Our Values
Sonder | This is a neologism (a newly coined word) that refers to the profound feeling of realizing that everyone, including strangers passing in the street, has a life as vivid and complex as one's own. It encompasses the understanding that every individual is a protagonist in their own epic story, full of ambitions, routines, friends, worries, and a unique history.
Grace | This represents unconditional acceptance, a core principle in therapy, where clients are met with understanding and non-judgment regardless of their past or present struggles. Our clients can explore their vulnerabilities in a safe and supportive environment to heal and grow.
