About our clinic
Our Mission and Action Steps
At The Family Development Center, we are dedicated to providing compassionate mental health care across the lifespan that evolves with the diverse needs of our communities. We recognize that healing is deeply personal and influenced by culture, history, and systemic factors. As an agency, we celebrate our employees' and clients' identities and lived experiences and work towards creating a space where they feel seen, heard, and empowered. Our clinic is committed to decolonizing mental health* education, dismantling barriers to care; promoting accountability and repair; and fostering a more just, inclusive, and equitable system through the following actions.
Action Steps:
● Through our teaching clinic, we recruit, train, and retain therapists of color and culturally responsive white therapists
● We offer flexible payment options, such as: sliding scale fees, payment plans, and the acceptance of medicaid, medicare, and most insurance carriers.
● We prioritize and emphasize our racial equity work through Affinity groups participation;
● Creating equitable policies through our equity and policy committee;
● Continued learning through outside consultants and training to increase and improve our knowledge and awareness of the impact these experiences have on our lives and wellness.
● Participation in the field of perinatal mental health (specialization surrounding parenting, infertility, miscarriage and infant loss) using an anti-racist lens.
*DECOLONIZING MENTAL HEALTH dismantles the racism, colonialism and Euro-centric assumptions, biases, and practices that underscores the mental healthcare industry. It invites us into deeper interrogation surrounding the basic assumptions of mental health care, such as, the DSM-V, theory, and interventions.The Family Development Center is an outpatient mental health clinic and teaching clinic. We are committed to working with clients using a relational, contextual and culturally competent framework. Our specialty is providing therapy to individuals and families that are experiencing difficulties surrounding pregnancy, birth, perinatal mood disorders, infertility, pregnancy loss, infant death and the transition to parenthood. However, we see clients throughout the lifespan that are experiencing a myriad of issues and concerns.
