Tiarra Abu-Bakr, LCPC

I am a holistic clinical therapist and trauma recovery educator dedicated to helping individuals reconnect with their bodies, regulate their nervous systems, and heal from trauma so they can live more grounded, embodied, and authentic lives.

I am a holistic clinical mental health therapist, educator, and the founder of True Self Holistic Therapy. My work is rooted in the belief that healing happens when we care for the whole person, not just the symptoms. I specialize in supporting individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and identity exploration, with a particular commitment to creating affirming spaces for BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities.

My approach blends traditional talk therapy with somatic and holistic practices because I believe healing is not only cognitive, it is also physical, emotional, and spiritual. In our work together, we may integrate mindfulness, grounding practices, nervous system regulation, breathwork, and body awareness alongside evidence-based therapeutic approaches to help you build safety within yourself.

I strive to create a therapeutic space that feels warm, collaborative, and empowering. I see therapy as a partnership where your lived experience is honored and your strengths are centered. My goal is to help you better understand your patterns, develop tools for regulation, process difficult experiences, and reconnect with your most authentic self.

Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or simply ready to grow, therapy with me is a space where you can slow down, be fully seen, and begin the process of coming home to yourself.
