Volunteers

Our Volunteers and Our Values

Volunteers bring warmth and care to our practice, helping to create a welcoming atmosphere for all. By learning and forming genuine connections, they help foster a safe, compassionate space where clients feel truly seen and supported.
Their presence and support reflects our deep commitment to genuineness, compassion, and inclusive care—extending empathy beyond therapy sessions by assisting with tasks that enhance the overall client experience.
 All of our volunteers are thoughtfully selected and trained to respect privacy and work collaboratively with our therapists, supporting our shared mission of delivering compassionate, authentic, and inclusive care.
