ABOUT DR. ARUTT
Dr. Arutt graduated summa cum laude from the University of California, Los Angeles, where she received UCLA's College of Letters and Sciences College Honors, Women's Studies Departmental Honors, and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. In college, she became a certified Rape and Domestic Violence counselor, and later, a trainer for Peace Over Violence, formerly the Los Angeles Commission on Assaults Against Women, L.A.'s longest-standing Rape & Battering Hotline.
She earned a Doctor of Psychology degree from California School of Professional Psychology-Los Angeles, where she received the Outstanding Doctoral Project award for her clinical dissertation. Experience includes psychological testing at Verdugo Mental Health Center, individual, couple and family therapy at Catholic Charities and the LAGLC, where she and a colleague wrote and adapted what became the nation's first Court-approved program for same-sex batterers; STOP Domestic Violence is currently the largest, most comprehensive program of its kind in the world.
Postgraduate training at the prestigious Wright Institute Los Angeles culminated in a Certificate of Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy. Mentored by Barbara Cort Counter, Ph.D. in psychoanalytically-informed psychotherapy and forensic evaluation as her Registered Psychological Assistant, Dr. Arutt was able to develop advanced psychotherapy and diagnostic skills for private therapy as well as for the legal system.
