Steve Hamilton

Dr. Hamilton brings to The Truitt Institute a wealth of experience and knowledge related to the neuroscience of trauma treatment as well as a specialized experience in working with performance and leadership. Previously he was staff psychologist at Wright Patterson AFB mental health clinic and faculty member on their APA accredited psychology internship program. He served 20 years as an USAF psychologist and after retiring from active duty worked 3.5 years at the Dayton VA before again returning to WPAFB. He has been trained and practiced all the current evidence-based trauma treatments (CPT, PE, EMDR) but has found using the Havening techniques a powerful tool to help people recover from painful thoughts, memories, feelings and sensations. Havening also aligns well with his clinical interests of sports and performance psychology, post deployment transitions, PTSD, behavioral health and positive psychology. Dr Hamilton has a Master of Divinity from Bethel Theological Seminary and PhD in Clinical Psychology from the California School of Professional Psychology, San Diego.
