Relational, trauma-focused therapy for meaningful change.
At Heart True, we believe therapy should be a place where you can bring your whole, complicated self and be met with curiosity instead of judgment.
Our therapists work collaboratively with you to understand what you’re struggling with and why it makes sense. We pay attention to your story, relationships, nervous system, identities, environment, and the ways you've learned to survive.
We're interested in helping you heal what hurts, foster relationships that feel reciprocal and safe, and create a life that you feel proud of.
Therapy Services
Heart True therapists work with individuals, couples, and relationships to build confidence, deepen self-trust, and support the messy, beautiful process of nurturing a life you're proud to be present for. Together, we’ll name the systems that shaped you, challenge the narratives that no longer serve you, and uncover the truth in your heart. Services are provided for clients in person in Albany, NY and virtually in New York, Pennsylvania, and Maine.
Insurances Accepted
Trauma and Dissociation
We specialize in complex trauma, dissociation, and experiences of multiplicity, offering therapy that is curious rather than pathologizing. Together, we’ll work toward understanding the ways your mind learned to protect you while building greater safety, connection, and choice in your life.
EMDR
EMDR can help process negative experiences that continue to show up in your emotions, relationships, and nervous system long after they’re over. We practice queer-affirming, neurodivergent-friendly EMDR that adapts to you and your needs. We also incorporate IFS parts work for resourcing and reprocessing.
Relationships
We work with relationships and families who want to understand the patterns underneath conflict, disconnection, resentment, intimacy struggles, or communication breakdowns. Our approach is relational and affirming of queer and nontraditional relationships.
Welcome to healing: honest, tender, and yours.
For those who feel burnt out and overwhelmed, our space will be a protected hour that is focused on you and your needs. For those who feel pressure from their trauma, our space will be a soft place to land and learn what empowers you. For those facing big decisions, our space will be a journey of exploration towards your values. For those who wonder about ADHD/AuDHD, our space will be an accommodating classroom open to possibility. You are allowed to have a space that centers you and your needs.
Services at Heart True Psychotherapy are LGBTQI+ affirming, anti-racist, body neutral, and informed by Health at Every Size. Everyone should have access to safe and affirming care.
"You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves."
