and constructively integrate individual lived experiences.
Our Values
Authenticity
It’s in the name!
Authenticity is the root of both individual and relationship satisfaction. It brings the best of you to yourself, your partner(s), your children and parents, your family, friends, and community. And, it opens the door for authenticity in return.
Diversity
The range of human experiences and expression is amazing. At Authentic Interactions, we welcome and celebrate diversity in all its forms: cultural diversity, spiritual diversity, neurodiversity, and gender, sexual, and relationship diversities. Central to our practice is the belief that our interest is the unique person that is you, your unique couple, and your unique family.
Compassion
Everyone has the right to learn and grow, to be seen in their imperfect humanity, and to be met with empathy and compassion. Equally, we each have the responsibility to extend empathy and compassion to others.
Gender Equity
Gender equity is the ground on which individuals, partners, and families can define their own roles that allow them to realize their full potential without limitation by stereotypes or cultural scripts.
Our Approaches
Systemic and socio-constructivist
This approach asserts that there is no “one and only” truth in any situation: realities and meanings are co-constructed through the interactions between culture, language, and life experience. Our work encourages exploring and redefining perceptions to allow new possibilities for understanding and action. To this end, we recognize that each person is the primary expert of their own life and has the power to transform their reality and create a meaningful life.
Solution oriented
Our work emphasizes the strengths, resources, and solutions already present within the person, rather than focusing on the problems. We aim to identify concrete pathways and tools for change, and support the practices needed to move forward. The focus is on the present — building a satisfying and desirable life.
Collaboration and cooperation
This approach is based on an equal, respectful, and trusting relationship between us. It emphasizes active listening, authenticity, and non-judgment to create a safe space. Together, we move forward at your pace, respecting your needs and goals. We also invite you to adopt this same approach with those you love.
