About The Truitt Institute
Our Mission
At the Truitt Institute, we believe in the power of the brain to heal itself. As a team of mental health professionals, we have witnessed the extraordinary power of psychotherapy and coaching to help people change their lives, families, and relationships. However, we know financial constraints, clinician availability, and stigma around mental health are barriers to healing for so many.
Our mission is to radically rethink mental health and wellness, using neuroscience to equip everyone with tangible, practical tools to take their mental wellness and empowerment into their own hands. Each of our trainings is neuroscience-based, trauma-informed, and resilience-focused to support the development of self-sustainability.
Our History
More than two decades ago, a vision to revolutionize mental health treatment and personal empowerment was born, christened as Viva Excellence. Dr. Kate Truitt, a clinical psychologist and applied neuroscientist, founded the institute driven by her unyielding commitment to brain-smart healing for all. It was not just another institute; it was a mission—a mission to eradicate mental health stigma while advancing treatments for trauma and stress-related disorders.
Over the years, the institute evolved to become what it is today: The Truitt Institute. It remains steadfastly committed to its core principles and values, which include a strong emphasis on mental health literacy, neurofluency, personal empowerment, research-driven initiatives, and self-healing. At its core, the Truitt Institute aims to be a beacon for transformative and resilience-focused care, aligned closely with Dr. Kate Truitt’s life's mission.
The NeuroTriad Model: A Revolutionary Approach
One of the crowning jewels of the Truitt Institute is the groundbreaking NeuroTriad Model. Developed by Dr. Kate Truitt, this model is built around three foundational pillars for mental health treatment and personal empowerment:
- Trauma-Informed Care: Recognizing the deep impact of trauma on the human psyche and providing targeted therapeutic interventions.
- Neuroscience-Based Approach: Leveraging the latest advances in neuroscience to better understand brain behavior and to guide the treatment process.
- Resilience-Focused Care: Equipping individuals with the tools they need to not only recover but to thrive, fostering a resilient mindset.
This holistic approach is not just theoretical; it's applied in real-time clinical settings, workshops, and educational products, impacting lives daily.
