjoying the sport that I loved. Dr. Kate was great at breaking down the scientific data so I could understand it and she gave me some immediate skills to help me feel empowered. I felt relief the first session. Dr. Kate has been very thoughtful and has taken an individual approach to my therapy and has worked with my horse trainer also to refine a plan. I am feeling much more enjoyment in my life and my sport and I look forward to the next step. I highly recommend her: she is compassionate and committed. I am lucky to have her as a resource. read more

Dr. Truitt is the best!! She extremely intelligent, compassionate, and insightful. I appreciate that Dr. Truitt did more than just analyze my patterns in our visits. She equipped me with techniques to use between sessions - ones that really worked!! I use the techniques she taught me regularly, more than a year after our last session (I moved far away). I found Dr. Truitt to be a wonderful combination of "east meets west." She knows a lot!! I have been to many practitioners in this field, and Dr. Truitt is absolutely top-notch. I've been dealing with chronic health issues for a few years and have found people through Yelp myself - its worth noting that for Dr. Truitt's page, all reviewers but one have written VERY few reviews - that speak volumes for the reviews written here! This indicates that they aren't regular Yelpers, but that they found Dr. Truitt to be so helpful that they stopped to write a review. Just something to note. read more

Dr. Truitt is an amazing person and therapist. She has been so sincere and genuine in her approach to working with me. I recently experienced first hand her havening technique to work through some of my fears of public speaking. She havened and guided me through visualizations so that I could better approach public speaking. After this visit, I had a speaking engagement during which I had no fear and was completely comfortable in front of the large audience. Dr. Truitt's techniques helped remove the fear that was there so I could capitalize on what I truly enjoy doing! Thank you Dr. Truitt for all that you have done! read more

Simply put, Dr. Truitt helped me change my life. A lifetime of traumatic events had left me depressed, confused, cluttered (physically & mentally). It was my very good fortune to find Dr. Truitt and her unconventional therapy was just what I needed. I was skeptical at first but her warmth, generosity and expertise allowed me to trust in the methods. I experienced immediate results and over the course of our sessions I was freed of the negativity tied to past experiences. My sessions with Dr. Truitt came to a natural conclusion and I continue to live a very positive life filled with joy, hope and grace. The results have greatly impacted my professional life as well. She's the absolute best and you WILL see results! read more

Dr. Truitt is truly amazing at what she does and she shows true passion and care for you as a client. I came to Dr. Truitt at a point in my life where I felt stuck, helpless, fearful, anxious, and depressed. With each session, Dr. Truitt helped me navigate current and past life events. Dr. Truitt had an excellent and genuine approach with me and my individual experiences we worked through each session using her havening techniques. Her havening techniques were very powerful and I saw results both in and out of her office. She was thorough and helpful in providing ways to practice these havening techniques in between each session. Dr. Truitt never failed to show warmth, compassion, patience, and authentic guidance during each session. She is knowledgeable, informative, and will help explain the neuroscience of the brain and the deep encoding processes the brain undergoes related to life events and trauma. Dr. Truitt truly made me experience hope, power, safety, and light once again in my life. I am so grateful and honored to have worked with her as someone who was an excellent guide and source of help through my healing process. I am happy to say now I am living out all of the work we put in. Thank you Dr. Truitt. read more

I have seen therapists and psychologist's for PTSD, social anxiety, depression and anxiety regarding sexual assault in my childhood and emotional abuse and neglect from my parents however none have affected me in the same way that Kate has. Dr. Kate truitt is an amazing and wonderful medical professional. Before i met her the walls of my world had collapsed and i was lost, i thought i was alone. I was on the verge of a 2nd suicide attempt and thought that nothing was ever going to get better. I had abandoned all hope and was tilling my own grave. But she changed that She is easy to talk to, warm and direct and very knowledgeable of her field and has quite the level of expertise . In just a few short sessions she has helped me cope with traumatic experiences that i thought i would never be able to recover from. Her use of CBT and havening has made a deep impact in my ability to Identify, recognize and cope with my triggers and has helped me begin to put my life back in order. She has given me light to a world covered in darkness. While most Doctor's and medical professionals tell you what the problem is called or the lists of symptoms affiliated with it. She will go the extra mile with you to make sure that YOU UNDERSTAND your illness, where it came from , where to go next and wont scare you into believing you are broken. She is an incredible person and helpful ally in the battle for a better self and a better future. If you have ever wanted to see a therapist for ANY REASON. Contact her regardless and you wont regret it. read more

I met Dr. Truitt through a recommendation a year ago. Here is my life-saving (literally) experience with her: I am not a drug abuser but I did, at one point, accidentally take acid at a party. Turned out to be far too much dosage. I was drooling on the floor for 10 hours, screaming on the top of my lungs while everyone worried if they should call an ambulance. Eventually I realized none of it was real a day later, and collected myself. Yet, I felt disconnected from my body, and life felt like an illusion. Suicidal thoughts (totally out of character for me, as I had never thought of it before) came about simply because I thought life was a video game. Simply a tv-screen in front of our eyeballs, and depth was non-existent. Illusion of choice, life, etc. I was an observer in my own head, and this life was a lie. It created intense panic, insane paranoia, insane stress, and my heart rate was at a constant high. Sleep would come only if I abused my body with exercise and over-eating so much that I would be exhausted and also have a food-come, enough to knock me out. I refused to take any new drugs since I knew that a drug was what had done this to me. A week passed, two weeks, then three. I was sleeping at about an hour a night, when my body was fully exhausted. once the hour was in, I'd be jarred awake and feeling disconnected from my mind and body once again. Suicidal thoughts ensued "why not end this? if it's just an illusion? Why not walk out the door and wake up?" Again, it had NOTHING to do with depression or childhood problems. It was an entirely different psychological ballpark. I was convinced that my terrible acid trip who's effects were now still in full effect two months later, would never ever end. It was so unbearable that I knew I could not go on like this anymore and seriously needed good, professional, expert help. I tried some other psychologists who could not help me whatsoever. They simply did not understand the problem. They kept trying to diagnose me with childhood issues, and weekly meetings led to them forgetting what we talked about the previous week. They did not understand that I was 100% fine just a few weeks before. Every meeting with them was "catchup". "Oh, i'm sorry, what did we talk about last week? can you walk me through again"? "Do you think it's because of your mother's abuse as a child? let's talk about that". They would all constantly try to diagnose me with MORE problems, rather than listening to the actual problem I already had. I figured it was because mental health is harder to self diagnose and if someone tells you that you are crazy, you aren't sure if you are. I felt, on my journey to find an actual caring psychologist, that most are simply trying to peddle you classic textbook psychology to make sure you come in for a lifetime of sessions to keep them employed. But not Dr. Truitt! HERE, I FOUND DR. TRUITT. This was a momentous, life-changing and life-saving event that really changed a person's life. She had a huge impact that without her existence, things might have gone seriously seriously wrong. I found Dr. Truitt online and called her office. I got a hold of her quickly and setup an appointment and she asked me the problem right then and there. She quickly walked me through breathing steps, and stayed on the phone for a half hour as she could sense how dangerously urgent this was. Told me everything I needed to hear temporarily between then and the meeting. That this was fine, that people who have done way worse are all good now. That it isn't permanent. That night, a 30 minute phone call later with Dr. Truitt,I finally let me sleep after 3 months for a full 8 hours! I was shocked. The problem got worse the next night once more as I still had a few days to go before our set appointment. But I had seen that it COULD improve. It was all in my head. And that gave me a lot of hope. I downloaded a meditation App she told me to use. Put me to sleep for a few hours. Anytime I panicked, I tried her breathing techniques. Went out for Since then, I went to see Dr. Kate a few times, and her knowledge was astounding. but more importantly, her attention to detail-- ESPECIALLY to the client. It wasn't a job. She was genuinely concerned, genuinely cared, and actually remembered my dilemma and what we talked about! I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat. She doesn't know it, but she was at a very pivotal moment in my life. In retrospect, I sincerely believe that if Dr. Kate had not been as knowledgable and understanding, and did not care for her job, and if this experience had been like the other psych experiences before her, I would have done something very very very stupid that first day I called to setup an appointment. Months of the hopelessness had caught up! I was better a few weeks after starting with Dr. Truitt! She got to the heart of the problem instantly using the power of Listening, and pulled the mess apart. That was it. Thank you, Dr. Truitt. read more

For over two years I have heard about the unique technique, Havening, that Dr. Kate Truitt & Associates employ, but had not ventured out to try it. I had done research on Havening and heard a first person account from a friend who was amazed at the efficiency of the psychological healing technique. I went in to seek help with an issue that has plagued me for the past year - but to my surprise the majority of the 90 minutes I spent working with Dr. Truitt centered on events I thought I had moved passed 30 years ago. Not to be confused with sitting on a couch recounting childhood injustices - but recognizing traumatic moments that have imprinted themselves and knowingly or unknowingly continue to impact oneself. Coming out of that 90 minute session I felt lighter and more at peace than I had in recent memory. I know I still have some work to do, but I am so thankful to be out of the downward spiral I was in when I walked into Dr. Truitt's office! read more

My girlfriend referred me to Dr. Truitt and her Associates after I started experiencing awful depression following being fired from my job. I stood up as part of the "me too" movement which led to a number of extremely awful experiences in my work place and tremendous bullying from my male colleagues. I was hesitant to reach out for help but even on the initial consultation call I felt like she understood my mind better than I did. Her explanations of neuroscience and calming statements that my brain is just being a brain made me feel less crazy. Dr. Truitt was able to see me within a few weeks and within 2 months I was strong and empowered in new ways I never imagined. She helped me explore patterns of my past, heal my brain, and engaged neuroplasticity, something she taught me a lot about in the course of our work, to build new and healthier ways of showing up in my life. I'm now strong enough to take back my power from not only the men who originally assaulted me but to challenge having been fired. Rather than spending months on a couch talking with a therapist, as I've done the past with little change, Dr. Truitt is engaged and highly proactive in creating positive change and ensuring I now can manage my own brain and stay balanced and healthy. Call her. you won't regret it. She teaches you how to work with your own brain rather than creating dependency on the therapist. read more
