Relationship-Centered
We value relationships as the most critical component of change. Growth and healing happen in the context of affirming, responsive, empathic relationships.
Person-in-
Environment
We consider family, social, system, and societal impacts on individual wellbeing. We are each a part of a greater ecosystem, and we seek to engage day-to-day supports to catalyze change.
Trauma-Responsive
We recognize the prevalence of trauma and stress in people’s lives, and we address the impact of these experiences to support recovery. We do this by emphasizing safety and stability, client voice and choice, trust and collaboration, and empowerment in care.
Development
& Attachment
We incorporate an individual’s caregiving experiences and developmental goals across the lifespan. This ensures services are attuned to an individual’s developmental needs and growth.
Culturally
Responsive
We honor the importance of an individual’s culture in shaping their worldview. We work together to incorporate each individual’s unique context and needs to promote healing and resilience.
Community
We believe community is the foundation of our individual wellbeing and collective strength. We foster community connection and vitality to facilitate deeper restoration and growth.
Four practices hold the model together:
What does this model mean for you as a client?
It means your therapist starts with the relationship, considers your family and community rather than only the presenting concern, follows your lead on pace and choice, and works with your culture and history rather than around them.
