Our Commitment to Equity Starts Within
At Street Therapy, we provide mental health services for clients across the lifespan. Our dedicated Street Therapists and Clinicians hail from diverse academic, religious, spiritual, and cultural backgrounds. We recognize our social responsibility to honour the inherent worth of all individuals, fostering a secure environment for both clinicians and clients to engage in therapeutic relationships. We steadfastly oppose discrimination based on gender and gender identification, religion and spirituality, age, sex, ethnicity, cultural background, or any visible and invisible disabilities.
Promoting Allyship: Elevating Voices and Fostering Solidarity
We firmly believe that allyship goes beyond mere acceptance; it involves active support and advocacy for marginalized groups. As mental health practitioners, we prioritize listening, perpetual education, and leveraging our privileges to amplify our clients' voices. Acknowledging our imperfections, we refrain from overshadowing our clients' narratives, opting instead to practice genuine solidarity. Our commitment is not just to provide therapy but to empower and uplift, acknowledging the diverse perspectives that contribute to the richness of the human experience.
