About me

I’m glad you’re here. You are looking for a way to feel better, cope better, and you’re taking steps. Maybe I am the one to walk this path with you.
My name is Brenda Truax and I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I’ve been serving individuals, couples, and families for 26 years. So many issues have been laid before me, and we always find a way to relieve some of the stress, doubts, and fears. You might be dealing with identity, depression, grief, anxiety, sexuality, relationships, trauma, parenting, or work issues. By using proven methods I can help you find new ways of dealing with these issues. The answers are already inside you, it’s just that often there is other noise in the way.
My style is laid back, accepting, and open to your truth. I find myself often laughing with clients in our sessions. After all, life can be ironic!
Let me know if I can help you learn more about yourself, your perspectives, and your interactions with the world.
It will be good to hear from you.

Brenda has been a wonderful help to me. I have a lot going on and didn’t even know where to start. Brenda began by getting to know me and doing so in a non aggressive way. She is kind and caring and only wants to support me and help me progress in this life and become the person I am meant to be. It’s taken a long time to find a therapist that’s good fit for me and she is perfect!

This therapist has been extremely helpful for me. She actively listens, grasps the key matters of concern and matters affecting me. She makes well chosen suggestions for my handling the issues, without pressure or judgement. I am very glad she was matched with me.
