I just wanted to thank you for a very memorable semester in your class. I learned a LOT from not only your lectures, but from your interactions with the students. I also learned much about myself, even though I entered your classroom thinking I had myself all figured out.
Kathryn I want to share with you that I put your lecture on conflict resolution/management, and non-violent communication, into practice to diffuse tension and encourage conflict resolution in class last night and specifically addressed the unmet need of someone who was being disruptive and agitating to the class. Interestingly a majority of the students wanted to shy away and not deal with this sensitive issue. I used empathy to communicate my concern and desire to understand the person better and reflect what I was experiencing to express my concern. The person broke down and cried as she realized her conflict/resentment issues has been haunting her for her whole life, and she acknowledged the need to face the pain of her resentments/defensiveness and stop projecting pain and anger onto others as a reactive/defense mechanism. She was not her pain as you have taught me. It was a very powerful experience to see my education put into practice and see it create possibility in someone.
A Thank You doesn’t quite seem enough when it comes to expressing how much I value the care taken in the writing of your last response. I’m appreciative in many ways and many levels of your not only contacting me, but connecting.
Words have such infinite power. I’m keeping all of the words that you sent, but these five meant so much to me when I read them, I’m sending them back so I can share them with you:
“So no shame, my friend and student, no shame.
Thank you for revealing parts of yourself and our heartfelt authenticity to me.
I am honored.”
Thank you again for teaching such an interesting and educating class. I’ll never forget what I learned.
Thanks for the heartfelt and thought provoking class. writing this paper was quite an insightful journey for me.
I have learned so much from your workshop and it has become apart of my vision in becoming a therapist. I see the great need to support children and their families of not only the divorce process, but the domestic violence that comes in so many different forms!! You are an amazing teacher and I am very grateful to know you!!
Thank you so much for being such a warm and kind teacher for such a very sad and dark and unfortunate topic. I got so much out of just listening to you be brave in talking about all your personal experience with domestic abuse. You were really wonderful and I wanted to tell you how much I appreciated the two days and your warmth.
This instructor brings her personal experience with DV into her teaching and uses it in a most effective & powerful way. Her passion for her work and the material is contagious. She makes a difficult subject relevant and meaningful. Encouraged classroom discussion. Great job!
The best workshop yet! Very positive/ useful course Good information to utilize as a therapist. I truly appreciate the instructors passion for the subject. Great class, excellent teacher. The instructor is excellent!
This class was a great gift; Kathryn is an amazing, caring, passionate teacher and a person. Looking forward to having more classes with Kathryn. Thank you very much!
I cherish our friendship and your mentoring…..Kathryn…You have given me the Courage to change my life and I am truly grateful for the opportunity of having you in my life. God has given me a path to follow and he has given me the opportunities and has placed people in my life who inspire me to change. I am forever grateful to you for opening my heart to the pain that has been hidden and given me the ability to be transparent. Thanks My friend….YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I want to take this opportunity to thank you for the wonderful marketing workshop you provided for the Executive Support Network on March 7th, 2002.
Network members were very pleased with your presentation and I received comments stating that your style and passion made the workshop fun. The participants really enjoyed taking an active role which made the time fly by, and learning easy.
I’m writing to thank you for the inspiring coaching and marketing support you have given me in the past several weeks.
Even though I’m articulate and I often know what I want to say, I have never felt so confident presenting myself, as I have been since our working together. This is true both for the development of my web site and for my public speaking. You were able, so quickly, to transform my words into a powerful marketing tool. I know this is so because the feedback I am getting from my audience is the most positive I have ever experienced.
Thank you for helping me to take my next bold step. It feels great.
It would have saved me years of hard-line experience if I had the practical solutions she offers. Know what is vital to the success of your business, enhance skills for confident prediction and avert crisis management.
I would like to express my appreciation to you for taking the time out of your schedule to brief our Military Police Soldiers. This training has greatly educated our Law Enforcement personnel and has provided valuable information to them in reaction to domestic violence cases. Your instruction was extremely well organized and the presentation was truly inspirational to our young MPs who work on the road on a daily basis.
Your shared experiences truly heightened the awareness of domestic violence and how to deal with domestic violence situations. Your suggestions for improvements will be implemented in our organization as we approach these incidents when they occur. We will be mindful to approach each incident with the training that we have received and with a heart of understanding. Your willingness to share your experiences and time was truly moving and greatly appreciated.

It was a pleasure meeting you and having you make two presentations to the survivors of domestic abuse in my workshops. They were a huge success, and the women are still talking about you.
The two workshops worked out very well, with the first being the telling of your story , which the women could relate to, and the second being practical information as to how they can market themselves for the future. Your “dress for success” discussion hit home, and the women were amazed that they could look as good as you do on a budget. It gave them great hope for the future, that they could be successful and independent women.
One of our major goals is raising our clients’ self-esteem, which has been diminished over years of abuse and violence. Meeting you elevated their self-esteem and gave them hope for the future
Thank you for going out of your way to address my specific questions!” “I promise to read the workbook later, I was too busy listening!
Kathryn is going to go places and do great things.
You are as good a speaker as they come!
I have never seen this group — which normally chats through every speaker — listen so intently!
You are truly gifted and I see you will make a difference. You truly are champagne in a soda pop world.
I will look out for new trainings with your name on it!
Your presentation was tremendously powerful!
Kathryn Tull is amazing! A few years ago when my Father fell ill with cancer and I moved down to LA from San Francisco to help care for him, I decided I needed mental support and self-care.
In addition to my father being at the end of life, family dynamics were really unbearable and seeing Kathryn really helped. Our first session was 2 hours so I could give her the back story. I thought that was really nice to have that longer session, as a 50 minute time period can fly by quickly, especially when you really need immediate support.
Kathryn was an incredible listener and very compassionate. I felt extremely comfortable with her right away.
I highly recommend her services. She has a lot to offer someone who is looking for a therapist. She is confident and solid in her approach. At the end of my stay, she wished me well and instructed me to continue with therapy or grief counseling, which I did. I really felt she cared about me and my situation.
I am in gratitude and appreciation of the time she spent with me and the help and ease those sessions lent to my peace of mind.
She’s worked wonders in marriage counseling. It’s the ideal and necessary combo of tough, honest, patient, and understanding. She’ll challenge you, but not unnecessarily; and while she’s objective, it’s not to the point of madness. For example, many people think of therapy as a lot of “What do you think?” and “How do you feel?” Don’t get me wrong–those questions are asked–but you’re not left figuring out the fallout of your thoughts and feelings on your own.
She conveys valid & helpful suggestions, thoughts, and solutions that seriously improved the communication and conflict resolution in my marriage. I still struggle with some bad habits as we all do. She’s been able to help me identify them in a way that isn’t accusatory but challenges me to “do better” for the sake of my marriage.
I’ve seen the 180 first-hand in both my husband and myself. We’ve learned to respectfully communicate disagreement and concerns. We’ve learned better ways to acknowledge and accept what the other is going through. We genuinely care about the well-being of our marriage without forsaking what we need as individuals. I believe we’d only come this far this quickly with Kathryn’s guidance.
I know every couple can benefit from marriage counseling but picking a therapist who is passionate and genuine about helping you meet your relationship goals is so important. I’d recommend her over and over and am so grateful for her guidance throughout this process.
Simply put, Kathryn is truly a Godsend!
Over the nearly two years I’ve been working with Kathryn she has brought to light patterns in my behavior and thinking that have helped me transform how I view life’s challenges and helped me shed years of self-doubt to bring clarity into my life.
The very best part of Kathryn is her ability to cut through the muck and get to the center of the issues. While some therapists allow you to skirt around your problems, Kathryn skillfully draws your attention to the “elephant in the room” and carefully leads you through your challenges so that you can move beyond them and heal. In the process of healing, I have found freedom from past and present hurt, and the freeing forgiveness that comes with it.
When you’re ready to do the work necessary to heal and live the life you’re meant to lead, you will find the support and guidance you are seeking with Kathryn Tull, Psy.D., LMFT.
Kathryn has inspired and guided me to gain emotional strength and self-esteem. She has helped me find my way to happiness again. Her book “The Next Bold Step: Learning to Love and Value Yourself, and Know that You Matter!” has transformed my fears into courage and helped me make peace with who I am. You will be filled with so many unexpected & exciting blessings. Thanks Kathryn! I couldn’t have done it without you.
If you are looking for a professional therapist Kathryn is it! She reminds me of the type of therapist you see in the movies!! Her voice is so calm as is her demeanor. She has helped to guide me through so much in such a little time, I have been to other therapists before but she is the only one I will ever need. My search stops here. She has been able to help me with so many issues, and I have barely touched the surface. She has been through so many ‘life’ issues in her own life that she knows what she is talking about. Whether it be work, personal, family or marriage she has the power to help you through it all. She allows you to be comfortable and let her guidance and experiences help you. I will be continuing my therapy with her for a long time to come, and I highly recommend her.
I have worked with Kathryn Tull on many pojects. She has always been a true professional and a pleasure to work with. Kathryn always handles situations and people with the upmost dignity, respect and wisdom. She is very conscientious in her work-interested in bettering herself, educating herself and bringing the upmost to her clients. I would recommend her highly!
Kathryn is a very motivated conpassanet therapist, author and Radio Talk show host. Listing to her weekly talk show on Universal Radio Network gives me insight into human relations and has been helpful. Her teachings about compassion are very clear and meaningful to me. I highly recommend her program.
Kathryn travels in my circle and I call her my friend. She is one of those people, easy to spot in a group, who seems to be at peace with both herself and her surroundings. She oozes compassion, understanding, commitment, honesty and authenticity. It was just recently I learned that she is a licensed therapist. I immediately thought, “Perfect. A Healed Healer. The world needs so many more of those.” THEN, I caught her UBN webshow, quite serendipitously, while working in my workshop studio. I was blown away with her, well, all I can say is: humanity — both for her guest that day and herself. It seemed to spill out over the electrons right into my heart. I told her I had caught the show and loved it. Those who live a healed humanity give the rest of us the right to be real, make mistakes, learn about them, get up and take on the next lesson. As of now, I consider her gifted and wouldn’t think twice about seeing her professionally should that need arise.
Kathryn is a true talent in her field. She has helped my husband and i tremendously and we are so thankful for her support. Go see her – you will not regret it.
I got referred to Kathryn by a friend. I started seeing her a few ago for old issues of my own that began effecting my marriage. WOW! what a difference even a few weeks can make. My husband is so thrilled I finally started seeing someone, and Im going to keep going just for me!
Kathryn has been counseling our foster daughter for a few years. During that time, I’ve seen tremendous growth in our daughter and in our ability to communicate. She has seen our daughter through some very rough times, treating her with great compassion. Kathryn really goes the extra mile for her patients.
It’s interesting to me that anyone could give Kathryn less than a 5 star review. Since I’ve started seeing her my overall mental well being and relationship with my significant other have dramatically improved. I’m perplexed by the 1 star review below- and what I have to say about that is seeking therapy requires deeply looking inward into yourself and trusting your therapist, something that sometimes doesn’t happen in just a few sessions. Kathryn has so much to offer and I’d recommend her in a heartbeat. She has a soothing demeanor and is a skilled therapist. She brings a lot of knowledge and understanding to the table as well. Again, highly recommended.
Kathryn is an effective communicator which transcends no matter the forum. Whether she is publicly speaking, delivering an educational lecture or through the therapy she provides, she allows you to be who you need to be and her knowledge and compassion envelop you. Class Act.
My husband and I went to see Kathryn to work out some issues and I couldn’t have asked for a more desirable outcome. She is truly gifted at helping couples communicate better and actually gives strategies that work, rather than only telling you what the problem is. she is such a pro- in all aspects. If you are looking for someone that is effective, insightful, professional, and reputable, call Kathryn. After only seeing her 6 times, our communication, and marriage, is better than ever!
I was referred to Kathryn Tull by my insurance plan. I have seen Kathryn for the last coupe of years and she has really guided me through some adverse situations in my life that has allowed me to grow as a woman and a sound individual. She has definitely made an impact on me which transcended in personality. Kathryn is an awesome counselor with a lot of experience.
I saw Kathryn on a regular basis over the course of 2 years. She was recommended to me highly. I now recommend her highly to friends as well.
I didn’t know when I first came to Kathryn how much growth I would actually undergo. Truly, I experienced a transformation into a more confident and whole person. I was able to clearly look at relationships past and present and then create a more accurate image of myself through a truthful lens. After our ongoing sessions I had a deeper sense of peace within myself and tools to make healthy choices and establish healthy relationships. I learned not to judge myself.
I think anyone can benefit to seeing a therapist. Finding one as good as Kathryn is really how personal transformation happens.
If you are thinking of seeing her…go. You have everything to gain.
Kathryn Tull is a gifted professional that took the time to understand the difficult challenges that I encountered with my divorce. She listened to me and helped me through a very difficult time in my life. Through working with Kathryn she gave me the direction that I needed and provided a safe place to dicuss my feelings.
Although I went through a range of emotions, Kathryn was always there to provide me witht the tools to understand what I was feeling and how to approach things in a healthy way.
I am now in a very friendly relationship with my ex-wife, and in a great new relationship as well.
I highly recommend Kathryn to anyone needing relationship advice or support.
Kathryn is completely present when I talk to her. She listens and responds powerfully to what I am saying and is compassionate as well as nonjudgmental. Information that was very hard for me to talk about and touched very raw places in me was met with insight and the benefit of her skill and years of experience. Plus, she certainly makes me think deeply about things that I would otherwise try to avoid! I love the way she works with me.
I have worked with Kathryn Tull several times for different issues and each time she has been supportive, insightful and beyond helpful. She is is both warm and direct, a rare combination. If it were not for my erratic work and travel schedule, I would see her on a far more regular basis. Given the effectiveness of her style, she is well worth her fee. I highly recommend her.
I have worked with Kathryn for a few months now. She is a wonderful listener and genuinely cares for her clients. If you are going through a difficult time in life or just need someone to talk to about everyday stressors, contact Kathryn.
Kathryn has been my therapist for over a year now, she is such a powerful therapist. She has such insight and knowledge to see straight through my circumstantial issues into the fundamental problems – every time. I’ve simply been amazed with my change of thought and disposition after each appointment.
I also really appreciate her history and ability to relate to aspects of my life.
She’s been beyond helpful in my relationship with both my partner and myself.
Highly recommend!! Kathryn is an incredible asset if you want to get to the core issues.
I have been seeing Kathryn Tull over the last several years after finding her on Yelp. She has been monumental in teaching me to empower myself to create real change in my life. She has been both a cheerleader and educator for me. It has taken me a while to be brave enough to take the steps needed, and she has been with me every step of the way. I have seen her both on a frequent basis when in “crisis” mode and occasional basis to keep me on the right maintenance track. I love that she is direct with me and helps me get right to the point of the matter. I feel like I get the most out of my time this way (a precious commodity in my life these days). She has been flexible with my scheduling and has always returned my calls promptly. I feel safe with her, comfortable in her office, understood, empathized with, and I trust her educated responses. I have, and will continue to, refer her to friends or others.
I am so thankful that we found Kathryn when we did. My husband and I had been through 5 different therapists over a two year period and things between us were going getting worse. By our 2nd session with Kathryn, she was able to clearly articulate our relationship challenges. For the first time, I felt like someone understood exactly what was happening.
Now, after working with Kathryn for a year, I am happy to say that my husband and I are doing much better. Kathryn was such an amazing find in a sea of therapists. She is smart, insightful, tough and encouraging all at the same time. I would HIGHLY recommend Kathryn to anyone seeking guidance through tough times.
Kathryn has changed my life. I came to her because I was having horrible anxiety, compulsive behaviors, and issues in my relationship. I knew from our first session that she was someone I could confide in. Walking into her office, I felt safe and at peace because of the feng sui and design. In the past, I’ve gone to therapists who were too harsh or brought in their opinions that didn’t resonate with me because their tone felt full of judgement. Kathryn is straightforward, doesn’t sugarcoat things, but makes you feel safe. She carefully balances tough love with empathy and after just a few sessions, my behaviors in my every day life started shifting. My relationship with my partner started to improve noticeably. Before trips or stressful situations, Kathryn took me through some guided meditation and provided me with tools that I could utilize when anxiety cropped up. Her tools have allowed me to become more present in everything I do. I cannot recommend her enough, I will never see another therapist again! Her time is worth every penny!!
As always, Yelpers got it right again. Kathryn is a great listener and seems to genuinely care for her clients. She’s been nothing but supportive and has made a great positive impact on my life. I highly recommend her!
