What is Dr. Taustine's Philosophy?

"I hold the belief that we are all much more similar than different. We all want and need many of the same emotional, interpersonal, and internal things... self-respect, respect from others, security, love, safety, an internal sense of power and self-efficacy, to know we matter in the world. Within our sameness, though, the spark of uniqueness is what sets us apart, and that flame needs to be fanned and nurtured. I am a straight cis woman, a loud and proud LGBTQ+ ally, a staunch BLM supporter, a social liberal, a believer in science. As a devout vegan and animal rights activist, I remain respectful yet powerful in my position. My world is populated by people whose beliefs are diverse, and I am steadfastly supportive and encouraging of individuality, while believing that all opinions are most powerful when supported by verifiable facts. I am honored and humbled by the faith and trust my patients place in me, and work assiduously to continue to deserve it."
