Disability Pride Month is a time to honor the strength, diversity, and visibility of the disability community—including those with mental health conditions and invisible disabilities. At Acorn & Oak Services, we believe that your identity, your story, and your mental health are all worth celebrating. This blog explores how therapy can support self-acceptance, challenge stigma, and create space for healing—especially for those who’ve been made to feel unseen. Whether you identify as disabled or are seeking to be a better ally, this month is an invitation to learn, unlearn, and embrace the full spectrum of what it means to be human.

Independence isn’t just about doing things on your own—it’s about learning to trust yourself, honor your needs, and build balanced relationships. In this blog, we explore emotional independence as a deeper kind of freedom—one rooted in self-trust, boundaries, and letting go of people-pleasing. Therapy provides the space to reconnect with your inner voice, identify your values, and strengthen the confidence to live in alignment with your truth—without losing connection to others. If you're ready to redefine independence in a way that feels grounded and empowering, this post is for you.
