Heart and Solutions' Commitment To Inclusion

Heart and Solutions, LLC is honored to serve the diversity of our communities with dignity and respect. We believe therapy and behavioral health intervention services should be spaces of compassion and support, not hate or prejudice. Our staff aims to provide equitable and empathetic care to our clients of all identities including, but not limited to: age, color, creed, gender identity, marital status, mental disability, national origin, physical disability, race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and veteran status. We are committed to supporting the identities and experiences of each person we serve to create therapeutic spaces that promote healing and positive change.

We do this by:

  • Hiring staff who are committed to serving the diversity of our client communities

  • Enacting best practices for affirming and supportive care for clients from a diversity of communities

  • Providing ongoing support and training for administrative and clinical staff related to identity and inclusive care practices

  • Connecting to resources that support the needs of our client communities and building relationships with organizations that serve the diversity of our clients
