WSU Psychology Clinic Diversity Statement

The students, faculty, and staff of Washington State University Psychology Clinic are committed to the continued development of awareness and appreciation for individual differences within our community. We value diversity among our students, faculty, and clients.

It is our intention that the Psychology Clinic be an emotionally safe and respectful environment for all community members. The Psychology Clinic honors diversity and adheres to the highest ethical standards for practicing multicultural competence.

To this end, we strive to provide quality services that are sensitive to client diversity of all kinds. Age, gender, race, ethnicity, nationality, socioeconomic background, ability, religious affiliation, sexual orientation, and other defining/minority statuses are respected and incorporated into treatment in accordance to each client’s personal preferences and needs.
