Did You Know?

Anxiety and burnout can disguise themselves as exhaustion, irritability, or even physical pain? Women are often conditioned to push through stress, but your body and mind are deeply connected. Chronic tension, headaches, and fatigue may not just be “normal” stress—they could be signs that your emotional well-being needs attention. Healing starts with listening to what your body is trying to tell you.

Your nervous system remembers stress even when your mind has moved on? The body keeps track of emotional strain, from everyday stress to deep-seated trauma. If you’ve ever felt anxious for “no reason” or suddenly overwhelmed by a memory, that’s your nervous system signaling it needs support. Therapy can help untangle these responses and build a foundation for emotional resilience.

Self-doubt isn’t an inherent trait—it’s learned? Many women internalize messages that make them second-guess themselves, whether in relationships, careers, or personal decisions. The good news? Your brain is wired for change. Through therapy, you can rewire those thought patterns and step into a more confident, self-assured version of yourself.

Healing isn’t about being “less sensitive”—it’s about feeling safe in your emotions?
Sensitivity isn’t a weakness; it’s a strength. When emotions feel overwhelming, it’s not because you’re “too much”—it’s because your brain and nervous system are working overtime to protect you. Therapy provides a space to process emotions in a way that fosters balance, clarity, and self-acceptance.

How to Shift Your Locus of Control for a Better Life with Dr. Kate Truitt

Have you ever wondered if you’re truly in control of your life or if life is controlling you? In this psychoeducational video, Dr. Kate Truitt shares with us the concept of internal locus of control versus external locus of control and how it shapes our experiences. When we feel like we’re in charge, we radiate a sense of internal locus of control. But when life seems to dictate our every move, we’re stuck in a reactive state, and we feel powerless. Join us as we explore the transition from an external to an internal locus of control, understanding how our brains prioritize threats and reactions. By learning to shift our mindset and take ownership of our choices, we can begin to break free from the cycle of feeling controlled by external factors.

A Guided Meditation to Deepen Your Mind-Body Connection

In this guided body scan meditation, Dr. Kate Truitt invites you to pause and gently reconnect with your body. As you move through this meditation, allow yourself the space to listen, to feel, and to simply be. Remember, it’s okay to pause and take care of yourself. Embrace this time as an opportunity to nurture your body and mind, offering them the loving attention they deserve.

Women’s Mental Health & Well-Being in Pasadena

At Dr. Kate Truitt & Associates, we understand that a woman’s mental health journey is deeply personal, shaped by experiences, relationships, and the quiet (or not-so-quiet) demands of everyday life. Whether you’re navigating stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, burnout, or major life transitions, you deserve expert support from a team that truly listens.

Compassionate Therapy for Women in Pasadena & Beyond

We specialize in women’s mental health therapy, integrating neuroscience-backed approaches with proven therapeutic techniques to help you heal, grow, and thrive. Our goal isn’t just symptom management—it’s transformation. Therapy at our Pasadena practice is designed to help you:

Reduce anxiety and stress while building emotional resilience
Overcome depression and reconnect with joy and purpose
Heal from trauma and rewire patterns that no longer serve you
Strengthen self-esteem and cultivate self-compassion
Navigate life transitions, motherhood, relationships, and career challenges

A Sanctuary for Healing & Growth

Life can be overwhelming, and for women, the weight of expectations—societal, familial, or self-imposed—can be exhausting. Maybe you find yourself carrying the mental load for everyone around you, feeling anxious but pushing through, or wrestling with self-doubt even when you know you should be celebrating your achievements. Maybe past wounds linger, shaping how you see yourself and the world. Or perhaps you’ve reached a point where you just don’t recognize yourself anymore.

Whatever brings you here, you are not alone.

Therapy Tailored for You

Our Pasadena-based therapy practice offers individualized mental health support for women, whether you prefer in-person sessions or secure telehealth therapy. We integrate Internal Family Systems, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, trauma-informed care, and neuroscience-based interventions to help you navigate the challenges unique to your journey.

For some, therapy is about untangling old narratives that no longer serve them. For others, it’s about learning new ways to manage emotions, set healthy boundaries, and rediscover their sense of self. It’s a journey of self-discovery and healing, and we’re here to walk it with you.
