We strive to create an environment where everyone feels valued, respected, and included, regardless of their race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, religion, disability, or any other dimension of diversity. In our pursuit of equity, we continuously assess and challenge our practices, policies, and systems to ensure they are fair, unbiased, and supportive of diversity.

Our staff attends annual continuing education workshops that specifically address cultural competence in psychotherapy. We also meet weekly as a team to discuss clinical assessment, diagnosis, and treatment with race, sexual orientation, gender, religious identification, and other contextual variables addressed specifically in case formulation. Finally, our practice owner, Dr. Josh Spitalnick, trained at the Center for Multicultural Training in Psychology (CMTP) during residency through Boston University, and brings his experiences and expertise in this domain of cultural competence to the training of all staff clinicians.
