Join Us in Changing Mental Health in a Different Way.

ITR's mission is to empower people to do their own trauma recovery work and end any troubling trauma symptoms.

Free people from the chains of the past, to live in the present, and thrive in the future.

 Resolve the trauma and see what’s left. Trauma is easy to treat and it doesn’t take years to do it.

Instinctual Trauma Response® is a novel method developed by Dr. Louis Tinnin (psychiatrist) and his wife, Dr. Linda Gantt (art therapist). The approach draws from a range of evidence-based and promising practices and methodologies (i.e. art therapy, EMDR, CBT, narrative therapy and parts therapy) However, what makes ITR innovative is the way in which the holistic method is prescribed and how “ITR works with the brain, the way the brain works.”
