Our Care Values
We believe in holding a sincerely approachable space that is declarative, empathetic, and imaginative! Our care is inclusive and neuro-affirming. We honor all communication styles, and empower clients through a client-led, shame-free, collaborative partnership.
In underscoring a therapeutic rapport built on inclusivity and trust, paired with humor, every client will be invited to reflect upon their:
-
mind-body relationship
-
connection to nature
-
external sensory input
We understand how environmental adaptions support accommodations. This puts less emphasis on a client conforming, and more focus on building trust and collaboration. This is modeled in our work together in the therapeutic rapport, as well as in the care partner's approach and flexibility with their loved one. The Patient Palette clinicians support both through this delicate process.
A care partner can be a parent, guardian, adult child, educator, group home supervisor, direct support professional, neighbor...there is such a wide variance of care partners that we work alongside.

Advocacy
The Patient Palette maintains relationships with organizations that advocate for the well-being and mental health of individuals in our community. We always welcome hearing how we can better meet our community's needs, as well as look forward to partnering with other practices and businesses that share similar values for community wellness.
Theoretical values
We are trained in understanding human development across the lifespan. We value an integrated approach to care that embodies elements of Humanistic, Psychodynamic, Behavioral, and Biological theories of therapy. We believe in holding a sincerely approachable space, that is both empathetic and imaginative. We offer a 20-minute First Client greeting call to make sure that you find us the right fit for your needs, and vice versa, at no cost. We believe each client should have a realistic expectation about what we can offer them through the process of Creative Arts Therapy.
