Guiding Quote:
“Those who fall in love with practice without science are like a sailor who enters a ship without a helm or a compass, and who never can be certain whither he is going.” – Leonardo da Vinci
Integrity
Our clinicians act with integrity and honesty. We abide by our ethical and professional conduct guidelines. We place a high value on say-do correspondence (doing what we say and saying what we mean). We implement treatment protocols in the manner in which they were designed and regularly evaluate the effectiveness of our outcomes.
Compassionate
We want to make the workplace an environment that promotes personal growth. We appreciate others’ perspectives and situations when different from our own. We genuinely care about our clients’ and co-workers’ needs and strive to collaborate to achieve shared outcomes.
