Organizations We Support

At True Course Counseling, our practice deeply values giving back and uplifting local organizations to help make positive, lasting impacts on those facing difficulties. Through financial contributions and volunteer efforts, we partner with incredible non-profits whose missions align with our own—providing compassionate care, empowering personal growth, and creating more equitable communities for all.

Sienna Art Studios

Sienna Art Studios captures the beauty of the natural world through hand-drawn numberism illustrations, created entirely with data that describes their subjects. Each piece takes around 50 hours to draw and up to a year to research, inviting viewers to look closer and ask meaningful questions about the sciences. The artist, who overcame math anxiety through this process, collaborates with teachers, scientists, and students to ensure scientific accuracy and inspire curiosity about the natural world.
