Full Spectrum Therapy Mission Statement
To serve and empower the LGBTQ+ community through affirming counseling and care.
Who We Serve
Full Spectrum currently serves over 300 clients, ranging from youth and adolescents to couples and families. Over 90% of our clients are on Medicaid, which means we uniquely serve a population that otherwise may not have access to high-quality gender-affirming mental health services. We offer several therapeutic groups that are formed in response to community need and provider passion; these groups offer our clinicians an opportunity to work together to explore a particular modality (such as somatics or art therapy) or mental health experience (such as social anxiety). While working at Full Spectrum, our clinicians are empowered to continue their professional journeys with our support. Current clinicians have secured continuing education in EMDR, psychedelic integration services, eco therapy, and more!
Full Spectrum Therapy Core Values
Serve the Community: We strive to amplify and empower the LGBTQ+ experience by tirelessly advocating for and supporting our clients, all while delivering care that adheres to the highest ethical standards.
Create Strong Relationships: We champion the principle that affirming counseling is a right for all. We not only acknowledge but also deeply understand and celebrate the unique perspectives and experiences of the LGBTQ+ community. Central to our ethos is our dedication to building robust, nurturing relationships within the team, our clients, and our community.
Liberation for All: We firmly believe in the power of diversity and the importance of liberation for mental well-being. Our foundational principles are built upon the tenets of diversity, equity, accessibility, and liberation.
We acknowledge that workplaces, being made up of individuals, often reflect societal power dynamics and structures. Our commitment is unwavering in actively confronting and challenging systemic and individual biases, whether they manifest as racism, misogyny, prejudice against the LGBTQ+ community, ableism, classism, anti-Muslim bigotry, antisemitism, or any form of oppression.
We pride ourselves on being a supportive workplace. Tailored, supportive measures are integral to our values and operations. Our dedication to the welfare of our communities extends inwards, emphasizing the well-being and care of our deeply valued staff members.
Quality is Key: Our commitment is rooted in the pursuit of excellence. We prioritize approaches that are backed by evidence. Our actions and decisions are consistently guided by trauma-informed principles. We believe the therapeutic journey begins the moment someone connects with us for the very first time. To ensure seamless and positive telehealth interactions, we equip our providers with premier technology for the benefit of both providers and clients.
*Compensation will be based on years of experience, licensure type, and/or quantity/quality of KSA relevant to the position.
