Our Core Values
Our core values aren’t what we do, but how we do it. They guide us in fostering safe connection with you every step of the way, from the first time you reach out to your final session.
Compassion
We practice compassion by emphasizing curiosity and relational care instead of judgment, holding the understanding that people’s actions make sense in the context of their experiences.
Authenticity
Authenticity is needed for safety, trust, and collaboration. We embrace imperfect humanness - yours and ours - so you can show up and feel accepted, just as you are. We’re all about connection, not perfection.
Integrity
We practice integrity by aligning our values with our actions, honouring boundaries, and prioritizing open, honest, and clear communication.
Self-Determination
Self-determination means you choose what's best for you. Choice is an important part of healing, and we aim to cultivate a space where you feel empowered and your autonomy is supported.
Ease
We believe in slow, spacious business practices that put people first and support regulated nervous systems. We make room for rest and joy. We keep it simple as much as we can - life is complex, starting therapy shouldn’t be.
Justice, Equity, Diversity & Inclusion
We believe in justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion. We believe in challenging oppressive systems that privilege some at the expense of others.
We believe that when everyone has what they need, we all succeed. We all deserve healing, yet not everyone has the same access to healing opportunities. This is why we offer an equity-centred fee model and the Affordable Therapy Program, to make therapy more accessible and allocate resources where they’re most needed.
You don’t have to have it all figured out to get started.
Even if you don’t know exactly what you want from therapy - knowing you want to feel better is enough. Let’s figure it out together.
