Our Values

The Center for Establishing Recovery aims to bring effective trauma therapies to the people who need it the most.

All of the work we do at CER is grounded in the following values:

Boundaries: We understand the enhancing nature of healthy boundaries between ourselves and other people or places. We know that boundaries make healthy relationships possible and encourage an environment where they are discussed and respected. We follow ethical standards, including best practices for boundaries within the counseling relationship, to ensure the helpfulness of our services.

Compassion: We put empathy and compassion, both for ourselves and others, at the center of everything we do. We appreciate how compassion can be a catalyst for personal growth and prioritize it over being right.

Community: We understand that, as human beings, we are inextricably linked to the world around us and that our community has a huge impact on our mental health. We work to build community both inside and outside of our practice to help the people we serve.

Competency: We take our role as helper seriously and work hard to be informed and effective. Our number one priority is helping our clients experience personal growth and we eliminate distractions from that through our efficiency as counselors and stewards of a limited license company.

Diversity: We believe in the enhancing nature of diverse environments and the change and growth that can be experienced through interacting with diverse people. We welcome people of all ages, races, sexual orientations, backgrounds, income levels, abilities, or genders.

We work to provide a staff that is diverse and representative of the people we serve and to build a place where difference is recognized and appreciated but not ranked or judged. We also work to peel back the layers of systemic oppression and how it impacts our patients and their lives.

Fairness: The world might not be fair but at CER we work to build an environment of fairness both in our interactions with patients and our interactions with each other and the outside world. We believe in the therapeutic value of building environments that do not replicate societal oppression.

Growth: We do not aim for perfection, which we know is impossible and damaging, but instead we aim to always be growing and improving. We welcome feedback and use it as a tool for enhancing ourselves personally and professionally. We hope that this attitude of growth will inspire our patients to work for growth in their own lives.

Love: We believe in the healing properties of platonic love that is not oppressive or controlling. We believe that love can uplift us as individuals and communities. We believe that love is an action word and will work to be loving with our patients, each other, and the outside world in all of our interactions. We believe that love, especially when we’re being unloveable, is one of the greatest (and most healing) gifts a person can receive.

Responsibility: We believe that true freedom is grounded in responsibility and we take our responsibilities to our patients and the community very seriously. We will be responsible for providing socially conscious, science-backed, trauma-informed, and relationship-based therapeutic services to members of Southeast Michigan in a way that aligns with our values.

Service: We believe that service to others is more than a business, it is a calling. We will work to serve our patients in ways that enhance their lives and their mental health. We will also work to be of service to those in the greater community through supervision, consultation, training, or education.
