Our Commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
As a women-owned and women-operated mental health practice with Spanish-speaking staff and clinicians from diverse ethnic backgrounds, we take pride in our commitment to inclusivity and accessibility. We strive to meet the unique needs of all our patients, including those with disabilities. Our services include in-person consultations, telehealth options, and home visits, ensuring that even those in hospice care can access the support they need.
At Wellness Psychiatry, we believe that mental health care is a fundamental right that should be accessible to everyone, regardless of their background. We are committed to fostering an environment where all individuals—clients and staff alike—feel valued, respected, and included.
Diversity: We strive to create a practice that reflects the diverse community we serve. We understand that each person brings a unique perspective, influenced by their culture, ethnicity, religion, age, gender identity, sexual orientation, physical ability, and socio-economic status. Our team is continually learning and adapting to meet the varied needs of our clients.
Equity: We are dedicated to providing equitable care and ensuring that all clients have access to the resources and support they need to achieve their mental health goals. We recognize the systemic barriers that can prevent marginalized groups from receiving appropriate care and are actively working to dismantle these barriers within our practice.
Inclusion: We create an inclusive atmosphere where everyone feels safe and supported. We believe that a collaborative and supportive environment enriches our practice and enhances our quality of care. Our policies and practices are designed to empower our clients and staff, encouraging their active participation in both treatment and organizational development.
Continuous Improvement: We are committed to ongoing education and reflection, understanding that the journey toward greater diversity, equity, and inclusion is continuous. We engage in regular training and consultation to ensure our practices are culturally competent and responsive to the needs of our community.
We invite feedback from our clients and community to help us continue to grow and improve in our DEI efforts. Together, we are dedicated to building a mental health practice that upholds the values of respect, fairness, and kindness towards all.
