Welcome to True Self Counseling

My Counseling Philosophy

When you love that part of you that is hurting, you accept who you are as a person. You are on the path to understanding your true self; that part of you that is in pain could very well be your depression, anxiety, or even your anger.

The truth is that we are all a work in progress. Everyone's story is incomplete. You have to accept who you are, and where you are in your struggle before you can move forward.

Why True Self Counseling of Tennessee?

There are several reflective questions that can help us better understand ourselves, and there are reasons why these particular questions resonate with us. Because the true self is the part of us that wants us to be happy. We are ever searching for the deepest and truest connections in life that will lead to that happiness, which is the part of us that is looking out for our happiness.

We are at odds with ourselves when our deepest desires and values are not honored by our outward behavior. This can create a “dis-ease”. It can lead to depression and anxiety. This can happen with work, in relationships, with family etc. Sometimes we are aware of these tensions and sometimes we are unaware.

Additionally, True Self Counseling of Tennessee specializes in helping immigrants and first generation Americans explore their internal struggles. The internal struggle may be about finding a way to be autonomous while simultaneously remaining faithful with our family. The “true self” can be at odds with family rules and traditions thereby creating anxiety and depression.
