Diversity and Inclusion

Human diversity is not only respected but celebrated at Westside Psychological Services. We strive to embody a spirit of inclusion and engagement that honors the individual differences and socio-cultural identities of our staff, students, and clients alike. By continuously identifying and addressing our own personal biases, we remain devoted to the ongoing development of cultural humility. Our commitment to strengthening cultural competence within our team and our students allows us to affirm and explore with clients the impact of areas such as Socioeconomic status or class, sexual orientation, gender identity, communication styles, race, ethnicity, country of origin, age, family roles and structure, health, areas of ability, religion and spirituality, culture, trauma, and politics on their daily lives. In doing so, we can offer sanctuary, healing, and hope to those impacted by the effects of prejudice, discrimination, homophobia, careless language, and overarching inequality present in our country today.
