Within Your Light is an educational platform. We do not provide therapy, diagnosis, or medical care.
This website is for people living in the United States. Laws, services and crisis lines are different in other countries.
Education, not a substitute for professional care. Within Your Light provides education only, through a biopsychosocial lens, and we review our content to the best of our abilities. It is designed to give you important information that you can talk through at your next therapy appointment, or your first one. It does not replace a visit with a licensed professional, who can tell you whether it applies to your situation.
