Evidence-Based Mental
Health Care in Chandler, AZ

A husband-and-wife practice where you're known by name not a chart number.
Personalized, evidence-based mental health care for adults and adolescents across the
Southeast Valley and beyond.

A More Personal Path to Mental Wellness

As a husband-and-wife owned practice, we provide a more personal, relationship-centered experience. We focus on highly personalized, evidence-based care where patients feel genuinely known, heard, and supported.

Accessible Care: Insurance & Payment

We accept most major insurance plans.

Cash-pay option: $125 per visit for uninsured patients.

Our Approach to Mental Wellness

Care that sees the whole you — not just your symptoms.

We take time to truly listen to patients and create individualized treatment
plans rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.

Medication Management

Ongoing, personalized medication adjustments with close monitoring to help you feel like yourself again.

Comprehensive assessments that uncover the full picture of your mental health so your treatment starts on the right foundation.
Pharmacogenomic testing to guide smarter medication choices based on your unique biology.
An innovative, monitored treatment option for patients with treatment-resistant depression, PTSD, and anxiety.
“True healing begins when a patient feels safe enough to be vulnerable. My role is to build that trust and walk alongside them, using evidence-based tools to help them find their way back to themselves.”
— Thomas Martin, PA-C

Specialized Care for Anxiety,
Depression, ADHD & More

You don't have to keep struggling.

We specialize in treating conditions like anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, and PTSD. Our goal is to help patients who may not have found success with traditional treatments alone.

Why Choose
True Self Mental Wellness

Built different on purpose.
What also sets us apart is the patient experience. We work hard to create a welcoming, judgment-free environment while maintaining responsiveness, shorter wait times, and continuity of care so patients can build a strong relationship with their provider over time.

“We intentionally designed every part of our practice to reduce stress, not add to it. When you’re seeking mental health care, the last thing you need is a complicated, impersonal system. We’re here to make it simple and supportive.”

— Sarah Martin, Practice Manager, Transformational Guide & Integration Coach

Hope for Treatment-Resistant
Conditions

When traditional medications haven’t been enough, there
are still options.

Our goal is to help patients who may not have found success with traditional treatments alone. True Self Mental Wellness offers ketamine therapy in a safe, closely monitored clinical environment for patients with treatment-resistant depression, PTSD, and anxiety. Combined with pharmacogenomic genetic testing, we use science to find answers — not guesswork.

If you’ve tried multiple medications without relief, you may be a candidate for advanced treatment.
