Interdependence & Independence- We balance togetherness & differentiation.

We openly acknowledge when personal needs & boundaries conflict with business needs or boundaries and work through conflict together with everyone’s best interest at heart. We do our best to respect the autonomy and freedom of the practitioner with the needs of the clients & business. We allow as much freedom as possible while functioning as an organization. We won’t gaslight you.

Self-Advocacy. Boundaries. Work/Life Balance. Radical Honesty.

OUR PURPOSE
OUR PURPOSE

We acknowledge our society’s cultural conditioning, bias, & systems. We respect the lived experience of all humans and work to fight the systems of oppression that affect us all. We believe that mental health can be pathologizing and actively work to take a holistic and wellness-based approach rather than emphasizing pathology.

Learning. Advocacy. Courage. Freedom.
