FAQs

I currently only offer virtual appointments.

Our office hours are Monday to Thursday from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm and 2:00 pm to 5:30 pm Pacific Time. We are closed on Fridays, weekends, major holidays, the week of Thanksgiving, and the week between Christmas and New Year. Please contact us at [info@trueyouministries.com](mailto:info@trueyouministries.com) or call 626-461-3344 to schedule an appointment during our business hours.

For cancellations after 6:00 pm the day before the scheduled appointment or no-shows, you’ll be charged half the session rate for the first incident and the full rate for incidents thereafter.

Typically, sessions are 60 minutes. Ninety-minute sessions are available upon request.

For now, I offer all sessions through Zoom, making it easy and convenient to connect from wherever you are.

We do not accept insurance at this time. As a licensed pastoral counselor, our services are not covered by insurance panels. However, we offer flexible payment options to ensure our services are accessible to those in need.

To schedule your initial appointment, simply click the Free Consultation link on my website. During this complimentary session, we’ll explore your needs and discuss how we can best support you. If you choose to move forward, you’ll be able to schedule your first full appointment.

We work with adults aged 18 and older, including men, women, and couples. Our services are tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual or couple, providing support for a wide range of issues including trauma, addiction, relationship challenges, and grief.

I work with men, women, engaged couples, and married couples, providing support tailored to their unique needs. While my practice is open to everyone, I primarily work with women aged 30-60. The areas I focus on include healing trauma, addressing control issues, learning to let go and trust God, and healing from partner betrayal—whether through sex-related struggles, infidelity, or rebuilding trust. No matter where you are in your journey, I’m here to walk alongside you with care and understanding.

No, I do not offer grief counseling but will be happy to refer you to a trusted colleague.

In our sessions, we’ll start by exploring what brought you to counseling and identifying your goals for healing and growth. Together, we’ll create a practical and achievable plan of action tailored to your unique needs, focusing on both immediate challenges and long-term transformation. Along the way, we’ll address not only the surface issues but also deeper, underlying patterns that may be keeping you stuck. As part of your healing process, I’ll ask you to have an accountability person—someone who can support and encourage you outside of our sessions. This added layer of support will help you stay on track as you work toward your goals. With a safe and compassionate space, we’ll also talk about your hopes, dreams, and the steps to move forward into a life of freedom and fulfillment.

Yes. I use The Genesis Process workbook with my clients, and there are self-evaluations and practical applications for every process. This allows the client to go deeper in their emotional healing journey and apply the tools they are learning.

I use faith-based cognitive behavioral therapy.

I encourage you to commit to the work of emotional healing. In turn, you’ll get 100% commitment from me in helping you during your journey. Also, before making this commitment, think of the time it will involve. It has taken years to get to where you are now. Your emotional healing will also take time.
