Dr. Trevor Alleman
Psychologist, PsyD, MA
Pain is an inevitable part of life, but mental suffering can be reduced. Suffering occurs when anxiety takes over our thoughts and actions. We become anxious about facing our fears, so we avoid them. We're anxious about letting others get close, so we isolate ourselves. Psychotherapy offers way out of these avoidant patterns. While we can't prevent difficulties and tragedies, we can learn to manage our emotional reactions to external events and relationships. Self-empowerment comes from finding the courage to confront our inner world, regardless of how complicated and messy it may be.

True You Ministries | Stacy Echeverria Co-Founder
Pastoral Counselor/Therapist, Licensed Pastoral Counselor
What makes my practice different is that I don’t just focus on helping you cope with what you’re feeling—I want to help you understand what’s happening beneath the surface. Many of the women I work with love God and have strong faith, yet still feel anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns they can’t seem to change. I offer a compassionate, judgment-free space where you can be honest about what you’re experiencing while we uncover the deeper wounds and beliefs that may be keeping you stuck. Together, we integrate biblical truth with practical tools to help you experience meaningful healing, lasting change, and greater freedom in who God created you to be.
