to center the care of queer, trans, brown and Black communities and prioritize the liberation of all who have been marginalized. This includes our clinical staff who we believe are frontline workers in the fight against oppression.
03 / Ethos
Clinician-Focused
We believe our clinicians should be paid their fair share.
We take care of our clinicians, so they can take care of you.
NuANCE
We believe in the gray.
The best solution is NOT ALWAYS black and white.
RELATIONSHIPS
We’re better together than we are apart.
We believe in a commitment to one another.
care
We are tender, compassionate, and courageous in the protection of ourselves and others.
TRANSPARENCY
We believe that there’s nothing to hide.
Whether it’s in the way we practice, our financials, or our processes, we are committed to clarity.
RELIABILITY
We believe in doing the thing we say we’re going to do, and we take accountability when we don’t.
INDIVIDUALITY
Shared identity does not always mean shared experiences. There are as many paths to liberation as there are people in this world.
