Our Philosophy at Insight Therapy
At Insight Therapy, we are committed to providing compassionate, understanding, and inclusive care through a trauma-informed approach. Here’s what that means to us:
Safety
We prioritize creating a physical and emotional environment where you feel safe. We ensure confidentiality and privacy, establishing trust through consistency and reliability in our interactions
Trustworthiness and Transparency
We build trust with our clients by being transparent about our procedures, decisions, and treatment plans. Clear and open communication, coupled with honesty and integrity, is at the heart of our practice
Peer Support
We believe in the power of mutual self-help and support. By encouraging the sharing of experiences, we foster a supportive community among our clients
Empowerment, Voice, and Choice
We empower our clients by giving you a voice and a choice in your treatment. We encourage self-advocacy and self-empowerment, providing options and allowing you to make informed decisions about your care
Collaboration and Mutuality
We emphasize partnership and aim to level power differences between therapist and client. By working together in a collaborative manner, we value and consider your input and preferences throughout the therapeutic process
Cultural, Historical, and Gender Sensitivity
We understand and address cultural, historical, and gender-specific issues that may impact your trauma and healing process. Our care is culturally sensitive and inclusive, recognizing and addressing systemic inequalities and biases
