Individual therapy is a joint process between a therapist and you in therapy. Your goals in therapy can be to inspire, change, or improve your quality of life.

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is a type of cognitive-behavioral therapy that combines strategies like mindfulness and acceptance.

CBT is founded on the belief that how we think (cognitions), how we feel (emotions) and how we act (behaviors) all interact together. Our beliefs define our feelings and our behavior.

Affirming an identity or an experience simply means I accept, encourage, validate, and defend it against those who challenge it.
