Compassionate Care for All
Inclusion
Our mission at Cottonwood Creek Wellness Center is to provide a sense of emotional safety for all who enter the therapy space. We welcome all individuals seeking mental health services, including all races and ethnicities, sexual and gender identities, religious affiliations, social economic status, ability and nationalities.
We want our clients to know that our clinicians are willing to talk openly about identity differences between Therapist and Client. We understand that trust is fundamental to building a strong therapeutic relationship.
Anti-Racism Statement
At Cottonwood Creek Wellness Center we feel confident in taking a stand against racism, bigotry, and hate in any form. We are committed to affecting positive change and seeking a deeper understanding of racism and its impact on our clients, our community and our staff.
We recognize that racism exists in multiple forms and can be both overt or covert. We acknowledge that racism may be implicit, unconscious, or unintentional. Therefore, identifying racism as a problem does not necessarily mean that the individuals who participated in the act are themselves racists or were intending to cause harm.
