We embrace authentic and genuine interactions with our clients, colleagues, and peers.

We acknowledge that there will be times where this is difficult and accept that it is part of all of our journey.

We accept that none of us are perfect and that it is our imperfections that promote connection.

We encourage and promote connection through emotional sharing and vulnerability with each other.

We recognize that healing must come through connection and that connection helps to ameliorate suffering.

Individual and collective meaning must be created to help find purpose. It is through purpose that we are better able to identify, accept, and no longer avoid our pain.

Through making meaning in our lives, we are able to experience authentic connection, both with ourselves and with others, and continually define our purpose.

Learning to respect ourselves and our efforts to learn how to do life is a part of reducing shame.

We will demonstrate respect for people's lived experiences, believe their journey and their experience, and work with people to incorporate it into their healing.

We will reject the either/or dichotomy and embrace a both/and belief which allows us to be present regardless of the situation.

We will passionately promote the spectrum of life and the abundance of opportunities for individual and collective growth.

We intentionally practice self-care as clinicians and work to maintain a healthy work/life balance as a means of flourishing.

We actively create a growth-focused environment for our colleagues and clients through supporting each other to develop purpose through forming healthy, mutually beneficial connections.
