Community Agreements
For Althea Therapy Professionals

At Althea Therapy, we follow a culture-first approach where we enable people across Canada to find a therapist or wellness professional, like you, who understands their unique cultural identity.

The Agreements

by Althea Therapy

As a member of our community of professionals, it’s important that we are aligned in what it means to practice cultural humility and provide culturally responsive care.

​

We define culturally responsive therapy as responding to and creating space for the client’s cultural context, which shapes their distress and overall life experiences.

​

We must make room for affirming cross-cultural interactions in the therapeutic process and respecting the dignity and agency of the client in all their intersections.

​

We want to cultivate critical conversations that create an intentional space to build shared language and practices.

​

By joining the Althea Therapy community, you agree to the following Community Agreements.

​

  • I recognize that multiple forms of oppression can impact historically marginalized people. I am committed to working from anti-oppressive values.

  • I will practice cultural humility and will lean into the discomfort to develop deeper, richer connections with my clients.

  • I will provide culturally responsive care in the therapeutic process by understanding and conceptualizing how the client’s social identities interact and influence the client’s perception of their distress.
