About TRUE Space

At TRUE Space Counseling and Psychological Services, we believe therapy is more than just conversations — it’s a journey of self-discovery. Our mission is to empower women, especially women of color, to embrace their internal strengths and reclaim their peace.

We provide culturally responsive care, creating a space where you feel seen, heard, and supported. Therapy here is a collaborative process: we honor your story while guiding you with evidence-based tools for emotional well-being.

Invest in your relationship with yourself.

We all have a tendency to put others first, but in doing so, we can neglect the most important relationship we have — the one with ourselves. At TRUE Space, we’re here to be your advocate and guide, showing you a kinder, gentler way to care for yourself and step into healing.
