We believe in dialectical thinking and balance in life.  We balance acceptance of where you are in any particular moment with the need for change. We support behavior that is in the service of your personal values. With the necessary tools and skills, you can begin to build the life you want to live. We believe that everyone is capable of learning how to accept and manage powerful emotions that are currently overwhelming. We respect and value diversity, including but not limited to gender, race, sexual orientation, and religion.
