      Scientific Advisor

      The Anti-Aging Games system is scientifically developed by a wonderful team of scientists in conjunction with Nolan Bushnell, Founder of Atari. Our games are designed to stimulate the brain of people who are mentally healthy and active and our system's tips are designed to teach how to reduce risk of early memory loss.Our scientists researched all of the cognitive training and brain fitness studies they could find from the last three decades. They carefully evaluated what was successful and what wasn't before deciding the direction our games should take. We also reviewed over 17,000 medical studies to distill the 253 early memory loss risk reduction tips that are on Anti-AgingGames.com. Show less

      CEO and Founder

      The Truitt Institute is proud to provide trainings, seminars, and courses led by experts in the fields of Mental Health, Trauma Treatment, Neuroscience, Psychophysiology, Stress-Related Disorders, Holistic Health, Resilience, and Wellness. 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 mental health treatment, using neuroscience to equip everyone with tangible, practical tools to take their mental health and wellness into their own hands. The NeuroTriad Model is the cornerstone of the Truitt Institute’s philosophy towards achieving optimal brain health and wellness. This transformative approach incorporates three foundational elements that guide our treatment protocols and educational workshops:- Trauma-informed Care: Recognizing the profound impact that traumatic experiences have on an individual’s overall wellbeing.- Neuroscience-based Approach: Utilizing the latest research and discoveries in neuroscience to understand and enhance the brain’s capabilities.- Resilience-focused Solutions: Emphasizing the development of resilience to navigate life’s challenges effectively.

      At TCCLA, we use cutting edge modalities in addition to talking to reduce these symptoms and help you get back on track. While talk therapy is helpful, Somatic therapies, EMDR, Brainspotting and the Havening Technique® are powerful for helping people move past trauma and anxiety. This is a different kind of therapy and it doesn’t have to take years. It takes an attuned skilled therapist with cutting-edge modalities and willingness to change. Call us today at 855-265-0891.
