Our long-standing motto is "principles first." This means that we make every reasonable effort to treat one another, our clients, and the community with respect. We do not presume to be superior to anyone, including our clients. As the saying goes, "There but for the grace of God go I." Though our clients are often initially out of balance, we believe that all are amenable to treatment and capable of achieving a personal, social, and spiritual harmony. Further, we believe that we cannot successfully suggest alternatives to clients and encourage positive choices if we do not take care of ourselves first by acting in an ethical and responsible manner in our dealings with others.
