Statement on the Philosophical Foundation of Psychology
We practice psychology as a relational act; seeking to make meaning as we embrace desire, grief, suffering, reconciliation, gratitude and hope. Psychology invites us to the intimate and vulnerable confession that we long to love and be loved as we bear witness to the lives of others.
