Mission, Vision, & Core Values
Mission
At A Therapist C’s, we strive to weave an anti-racist, anti-oppressive and culturally modest set of strategies & techniques innovatively and uniquely in order to advocate for divesting from systemic and systematic oppression practices and normatives that perpetuate (internalized) minoritization of Marginalized populations while providing online psychotherapy services; especially when serving Historically Disenfranchised Peoples and those affected by Marginalization
Vision
Our vision at A Therapist C’s is to empower people of the global majority to navigate adversity, strengthen resiliency, and continually advocate for social change by providing culturally responsive treatment that centers Historically Disenfranchised Peoples and embracing our corporate social responsibility to advocate for expanded Bioethics in Counseling through sustainable diligence and innovation.
Core Values
Advocacy (Self and Others)
In alignment with our Mission and Vision, we recognize the significance of advocacy work as more than an individual task—Especially as it relates to our unique relationship with the mental health industry, ourselves, our clients and their psychosocial wellbeing.
Bioethics
Defined as the professional practice of addressing ethical questions in health and health care— we focus ourselves specifically to Mental Healthcare and vow to challenge the dominant narratives consciously and unconsciously repeated, which have the potential to cause harm, by addressing individual, collective, and systemic biases and empowering our clients to do the same.
Cultural Humility
With the understanding that bioethics calls on us as professionals to address ethical questions and Advocacy is core to our mission— we believe in the practice of cultural humility for its ability to sustain culturally compassionate techniques as well as its ability to inform our efforts collectively and collaboratively.
Consciousness
Advocacy is our sun to orbit, Consciousness is our moon of influence— Guided by the wisdom and compassion that Bioethics and Cultural Humility cultivates, we are committed to the revelation of even that which is hidden from the light of conscientious awareness in clients, ourselves, and our communities
