CORE VALUES

BALANCE:

​

...a balanced respect for the role of mind, body, and spirit in mental and physical health 

​

...a balanced respect for allopathic medicine versus other health care approaches, which all have value depending upon individualized personal factors and cost-benefit ratios

 

...a balanced respect for both the scientific method versus innovation and intuition, which sometimes outpace funding for clinical research and shifts in mainstream consensus

​

 

SOCIAL JUSTICE:

​

...because recognition and actualization of human equality is a fundamental expression of balance 

 

...because trauma experienced by individuals of minority groups, and the scientifically validated reality of intergenerational trauma due to forms of systemic oppression, cannot be overlooked by a trauma-informed practice

 

 

SERVICE:

 

...because as a healthcare consumer with choices, you deserve courtesy, sincerity, transparency and responsiveness

 

...because although this is how I make a living, it isn’t just a job
