Dr. Robyn Flores noticed these words trending in her data as she continued trudging through her dissertation process. Many people struggle with 'existential incongruence', especially her clients who fall at the intersection of neurodivergence and marginalized sexual practices and/or self-expression. Dr. Flores conceptualizes these words, in this order, as a trajectory of 'existential congruence'.
Ethical and affirming therapeutic approaches are necessary for healing to take place.
We believe in being the change that the world needs. Dr. Flores advocates for the clinical mental health / relational therapy professions to collectively evolve for clinician wellbeing (i.e., paying student interns).
Ultimately, we all deserve to prosper (defined here as "flourish; grow strong and healthy") in one's humanness and to have an opportunity to travel the trajectory toward existential congruence.

You have the right to receive a "Good Faith Estimate" explaining how much your healthcare will cost.
Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don't have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment and hospital fees.
You can ask your healthcare provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
