We uphold the highest standards of clinical practice as outlined by the American Psychological Association, the National Association of Social Workers, and the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies. We maintain rigorous competence through evidence-based interventions, ongoing supervision, and adherence to professional ethical codes in all aspects of our work.

We recognize that effective mental health care requires understanding the cultural, social, and individual contexts that shape each person's experience. We commit to ongoing cultural competence training, examining our own biases, and adapting our approaches to honor the diverse backgrounds, identities, and values of those we serve.

We recognize the power differential inherent in the therapeutic relationship and hold ourselves to the highest ethical standards. We maintain appropriate boundaries, protect client confidentiality, obtain informed consent, avoid conflicts of interest, and prioritize client welfare in every clinical decision we make.

We believe quality mental health care should be available to all who seek it. We work to reduce barriers to care through flexible service options, transparent communication about costs, and advocacy for mental health equity in our community and beyond.

We view therapy as a collaborative partnership where client expertise about their own lives meets our clinical expertise. We approach treatment planning as a shared process, respecting client autonomy, honoring individual goals, and recognizing that clients are the ultimate decision-makers in their own care.

We recognize that mental health is interconnected with physical health, relationships, work, and overall life satisfaction. We consider the whole person in our assessments and interventions, collaborating with other healthcare providers when appropriate to support comprehensive wellness.

We ground our clinical work in current psychological science while recognizing that research must be adapted to fit individual client needs, preferences, and contexts. We integrate the best available research with clinical expertise and client values to provide effective, personalized care.

We approach our profession with intellectual humility and curiosity. We commit to continuing education, staying current with emerging research and best practices, seeking consultation and supervision when needed, and continuously refining our clinical skills throughout our careers

We operate with honesty and integrity in all aspects of our practice. We communicate clearly about treatment approaches, progress, and limitations. We welcome feedback, acknowledge mistakes when they occur, and hold ourselves accountable to our clients, our profession, and regulatory bodies.

We recognize that clinician wellbeing directly impacts the quality of care we provide. We commit to maintaining healthy professional boundaries, preventing burnout, engaging in our own personal growth, and creating a practice environment that supports long-term sustainability and clinical excellence.
