True Counseling Services, PLLC (TCS) was started by Melissa True in 2016. After moving from Maine to Texas, Melissa found herself wanting to stay connected with her Maine clients and build new connections in Texas.

TCS began as a virtual practice pre-pandemic and since then has continued to group. As a fully virtual practice, we are now able to treat clients and offer appointments in many states; TX, FL, CO, CA, NV SC, WV, VA, NJ, MA, ME, VT, and DC. 

The goal of True Counseling Services is to create a trusting relationship with clients to identify, process, and work through identified challenges, learning to implement coping skills for sustainable use independently of therapy sessions. 

We do this by treating clients in a convenient way through video sessions to allow flexibility with scheduling and aim to offer appointment times that meet the needs of all people.

What services does your practice offer?

The services provided are individual, couples, bariatric surgery evaluations, and surrogate/egg donor/intended parent evaluations and support. We serve clients in the following states at this time; Texas, Florida, Maine, California, Massachusetts, New Jersey, South Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Washington DC, and Colorado.

What are your practice's specialties?

TCS works with clients ages 13 and up.  Being a virtual practice, clients should be tech capable and able to be able to participate in therapy via a secure private video platform. The therapists at TCS work with a variety of different areas, including anxiety, depression, self-esteem/self-worth, life changes, work/vocational stress, and trauma.

Why should I choose your practice?

TCS works to make the client the center of treatment. Goals are identified by the client and supported by the clinician through treatment. Clinicians within the practice want to see successful changes in the client's life outside of treatment. Clinicians have specialized training in areas treated in addition to education and clinical licensures.

How does payment work at your practice?

At TCS we are in-network with many insurances. Please see the insurance list and reach out if you have questions and want to see if we are possibly in-network with your plan if it's not listed. We are happy to submit claims on your behalf directly to your insurance company. 

Rates are determined by your insurance company and the plan you have chosen, so those rates are different. We are happy to check your benefits to see what your responsibility share is if you plan to schedule an appointment.

We also take private pay clients and individual session rates are $175 per individual session and $200 for couples sessions.  The first session at $250.

A credit/debit/HSA/FSA card is required when booking a session. You will not be charged until your appointment and you will be charged only for your responsibility as determined by benefits or private pay rates. 

You will be charged the full fees for no-showed appointments or late cancelations.  These fees are not covered by insurance.
