Our Mission & Values
“Congruence” is the quality of being in agreement. Our mission is all about helping individuals find congruence between their beliefs, values, attitudes, and behaviors and to find meaningful connections within the world. Ultimately, we hope to be agents of harmony and unity within and between communities across the planet.
Mission
Congruence Counseling & Psychology exists to be a source of support for people, especially (but not exclusively) for those navigating identity conflicts and identity development. We provide access to evidence-based psychotherapy, consultations, and research for individuals and their loved ones who are exploring or reconciling identities related to sexual orientation, gender, race/ethnicity, culture, religion/spirituality, and family, among others. Our aim is to help individuals and communities to find congruence—or a sense of harmony, acceptance, and wholeness—beyond our diverse and sometimes conflicting identities, labels, values, and politics.
“Only by learning to live in harmony with your contradictions can you keep it all afloat.”
— Audre Lorde, interview in Denver Quarterly (1981)
