Our Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion
By Rich Schlauch, MSW, LISW-CP • August 11, 2020
We are always concerned to learn about negative views being associated with our practice and would like to reassure everyone that these views are not shared among the team at Palmetto Counseling & Consulting Services, LLC in any way shape, or form.
Palmetto Counseling’s Core Values
As a practice, our team is committed and devoted to the following core values in our work with clients:
Diversity and Inclusion
We pride ourselves on our diversity and inclusion in terms of our clinical team; which allows us to provide treatment to everyone, regardless of ethnicity, color, age, gender, sexual identity or orientation, religious or political views.
Maintaining a Safe Therapeutic Environment
We are committed to promoting a safe and inclusive environment for all of our patients. One in which they can feel completely comfortable, welcome, and safe to grow and heal.
No Tolerance for Judgment or Cruelty
Our practice is a safe haven where views such as racism, hatred, cruelty, abuse, or stigma will not be tolerated and are not consistent with our mission to provide exceptional mental health treatment to others with dignity and respect.
Our Dedication to Helping People Move Forward
The diversity within the rural and urban areas surrounding Palmetto Counseling’s practices inspires our commitment to providing equally diverse care. Our team has been carefully selected to service clients throughout their lifespan, starting at ages 3 or 4, through several, ever-evolving therapeutic methods and treatment specialties.
It is our mission to help as many people as possible move forward, fueling our determination to attract clients of all ethnicities, backgrounds, and experiences while possessing the skillset, team, and accessibility required to fill servicing gaps and ensure an inclusive experience for every client.
Judgment Free Care For All
Palmetto Counseling operates without judgment and we commend all clients for their courageous choice to actively improve their well-being and begin to move forward from hardship. We invite you to enter our practice exactly as you are and find support in our empathetic team of therapists solely dedicated to helping you leave feeling lighter and happier after each session.
