“To pay attention. This is our endless and proper work.”
Mission
Welcome to Dyad Psychology! We’re so happy you’re here!
We believe human beings are hardwired for healing, and that the potential to heal resides within us, no matter what we’ve experienced. We believe healing occurs only in relationship with others, and we try to help our clients - and ourselves - become stronger in the broken places. We believe this process of healing is a mind-body experience. By working with trauma, loss, and pain, we discover places that have always been strong: places that were never broken.
Our Values
“Kindness is a language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.”
1. Warmth and kindness
At Dyad Psychology, we treat human beings who may be struggling with difficult relationships, challenging transitions, uncomfortable emotions, and concerns about the future. Everyone deserves to be treated with care, consideration, friendliness, generosity, and empathy.
““Trust is the result of a risk successfully survived.””
2. Trust
Trust is a central ingredient of all human relationships, including therapeutic relationships. It makes social life predictable, creates a sense of community, and facilitates collaboration. We believe treatment must be conducted with integrity, a sense of security, safety, reliability, and hope.
““There is no formula of success, except, perhaps, an unconditional acceptance of life and what it brings.””
3. Acceptance
Acceptance is the willingness to tolerate difficult feelings and thoughts. We believe acceptance of what life brings, without judgment, is the first step in working wisely and effectively to mitigate, heal, and change.
4. Competence
We believe that, as a mental health practice, we must exemplify the highest code of ethics. We provide evidence-based, skillful, and respectful treatment and strive to exemplify professionalism, accountability, sensitivity to diversity, and non-maleficence.
