Professionalism: We strive to approach every client and patient with utmost integrity, honesty, and fairness. We maintain professional boundaries while still providing compassionate care, always placing the safety of our patients, their records, and our staff at the forefront of all decisions.

 

Collaboration: We work together as a team, and strongly believe that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. We take an integrative approach to patient care, often with multiple practitioners sharing responsibility, insight, and guidance for a patient or family. We place the needs of the patient ahead of any single practitioner’s ego, to ensure true comprehensive care.

 

Patient-Centered-Medicine: We prioritize the needs of each individual patient when making recommendations about treatment. We believe in the importance of truly listening to our patients and clients to best provide them with a helpful, nurturing, holistic space to heal. We approach medicine as a partnership between patient and care provider, and we believe firmly in meeting the patient where they are and growing together from there.

 

Inclusivity and Compassion: We strive to make Stepping Stone an intentionally welcoming place for all, regardless of gender, race, age, religion, sexual orientation, ethnicity, or politics. We approach our work through the lens of kindness, compassion, love, and respect.

 

Connection: We believe that human connection is central to medicine and healing. We seek to create meaningful relationships between our providers, our staff, and our patients and clients, and to develop the sense of community within our clinic and our wider world.
