About

Evidence-Based, Personalized Therapy for Individuals, Couples, and Families

You don’t have to do it all on your own. Whether you’re wrestling with anxiety, addiction, relationship tension, or the weight of feeling stuck, I offer a grounded, non-judgmental space where you can breathe, unpack, and begin to move forward — with support that actually fits you.

I work best with people who are tired of surface-level advice and ready to dive into meaningful change. My approach is practical, collaborative, and rooted in real empathy — not therapy-speak. Together, we’ll get clear on what’s working, what’s not, and how to reconnect with the version of yourself you want to be.

Curious if we’re a fit? I offer a free 20-minute consultation to help you get a feel for my style, no pressure. Therapy should feel like the right fit, and I’m happy to help you figure that out.

Reach out when you’re ready — I’m here when you are. chris@truemecounseling.com or reach me by phone at (213)-534-6141.

Clinical Strengths

Every therapeutic relationship is built on structure, clarity, and active collaboration. My work focuses on identifying root causes rather than simply managing surface-level symptoms.
Clients receive direct feedback, practical tools, and a clear path forward so therapy produces meaningful progress from the very first sessions.

WHAT I DO

If you're curious whether we're a good fit, I'd love to connect for a free 20-minute consultation.

I offer a warm, judgment-free space where you can finally breathe, unpack what’s been weighing on you, and start moving forward — with support that actually fits who you are.
