The path we walk in our lives can be steep, slippery, and chaotic at times. The mission of Sacred Path Wellness is to provide a safe space to explore and heal the emotional burdens we carry that can often lead to disharmony within. Allowing the space for exploration, restoration, and coming to know these parts of yourself that carry these burdens in your life (whether that is shame/guilt, pain, loss, traumas, feelings of worthlessness, overwhelming sadness, anxiousness/stress, perfectionism, fears and/or others), we can often grow free to move through the path of our lives as we are meant to, fulfilled and with peace.

As a Black, professional woman, you’re tired of carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders. The way others see it, you have a successful career and multiple achievements, but part of you feels misunderstood, unseen, and unheard. Past hurts linger and doubts whisper in your mind, making it hard for you to trust fully. You’re exhausted from pretending everything is okay. You long for a space where you can be yourself without being judged or feeling the need to perform. You yearn for deeper connections, but the fear of vulnerability, of getting hurt again, creates a wall around your heart, making it difficult to truly connect.

Confession time! Do you feel stuck, isolated, on edge or believe you aren’t good enough? Are cultural, relationship or societal pressures setting you back? Are you less interested in or avoiding the things you used to enjoy? Tired of arguing with your partner when all you want is peace and understanding?

Somatic and Sex Therapist. Now, what I’m about to share with you might be uncomfortable to read. If it is, then know this...you did not find us by accident. This was a message you needed. You see, talking to your partner about your sexual relationship isn’t easy. You might feel like no matter what you do, you just can’t seem to connect – unaware of what gets them going and what turns them off. You may be unsatisfied with the type of intimacy you’re having but don’t know how to bring it up. Now, here’s the thing...you are not alone.

Hey! I'm Tiarra Abu-Bakr, The founder of True Self Holistic Therapy. I am a Holistic Mental Health Therapist and I am deeply passionate about Self Discovery. The ideal TSHT client is feeling emotionally imbalanced, feeling disconnected from self and community, is seeking authenticity, is ready to address unresolved trauma, and maybe feeling the tug to go deeper spiritually. At True Self Holistic Therapy, we embark on a transformative journey with you, guiding you back to the essence of who you truly are. Rooted in the belief that true healing encompasses the mind, body, and spirit.

You have done all the things to be successful, get the degree, perfect job, you've got it all together. Yet, you struggle with negative thinking, over-thinking, self-doubt, or have difficulty letting things go. You feel that things can’t change, you always get the short end of the stick and that everyone around you has it all together. You desire better communication, reconnection, and healthier relationships. If this sounds familiar to you and you are tired of doing the same things and feeling stuck, I would like to help. Therapy is a place where you can establish and reclaim your sense of self and learn to live freely.

My ideal clients are people with individual, health issues, parkinson's, multiple sclerosis, premartial, marriage, family, relationship, and sex challenges, body dysmorphia, psycho-social issues, chronic illness, chronic pain, chronic emotional difficulties, anxiety, mood disorders, and personality disorders. The client is willing to have consistent dialogue about how to improve this area of their life and is willing to try new ideas and/or behaviors suggested during their sessions within their daily life. My ability to establish a quick rapport, understanding, and genuineness are keys to my success with my clients.
