Cultural Congruence
Culture plays an important role in our lives and is the mechanism through which many people define themselves and their place in the world. Culture can refer to our experiences with everything from our ethnicity, our gender, or our sexual orientation. A mental health provider who uses a cultural congruence approach can enhance outcomes by using a culturally sensitive lens in treatment.

Our clinicians are trained in anti-oppressive, culturally responsive care and bring lived experience from the communities we serve. We consider the client’s intersecting identities, cultural background, and relationship to systemic oppression in every aspect of our work. These topics are core to our case consultations and supervision culture, and this lens shapes how we show up in the therapy room.
