Why We Started

Our Commitment to Your Well-being

At TrueYou Center, our passion is rooted in helping individuals and families manage their mental health with compassion and care. We are committed to addressing the challenges many face in accessing quality and accessible mental health services.

We believe everyone deserves the opportunity to receive exceptional mental healthcare. After witnessing the barriers people encounter when seeking support, we were inspired to create a space where individuals from all backgrounds feel safe and welcome to address their unique mental health needs.

Our approach combines trauma-informed care, evidence-based practices, and holistic treatments. By integrating mindfulness techniques and lifestyle enhancements, we aim to foster long-term well-being and meaningful growth.

It is our greatest joy and professional mission to provide emotional support, guidance, and resources to those who need it most. At TrueYou Center, we’re here to facilitate positive change and empower you on your journey toward healing and wellness.

Message from the Clinical Director

Welcome to TrueYou Center. We are committed to the wellness of children, youth, adults, families, and the community through prevention, intervention, treatment, and education.

We implement effective psychotherapy methods to instill self-understanding among patients and encourage them to adopt new attitudes and feelings towards life situations. It is essential to keep in mind that therapy is not a magic pill or a quick fix: therapy is a healing process.

Therapy is a joint effort between the patient and provider. My name is Nadia Tourinho, I am a Trilingual Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and the Clinical Director of TrueYou Center. I speak Spanish, Portuguese, and English. I have extensive experience in direct practice and community practice. With more than ten years of experience, I am very familiar with the impact of complex trauma, childhood trauma, sexual/physical abuse, domestic violence, sex trafficking, family/couple therapy, geriatric, grief therapy, depression, anxiety, chronic illness, and various life changes.

Perhaps you’re down or anxious – maybe you’re unsure about the future of a relationship, or just feel that you aren’t living the life you were meant to lead. Whatever your needs may be, TrueYou Center is here to offer support. Therapy is a process of growth and self-discovery, and in therapy we promote behavioral transformation by encouraging a positive outlook and the adoption of new attitudes and reactions. We have the tools and professional experience to help you get back on track.

We welcome you to contact our intake coordinator for more information and to schedule an appointment. We look forward to providing you with the best care available, and welcome your comments, questions, and participation.

Sincerely,

Nadia Tourinho, LICSW, LCSW-C

Clinical Director
