Core Values

What happens in sessions will not be disclosed, unless the laws regarding the limits of confidentiality are breached. Counselors are legally required to seek crisis intervention if a person appears to be a danger to themselves or others, if they suspect abuse or neglect of a minor under age 18, an older person over age 60, or a disabled person.

What happens in group, stays in group. Group members agree to not disclose who is in group and what they share to ensure that group interactions are a safe space.

We operate on a foundation of belonging. We make efforts to include everyone who joins groups, welcoming who they are and what they bring to the table.

We value different perspectives and backgrounds. We treat others respectfully and try to understand them rather than judging.

We recognize that everyone has their own path in life, and we refrain from judging someone else's beliefs, experiences or background.

We may discern and explore experiences and processes, coming from a place of curiosity and seeking to understand, and extend compassion to cultivate belonging.

We establish and maintain healthy boundaries, which means we share what we feel comfortable sharing.

We recognize that knowing the right boundaries is a process, and we support each other as we learn what to share and what to withhold.

We honor difficulties as teaching moments, and attempt to walk beside one another on our journeys. We seek to accept what is as we try to learn and grow.

We extend grace when there are missteps and we seek to understand each other's perspectives and experiences. We extend grace and assume positive intent as part of the learning process.

We seek to understand and accept the truth about ourselves. We recognize that growth can be a vulnerable experience, and we honor others where they are on their journeys.

We provide space for ourselves and others to explore perspectives, knowing we are all learning and growing in the process.
