Dr. Tutty is a licensed forensic psychologist who has particular expertise in evaluating both youth and adults over the past 20 years who find themselves at crossroads with the court system, such as family (e.g., custody, relocation), tort (e.g., personal injury), and criminal (e.g., domestic violence, drug/mental incapacitation) matters. Dr. Tutty regularly evaluates and testifies on these matters across multi US States, and collaborates with his forensic team to provide a comprehensive evaluation to the courts to inform best interest recommendations for the parties.

To Parents: Are you watching your child struggle? Is your child losing interest in activities or friendships? Does your child have a hard time paying attention or following directions at home or at school? Is your child having frequent nightmares, new fears, or separation anxiety? Is your child going through a life-changing event (death, divorce, moving) that is causing stress? Finding a safe place to explore feelings through art, play, and talking can help.

With over 28 years experience as a psychotherapist specializing in Clinical Health and Forensic Psychology, I am currently serving as private practitioner working with a broad spectrum of clients for testing and psychotherapy. I am an interactive, relationship-focused psychotherapist. My therapeutic approach is to provide support and practical feedback to help clients effectively address personal life challenges. I integrate complementary methodologies and techniques to offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each client. With compassion and understanding, I work with each individual to help them build on their strengths and attain personal growth.

I offer psychotherapy and psychoanalysis to adults, children and teens. I am open to working with a range of presenting concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, self-esteem, trauma and emotional regulation. I work with individuals seeking help with transient difficulties as well as those wanting to address more longstanding problems. My role as a therapist includes helping patients: deepen their awareness of their emotional lives; get in touch with aspects of themselves that they are out of touch with; foster the integration of varied aspects of themselves; establish and maintain healthy and satisfying relationships.

Serving people for 30 years in various settings (hospitaIs, schools, outpatient), I have learned what skills, attitudes, and attributes contribute to our sense of well-being and purpose and what boosts our confidence in handling life challenges. Youth as well as adults will understand the connection between feelings, behaviors and thoughts and modify those that don't work well for them. Whether a crisis, divorce, or relationship problem at home or school, difficulty being the parent or partner you wish, or self-sabotaging behaviors, I will help you harness these situations, and use them as springboards to becoming the person you most want to be.

Trauma, loss, identity + aging impact people in different ways. Do you often feel detached or numb? Do you avoid thinking about the past or self-medicate? Are you concerned about your child? Do you often find yourself in difficult relationships? Are you concerned about your memory? Do you feel sad or anxious a lot? Are you "stuck" in the same pattern? Do you have trouble trusting people? Are you irritable most of the time? Do you feel like you do not know yourself or your purpose? Do you feel incomplete or want meaning in life? If you answered yes to any, I believe that I could be a good fit for you.

I am a mental counselor licensed in two states: TX and WA. I believe everyone has their own defined resiliency. Being resilient does not mean that people don’t experience stress, emotional upheaval, and suffering. My approach to counseling is focused on understanding a person holistically. I place a heavy emphasis on establishing a safe and collaborative relationship with all my clients; I provide each client with a safe, non-judgmental environment to express their issues and concerns. I hope to help people find their strengths and support them in their unique needs.

I am not currently accepting new clients. “The curious paradox is that when I accept myself as I am, then I change” (Carl Rogers). This is the work of therapy. I approach this work holistically, attending to how each of us is impacted by past and present relationships, and by systemic influences. My perspective is grounded in humanistic and attachment theories, and influenced by multicultural and feminist thinking, with an emphasis on counteracting oppression. Research has demonstrated that our bodies hold important information that contributes to healing, therefore I incorporate body-based techniques into therapy as well.

Hi y'all, I am honored you are taking steps toward empowering yourself! Suffering is an inherent part of life. Hardships in isolation, in aloneness or toxic relations, forms habitual patterns of trauma that can degrade our potential for living and loving. Yet when supported in holistic and compassionate relationships, our past pains have the potential to become present healings. Our trauma responses become wisdom to learn from, and our relationships become integrative dances of healing self and others. Together we can create a therapeutic relationship to unlearn traumatic patterns, empowering a thriving and flourishing life for you.

My expertise lies in supporting children, adolescents, families, and parents with their mental health, and working alongside them to accomplish their goals. Through individual and family work, as well as parent training, I strive to provide my client's with the resources they need to support long lasting healing, and flourishing mental health. Whether your symptoms are mild or severe, my belief is that everyone can benefit from exploring their mental health and psychology. Positive change, healing, and growth are available to anyone interested in pursuing them.
