At Reedy River Counseling Associates, our core values are centered around the belief that every individual is deserving of respect, compassion, and individualized care. Our practice is guided by the following values:
Empathy and Compassion: We believe in creating a safe and non-judgmental space for our clients to share their experiences, feelings, and struggles. We approach our clients with empathy and compassion, acknowledging the complexity and depth of their experiences.
Holistic Care: We believe in providing holistic care that addresses the physical, emotional, societal, and psychological aspects of an eating disorder. We recognize that eating disorders are not just about food and body image, but stem from underlying psychological and emotional issues.
Individualized Treatment: We believe that each client's journey to recovery is unique, and therefore, we provide individualized treatment plans that are tailored to their specific needs. We work collaboratively with our clients to set goals and develop strategies that support their recovery.
Evidence-Based Practice: We believe in using evidence-based treatments that have been shown to be effective in treating eating disorders. We stay up-to-date on the latest research and integrate this knowledge into our treatment plans.
Cultural Competence: We believe in providing culturally sensitive care that acknowledges each individual’s unique lived experiences. We strive to create an inclusive and welcoming environment that celebrates diversity and promotes equity.
Collaboration: We believe in working collaboratively with other healthcare professionals, such as primary care physicians, psychiatrists, dietitians, and other mental health providers, to ensure that our clients receive comprehensive care. We also involve family members and loved ones in the treatment process when appropriate.
Accountability: We hold ourselves accountable for providing high-quality care and continuously strive to improve our practice through ongoing education, training, supervision, and self-reflection.
Through these values, we aim to provide our clients with the support and resources they need to achieve lasting recovery from their eating disorder.
