Our Guiding Values

Holism

We understand that wellness is comprised of intimately interconnected life areas and circumstances. Thus, we do not focus on just one aspect of a person, unit, or organization's healing without considering and developing a plan to address all aspects of that person’s, unit, or organization's health.

Healing

We believe that healing “is the personal experience of the transcendence of suffering.” (Egnew, 2005) Thus, we value our role in the healing process which aims to restore one back to their original state or a renewed state of well-being to reach one’s desired outcomes. This is fostered by our following two values.

Empathy

The ability to gain others' perspective or understand circumstances through assessment of their feelings and needs.

Cultural and Socioemotional Responsiveness

We commit to providing a culturally and socioemotional safe and supportive environment that is highly self and socially aware and embeds the principles, tools, and skills of emotional intelligence and cultural competence in our practice.
