The PTSD Institute is here to assist individuals in addressing their symptoms related to Trauma. Overcoming difficult emotions after a traumatic incident or life long trauma

I have experience working with military service members (active duty, reserves, and guard) and veterans (and their families). I also have experience working with students in a variety of different settings (to include student veterans). Additionally, I specialize in working with women for women-focused issues, women leaders in particular. My ideal client wants to process their issue with me as their guide to obtain an ultimate goal of feeling better. Ultimately, my clients will be the deciders of their own goals in therapy with me.

I offer assessment and intervention services for people with cognitive (memory, attention) difficulties, traumatic brain injury, strokes, and other chronic health conditions. I help people understand their personal strengths and use tailored coping tools to improve their lives. I offer evidence-based therapeutic interventions including cognitive behavioral therapy focused on coping with health conditions, pain, and changes in physical abilities linked to injury, illness, and aging. I also offer learning disability, ADHD, dementia, and comprehensive neuropsychological assessments. I work with teenagers and adults (ages 12+).

I invite you to a better second half of your life than the first half was. My specialties? Healing childhood abuse, couples, & brain injury. So often we settle for less—I invite you to a life full of more. Our lives are stories that intersect with those around us. Who we are, our relationship patterns, careers, & how we navigate life's events are rooted in our formational experiences. In a kind and conversational style, I invite you to step into the earth of those places. By walking barefoot through the dirt of your deepest heartache and how you were (and are) shaped by it, you will find that you return to your truest self.

I provide individual therapy to older adolescents and adults of all ages. I am drawn to working with individuals who want to resolve issues stemming from childhood and or adult trauma adversities. The areas I most work with are trauma and somatic related disorders, depression, mood and schizoaffective disorders, ADHD and learning difficulties, interpersonal relationship skills, narcissistic abuse, phase of life issues, and spiritual concerns/issues. Furthermore, I am passionate to assist individuals who are suffering with health issues, traumatic brain injury, and strokes to overcome mental and physical barriers.

Dr. Tutty provides psychological and neuropsychological evaluations to children and adolescents who may be struggling with ADHD (executive functioning), Autism, Learning Disabilities, Twice Exceptional, Anxiety, Depression, as well as counseling for children affected by high conflict divorce. Dr. Tutty also provides counseling to children and adolescents for these issues (most insurance plans accepted). In addition, Dr. Tutty provides forensic psychological services to adults in need of mental health and parenting evaluations, as well as personal injury evaluations (e.g., TBI), which are not covered by insurance.

My approach to working with clients is based on building upon strengths, to generate solutions that empower the individual. I support my clients using various therapeutic modalities as they fortify their connection to themselves and others. Being multi-racial, gay, and having been raised in a bicultural household, I have learned that there are many ways to make meaning of the life that you were born into, while informing the life you create for yourself.

Welcome to what may well be a journey of transformation. As a psychologist, neuropsychologist, and Jungian analyst, I am dedicated to facilitating your psychotherapy or neurorehabilitation. My background in neuropsychology, mindfulness, Jungian/depth psychology, and multicultural perspectives enables me to tailor our work, guiding you through your inner struggles, relationship issues, and brain health challenges (e.g., stress, anxiety/depression/grief, trauma, racial identities, LGBTQ+, life transitions, aging, chronic illness, brain injury/TBI/Alzheimer's). Together, we can arrive at a path of growth that makes sense to you.

Greetings! You have a lot of courage to begin your search for the right counselor. This shows a great strength toward personal growth. I have experience working with children, adolescents, teens, and adults who were overcoming grief, trauma (PTSD), depression (lack of motivation), addiction, anxiety, ADHD, Post-Concussive Syndrome TBI, career struggles, and disruptive life events (divorce or loss). Since graduating high school in 1995, I have been actively engaged in personal growth including emotional healing, art therapy, and movement therapies in order to overcome my own Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE’s/childhood traumas).

I specialize neuromodulation therapies. My emphasis is on the interaction of our relationship, the integration of brain, mind and body. What brings you to search for a skilled professional to be present to your inquiry? An inquiry perhaps ignited by an ineffable experience, invoking you to reshape your life, or perhaps an inner call to open deeper connectivity and understanding beyond the multitude of daily cyber interactions? What do you require most to navigate your life through the labyrinth of work, relationships and community? I am available to explore your questions with you, and to support you to awaken to your own potential.

I specialize in adults with health related issues, anxiety, depression, and trauma.

You are on the verge of taking a brave step. Perhaps you have encountered a new challenge, or have realized you need a new way of coping with an old problem. Often this is a moment of crisis, and at the same time, an opportunity to learn and to grow. I am passionate about working with clients who are coping with major life changes. If a medical condition (e.g. brain injury, post-concussion syndrome, stroke, spinal injury, chronic dizziness/pain, chronic illness or critical illness/COVID) has affected you or your loved one, or if your quality of life is impacted by treatable conditions such as PTSD or anxiety, we may be a good fit.

Stressors related to work, relationships, medical conditions and other key areas of life occur every single day, and sometimes they may become overwhelming and out of control. Most of the time, we are able to help ourselves out of these types of situations, but there are times when it is too challenging to handle alone. When that happens, we often find ourselves stuck and unable to react, or continue to use solutions that may not be the best for us. It can be very draining and demotivating, and spiraling out of control. We sometimes want someone to find a solution for us, while at other times, we just want someone to listen to us.

I received my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Child, Adolescent, and Family treatment from Seattle Pacific University (2008) and my M.A. in Counseling Psychology from Gonzaga University (2001).

I have practiced in a variety of settings, including university counseling centers, public school systems, inpatient psychiatric hospitals, and mental health agencies. I view my primary role as providing a safe and contained environment where individuals can gain stability, increase insights into themselves, and develop more positive coping strategies.

Are you navigating the complexities of life transitions, grappling with challenges like the uncertainties of adulthood, aging or the ups and downs of teenage years? Are you experiencing shifts in your relationships, thoughts or career? You aren’t alone. Life is full of change which often brings up difficult emotions. Through therapy, I offer a safe and confidential space where you can explore your emotions, build up your strengths, and feel self-empowered. My goal is to guide you as you navigate your evolving life be it parenting stress, relationship changes, career shifts, health trials or other demanding challenges.

I work with those who struggle with anger. Often times the anger is brought on by unmet expectations and merely a symptom of deeper issues under the surface. It's my job to metaphorically stand in a place you can not see, and point you in the right direction as to the cause of what is contributing to the anger. By doing so, you can receive insight that will enrich your life and change it for the better.
