A Commitment to Inclusive and Anti-Oppressive Mental Health CarE
At Psychology Associates, we are committed to creating a healing space that prioritizes mental health and well-being for all individuals, particularly those who have been historically marginalized. We acknowledge and challenge the structural and systemic racism that continues to impact Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC), LGBTQ+ communities, and individuals with disabilities. Our approach is rooted in anti-racist, anti-oppressive, and social justice principles, ensuring that every person’s identity, culture, and lived experiences are respected and celebrated.
We also recognize the role that white privilege plays in shaping the mental health field and its impact on access to care. It is important for us to acknowledge the ways in which systemic inequalities can contribute to a lack of cultural competence and understanding, and we strive to continuously challenge these dynamics in our practice. We are dedicated to providing compassionate care that actively works to dismantle harmful systems, fostering a more inclusive, equitable, and affirming environment for all people seeking support.
We have a list of resources, articles and podcasts on our resources page and we will continue to add local and global resources on BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and general mental health information.
