Compassionate, personalized therapy for the life you are living—and the life you want to create.
Embrace the Future with True Image Associates
A Space to Pause, Heal, and Reconnect
Life can feel overwhelming when you are managing personal responsibilities, relationships, family needs, career demands, and the expectations others place on you. Even the strongest people sometimes need a space where they do not have to hold everything together.
At True Image Associates, therapy is a collaborative process centered on helping you better understand yourself, recognize patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and develop healthier ways of responding to life’s challenges. Together, we will build upon your strengths while creating practical strategies that support meaningful and lasting change.
You do not have to have everything figured out before beginning therapy. You only need a willingness to take the first step.
Passionate Counselor
Tiyanna Payne, LMSW ACSW BCD
I am a licensed clinical social worker with nearly two decades of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through personal challenges, relationship concerns, life transitions, anxiety, grief, stress, and emotional overwhelm.
My approach is compassionate, honest, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that people already possess many of the strengths needed to create change. Therapy provides an opportunity to recognize those strengths, gain a deeper understanding of yourself, and develop tools that support the life and relationships you desire.
In addition to my clinical practice, I have extensive experience in social work leadership, supervision, higher education, program development, and public speaking. I understand the unique pressures experienced by professionals and leaders who are frequently expected to support everyone else while receiving little space to care for themselves.
At True Image Associates, you are seen as a whole person—not simply as a diagnosis, problem, or list of symptoms.
What to Expect At Your Visit
What to Expect from Therapy
Beginning therapy can feel both hopeful and uncertain. My goal is to create an environment in which you feel respected, supported, and comfortable being honest about what you are experiencing.
During our work together, we may explore your thoughts, emotions, relationships, experiences, and behavioral patterns. We will identify the concerns affecting your well-being, clarify what you would like to change, and develop goals that reflect your individual needs.
Therapy is not a quick fix, and meaningful change rarely happens all at once. It is a process of increasing self-awareness, practicing new skills, challenging unhelpful patterns, strengthening boundaries, and learning to respond to yourself with greater compassion.
Sessions are currently provided through telehealth, allowing you to participate from a private and comfortable location within Michigan.
