TRUE NORTH THERAPY
Find your way back to yourself. At True North we work with men and couples to help navigate the challenges of mental health, relationships and personal growth.
For too long, you've carried burdens alone. Reconnect with your emotions, strengthen your relationships, and break free from patterns that no longer serve you.
Whether you're struggling with motivation, feeling alone, or have been hurt in the past, you can heal, grow, and reclaim your life in this supportive space .
Let’s take the first step together.
You’ve always figured things out on your own.
Maybe you had to. When you did ask for help, people let you down. So you learned it was safer not to ask at all. You learned to be self-reliant. Strong. Unshakable.
You were told to “man up,” “don’t be so sensitive.”
But no one ever taught you how to feel—how to name what’s going on inside, or what to do with it.
Now, as an adult, you want to be more than just the provider or the rock. You want to be an emotionally present partner. A connected, compassionate father. A kind, communicative friend. But most days, you just feel… numb. Disconnected. Like there should be more to life.
Why don’t you feel happier?
That’s where I come in. I’m Anil Shah, an associate marriage and family therapist who believes change happens through collaboration, empathy, and genuine human connection. I work side by side with my clients—men, boys, and couples—supporting them as we navigate challenges together. Every person and every relationship is unique, and my approach is rooted in a deep commitment to helping you uncover and overcome what holds you back.

Whether you’re seeking healing from past wounds or looking to build stronger, more fulfilling relationships. Together, we can create a future where you feel more confident, connected, and at peace.
HOW WE WORK TOGETHER

TRUE NORTH FOR MEN
Your parents did the best they could, but their best still hurt you. People you should have been able to count on have left. Sometimes you feel like you have no one to really talk to. Maybe you’re trying to be a good dad while you’re still mad at your dad? Maybe you’re pushing away the people who love you? Maybe you’re scared that you’re turning into the parent who hurt you? I’m here to help. This isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about becoming more you.

TRUE NORTH FOR COUPLES
It seems like no matter how hard you try you and your partner just can’t get on the same page. You’re constantly having different version of the same fight. You’ve noticed yourself feeling avoidant, staying later than you would at work. Perhaps you’ve started to feel anger and resentment toward your partner. Maybe you’ve noticed that your partner reminds you of that parent you just couldn’t please. If any of this sounds familiar then I’m here to help you and your partner find new and creative ways to reconnect and find a way to make your relationship feel like home again.

TRUE NORTH FOR TEENS
You’ve noticed your child struggling but when you ask what’s happening they give you a one word answer. Your child is quick to anger, or tears. Perhaps their grades have taken a sudden decline or they have stopped doing the things they love. Growing up is hard for kids but it’s also hard to be a parent who doesn’t always have the solutions to every problem. That’s where I can help, I work with children and teens to help them open up about their experiences. My goal is to empower your child to name and own their experiences and find the confidence it takes to share themselves with you.

EMDR
EMDR is a highly structured therapeutic approach that helps people process and resolve traumatic memories and feelings. Together we will use a series of taps and eye movements while in an imaginative meditative state to process your pain and trauma. It may sound intimidating but it’s actually very easy to get into and we can go at your pace. It can be especially helpful in dealing with events and memories from your past that still affect your present. EMDR can be incorporated into any individual therapy treatment.
