I was going through a very difficult time in life, but Brenna helped me by giving me tools and strategies to feel less lost. Working with her has helped me organize my thoughts and emotions so I can get back on track with life.
My experience with Dr Towne has been truly life-changing. My daughter has anorexia. From the very first session, Dr. Towne created a safe and welcoming space where my child felt understood and supported. She not only addressed the eating disorder but also helped our family navigate the emotional complexities that come with it. Through Dr Towne's compassionate guidance and tailored strategies, I have seen incredible progress in my child's recovery journey. We are deeply grateful for the positive impact she has had on our lives and highly recommend her to anyone seeking support in this area.
We have been so encouraged by our son's progress under Dr. Terra's skilled care and guidance. Dr. Terra is clear and communicative with our son and ourselves, and empowers us to apply the tools learned during session to outside of session for success. She also adapts treatment to our familial and religious preferences. After trying various unsuccessful routes to address our son's challenging relationship with food, we are so grateful to have found Dr. Terra!
Terra played a pivotal role over the course of a year, demonstrating an extraordinary combination of firmness, compassion, and unwavering dedication that ultimately helped my daughter fully conquer a challenging eating disorder illness.
From the outset, Terra established a structured approach with clear milestones that were thoughtfully tailored to my daughter’s unique needs. She set high, but achievable, expectations and each weekly session was purposeful, with Terra closely monitoring goals, holding my daughter accountable, and celebrating her growth every step of the way.
One of the most remarkable aspects of Terra's approach was her ability to engage with both my daughter and me as partners in the healing process. It’s important to note that my daughter is a spirited and determined teenager—qualities that, while admirable, can sometimes make therapeutic work especially challenging. Terra was never deterred and remained patient but resolute, balancing empathy with the resolve to hold firm boundaries. Her tenacity made a world of difference, especially during moments of resistance or setbacks.
I cannot recommend Terra highly enough for anyone seeking a therapist who is as committed, skillful, and compassionate as she is. I am deeply grateful for the role she played in helping my daughter achieve lasting health and wellness.
Terra was recommended to my family and has supplied me with an unbelievable amount of support. As a fourteen year old with anorexia nervosa, I am so appreciative to have had her as my psychologist. She is a diligent therapist who shows so much passion for her work and demonstrates warmth and understanding towards her patients and their families. Terra has made every session enjoyable, and you can tell that she is a very empathetic and an intelligent woman. She possesses great knowledge on disordered eating and gives her patients an unbelievable amount of support. I cannot recommend her enough.
I cannot recommend Terra Towne highly enough. She was recommended from UCSD as an option to do outpatient work for my 13-year-old daughter who was diagnosed with anorexia. She is an exceptional eating disorder therapist who strikes the perfect balance between being approachable and firm. From the very first session, it was clear how deeply knowledgeable she is about anorexia, diet culture, and the complex factors that drive disordered eating.
Terra creates a warm and supportive environment (whether in person or virtual), making it easy to open up about even the most difficult topics. At the same time, she doesn't shy away from providing honest feedback and clear, actionable guidelines. Her firm but compassionate approach is exactly what our family needed to navigate this challenging time.
If you're looking for someone who is both empathetic and knowledgeable, and who will hold your family accountable while offering unwavering support, Terra Towne is the one.
My sessions with Terra have helped me in so many ways. I’ve made extreme progress in my recovery journey and have been able to work on my external goals as well. With her kind and authentic therapeutic style, I felt as if I was not just a patient but a person. I continuously look forward to working with her in my future.
