Kathryn Tull, LMFT

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 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 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.

I guess choosing a therapist is a very personal experience, and sometimes a therapist/​client relationship simply isn’t a good «fit» for one or both parties. Speaking for myself, I had a *terrific* experience with Kathryn, and I am thankful I happened to find her just when I needed her!
I started seeing her when my wife left abruptly, and I was as freaked out & kinda as crazy as a person can be for a while. Kathryn helped me a LOT to keep my shit together and continue moving forward in my life. I saw her for about 3 months until I was able to stabilize my life and I felt that I was out of danger of having my whole life fall apart. Because at the time, it really felt that catastrophic.
A few other people have mentioned Kathryn’s rates. She is definitely not the lowest-​priced therapist you can find! However, she is *very* good at what she does, and I felt (and still feel) that she was worth her fees with respect to the value & the power of the input she provides. And be clear — she *does* provide input! You are not paying her to sit there & listen to you ramble and take some notes about it! Kathryn creates an interactive experience, and she will provide input, offer suggestions, and ask questions that make you think about & consider your own thoughts, beliefs, perspective, etc. If that is NOT something that you want in a therapist, then she might not be a fit for you. Personally, I like that kind of engagement from a therapist; I felt like Katherine was paying attention & getting involved, rather than being a passive sounding board.

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 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.

This review is a long time in coming. At first I felt Kathryn had a very soothing communication style, but after the third session I sensed a judgemental tendency in her demeanour. That is a personal thing.
What is not personal, not to mention outrageous, is her business practices. I remember talking to her over the phone prior to booking with her. I very specifically asked for her rates and she distinctly told me $ 175/​hr. I thought to myself «STEEP, but I’ll give it a try.» I’d never sought therapy before and didn’t really know the prevailing rates. Once I got there and reviewed the contract, I noted her rate was actually $ ¹⁷⁵⁄₅₀ minutes! It was even steeper than she had assured me. I questioned her about the discrepancy and she said something to the effect of «Yes, it’s actually $ ¹⁷⁵⁄₅₀ minutes, but I always go over the allotted time.» Okaaaay? If that’s your rate then that’s your rate. Whether you go over is at your own discretion, it doesn’t justify misquoting your own rate. And why not just say, «My rate is $ ¹⁷⁵⁄₅₀ minutes, but I always go over.» I was not pleased with the bait and switch, but told myself i needed to just bite the bullet. If I back out now, I’ll never give this another try, so I boldly proceeded.
Here’s the clincher. She told me she took credit cards, so I attended three sessions before I noted on my CC statement that the charges were actually coming through as $ 180! I questioned Kathryn about this and she very casually informs me that she charges a $ 5 convenience fee for credit cards. At NO point in time did she ever notify me of this. I would never pay a $ 5 fee to use my credit card! First of all, it is ILLEGAL to do that. Second of all, you charge people $ 175 for 50 friggin’ minutes and on top of that you’re going to add on some tacky $ 5 convenience fee?? ? So unprofessional! First, a bait and switch on your rate and then this. Talk about nickels and dimes!
I quit going after that. I likely would’ve stopped going anyway as I grew to dislike her judgemental style. Her shady business practices sealed it though. Also, during the three sessions, not once do I remember her going over the allotted 50 minutes, maybe five minutes at the very most and not anything that would justify misrepresenting her rates, although nothing justifies that. To the average person five minutes would seem negligible and not something used as a bargaining tactic to gain a new client, but I guess when you’re effectively charging $ 180/​hr, those minutes aren’t so negligible anymore.
I don’t think Kathryn is licensed in MFT either. I don’t recall seeing a license to that effect in her office. Granted she doesn’t call herself an LMFT (at least in her Unilocal entry), but I wanted to call that out for my fellow Unilocalers.
I do NOT recommend Kathryn Tull.
Edit in response to Kathryn Tull’s comments: You can tell by Kathryn’s comments the subtle, condescending way in which she implies that I misunderstood her or her policies and fees. Note that she doesn’t deny anything outright. That’s because what I wrote was all true. I didn’t misunderstand a thing. Yes, I did sign something before we began working, but that in no way proves that what I signed matched what I was told over the phone because it didn’t. I was very much aware of the discrepancy She baited and then switched, but I decided to take a leap of faith. Maybe she was worth it and if her sessions had been constructive for me then ultimately that was the end goal, which I was trying to keep sight of. As for the $ 5 credit card fee, that’s illegal. PERIOD, policy or no policy, written or verbal (not to mention irrelevant). Also, I guess she is licensed after all in MFT. I conceded in my original review that I wasn’t sure if she was or not. Apparently she is, but it doesn’t change my review in the slightest. She wrote me a private message asking me to come in and discuss my concerns after she read my review. What’s to discuss? I don’t like your style. I don’t knock you for that as therapy is a very personal pursuit. However, your business practices are unprofessional, unethical, and illegal and no amount of discussion changes that.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Unfortunately, I did not have the best experience with Kathryn. I explained to her what didn’t work about the few times I saw her and she was very understanding. To me, she crossed boundaries that left me feeling very uncomfortable, though maybe others will have better luck with her.
As a side note, I recently did a class (instead of more therapy) by Allison Armstrong called Celebrating Men, Satisfying Women and I would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone who is married or in a relationship whether or not you are having any issues. Any prior concerns or problems I had have now been resolved due to that one weekend. Good luck with whatever you choose.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

I came to Kathryn with a marital matter a couple of years ago. Compassion is usually the watchword in these cases but, without action, it’s meaningless. Kathryn not only asks the right questions, she carefully considers the answers and then produces a plan of action. It’s a rare therapist who cares enough to state her mind whether the client will like what is said or not. Compassionate, yes, but with the courage to actually help. That’s Kathryn Tull.

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.
