As of January 16, 2025, we at International Therapy Team believe it’s crucial to clearly communicate our values and approach to potential clients. Our practice is founded on principles of empathy, inclusion, fairness, and justice. We recognize that the current socio-political climate has led to significant changes in values and beliefs across our society.
We are deeply committed to:
Therapeutic Relationships
Establishing a strong therapeutic relationship requires alignment between the values of the therapist and the client. Given the current socio-political environment, we find it necessary to clarify that our practice may not be suitable for everyone.
We respectfully decline to engage in therapeutic relationships that conflict with our core values. It would be challenging and potentially counterproductive for our therapists to work towards objectives that fundamentally oppose our ethical standards.

Before reaching out or scheduling an appointment, we kindly ask that you reflect on your own values and beliefs. If you find that they align with ours, we welcome you with open arms. However, if there are significant differences, we encourage you to seek practices that better match your worldview and can provide more appropriate support.
As the owner of this practice and the voice of my team, it is my responsibility to ensure the safety and well-being of all involved – our clients, our therapists, and our support staff. We believe that the most effective therapy occurs in an environment of mutual respect and shared values.
We appreciate your understanding of our position. Our goal is to provide the highest quality of care in an environment that upholds our core values. If you feel that our approach aligns with your needs, we look forward to working with you. If not, we sincerely wish you the best in finding a practice that can serve you effectively.

At International Therapy Team, we believe in building a world where every individual is treated with dignity, compassion, and respect—no exceptions. There is no such thing as an illegal human. Everyone deserves access to healthcare and the resources they need to thrive, and we are committed to breaking down the barriers that stand in the way of these fundamental rights.
We stand firm in the belief that women’s voices matter and must be heard and uplifted. We also recognize that children have rights, and we affirm that abortion is healthcare. These principles are not up for debate—they are part of our core values.
We are deeply committed to the safety and well-being of the LGBTQIA+ community. At International Therapy Team, we not only welcome our LGBTQIA+ clients with open arms, but we also actively work to create a safe, supportive, and affirming environment where everyone can feel seen, respected, and celebrated for who they are.
We believe that greatness is not determined by race, background, or identity. At our foundation is a steadfast commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) . These values guide our work, ensuring that our services are rooted in fairness and understanding.
In addition, we hold no religious alliance and fully respect the diversity of beliefs and faiths. While we do not align with any specific religious ideology, we honor and respect the spiritual and personal beliefs of all our clients. We are here to provide support, free of judgment, and rooted in the values of empathy and inclusivity.
Furthermore, we believe no one should ever be treated as property or deprived of their humanity. To best serve you, we want to be transparent about our beliefs, as they shape the way we approach therapy, care, and connection.
At International Therapy Team , we honor the unique experiences of every client and are determined to match you with a therapist who aligns with your needs and values. These beliefs are central to who we are, and they will not change. Together, we can create a space where healing, growth, and transformation are possible for everyone.
