At IntraSpectrum Counseling, we know that affirming psychotherapy is a powerful tool that can provide symptom relief, and help people discover their growth edges and form healthier relationships with themselves and others. We also know the importance of talking openly about mental health issues in as many forums as possible – including here on our website. Inclusive, respectful and meaningful conversations can increase awareness; reduce stigma and misinformation; and encourage those who are struggling to seek help.
