# From *curiosity*, care, and collaboration

The vision and values that shape how we work — with each other and with every person who comes through our door.

Our Foundation

## Everything we do grows from *three commitments*

Care, Curiosity, and Collaboration aren't just words — they're how we show up for our team, see the people we serve, and do the work together.

Care

How We Show Up

We treat every person — colleague, client, and partner — with honesty, humility, and dignity. Respect and transparency are how we make it safe to show up fully.

Curiosity

How We See & Grow

We stay curious about the people we lead and the people we serve — their strengths, their stories, and where they want to go. We stay teachable so we can keep growing.

Collaboration

How We Do the Work

We build on each other to do the work better. The best outcomes — for clients and for our team — come from working together, not working alone.

Our Vision

## What we're *working toward*

To provide dignified mental health services from a strengths-based, client-centered posture — drawing on evidence-based approaches to meet our community's mental health needs. We strive to be a safe, supportive place where new clinicians can learn, grow, and move confidently toward independent licensed practice.

Employment Values

## How we work *together*

Care How We Show Up for Each Other

We treat every person — colleague, client, and partner — with honesty, humility, and dignity. We say hard things when they need to be said, and we say them graciously. Transparency is how we demonstrate trust. Respect is how we make it safe to show up fully.

Curiosity How We Invest in Our People

We lead by staying curious about the people we lead — their strengths, their passions, and where they want to go. We build time and structure around growth, make room for individual contributions, and stay teachable ourselves. When our people are strong, the whole community grows stronger.

Collaboration How We Do the Work

We bring competence and care to everything we do, and we build on each other to do it better. We practice within our scope, invest in our team, and hold ourselves to a standard we actively work to maintain. We build people, not programs — because the outcomes we care about live in relationships.

Guiding Principles

## How we work *with clients*

Care

How We Show Up for Clients

Clients know where they want to go. Our job is to know the terrain and walk alongside them — not in front of them. We approach every person with unconditional positive regard, hold their dignity in every conversation, and remember that we are one step on a journey that belongs entirely to them.

Curiosity

How We *See* the Whole Person

Every client arrives with strengths, a story, a culture, and values that shape how they experience the world. We stay curious — asking more than assuming, learning more than concluding. Trauma-informed, culturally humble, and strengths-focused, we meet the whole person, not just the presenting problem.

Collaboration

How We *Move Forward* Together

Counseling is a working partnership. We listen, reflect, and co-create — helping clients find their own solutions and discover strengths they may not have known they had. We name what needs to be named, bring our full competence to the room, and trust that the best outcomes come from doing this work together.

Working with RLCBH means you can align with these values and feel a genuine connection to them in your own life. It doesn't mean you embody them perfectly — it means that while in the workplace, you do your best to understand, respect, and grow within them. Our vision and values are not rules. They inform the kind of culture and service we strive every day to provide.

## Ready to be part of this team?

If these values resonate with you, we'd love to hear from you — whether you're a new graduate or an experienced clinician.
