OUR SPECIALTIES
Anxiety
Anxiety is a natural reaction to stress that can manifest as worry, fear, or unease. While it’s normal to experience anxiety occasionally, chronic or intense anxiety may require attention and management.
Depression
Depression is a mental health condition characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a lack of interest in activities once enjoyed. It can affect anyone and often requires professional treatment to manage and overcome.
Trauma & C/PTSD
Trauma is a deeply distressing experience that can have long-lasting emotional and psychological effects. It often disrupts a person’s sense of safety and can lead to symptoms like anxiety, flashbacks, and emotional numbness.
Addiction/Dependance/Misuse
Addiction is a chronic condition characterized by compulsive behavior or substance use despite harmful consequences. It often requires professional intervention and support to break the cycle and achieve recovery.
Life Transitions
Life transitions are significant changes in one’s life, such as starting a new job, moving to a new place, or experiencing a loss. These transitions can be challenging, often requiring time and support to adapt and find a new sense of balance.
Healthy Relationships
Healthy relationships are built on mutual respect, trust, and open communication, where both individuals feel valued and supported. These relationships contribute to emotional well-being and provide a foundation for growth, understanding, and shared happiness.
LGBTQ+
The LGBTQ+ community encompasses diverse sexual orientations and gender identities, advocating for acceptance, equality, and the right to live authentically. Support and understanding are crucial in fostering an inclusive society where everyone can thrive without fear of discrimination.

Why an Ampersand?
Technically, an ampersand (&) is the symbol for “and” which originated from the Latin word “et” which combined can look like an &, however, to True Colors Mental Health it represents so much more.
- In a world that is often divided by binaries, we can push past the mentality of either/or and to the inclusion of both/and(&).
- Honoring “ANDS(&)” helps us recognize when we might be engaging black and white thinking which limits our possibilities and balance.
- In Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), it is believed that we can hold space for two opposing truths at the same time (e.g. “This pain feels unbearable & I have tools to work through the pain”.
- Sometimes we need to work on acceptance of our circumstances & recognize where and if change is within our control.
- It resembles a broken infinity that signifies that nothing lasts forever, specifically the painful experiences we may encounter.
- It represents that you are not finished & there is more.
- TCMH honors all the colors of a person’s rainbow… the reds & oranges & yellows & greens & blues & purples &… &… &…
