• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helps manage anxiety, self-criticism, and unhelpful thoughts.
  
  
• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Builds emotional regulation and coping skills.
  
  
• Affirmative Therapy: Addresses identity-related stress and encourages pride and authenticity.
  
  
• Mindfulness-Based Therapy: Reduces anxiety and increases self-acceptance.

You are not a problem to fix—you are a person to support, celebrate, and empower.
