Celebrating Diversity:

The Pine Center centers the insight, strength, love, and experiences of women, 2SLGBTQIA+, gender-diverse, black, brown, and indigenous individuals, as well as individuals who have experienced housing insecurity and intimate partner violence. 

​

The Pine Center celebrates diversity including all body sizes, abilities, races, sexualities, genders, religions and political values.

​

Mutual Aid: 

The Pine Center believes in caring for one another and that includes at a community level. The Pine Center is working to establish a voluntary mutual aid Community Care Fund that allows community members to partially subsidize or fully cover sessions for others. 

​

Accessible Care: 
The Pine Center believes that a person’s income should not determine whether you can access mental health care. The Pine Center is organized around the premise that all individuals are inherently worthy of the experience of being seen and honored.

 

A certain percentage of The Pine Center's caseload will be allocated to sliding scale or pro bono clients, offered on a first-come, first-served basis. When these offerings are full, clients in need of these services may be referred to other low-cost counseling services or be offered a wait-list option.

 

This makes counseling possible for clients who may not otherwise have means to access counseling services while allowing the costs of the practice to still be maintained. As The Pine Center grows, the intention is to continue to expand these services. 

​

Barriers to care can often include access to transportation, fuel, and time away from work. The Pine Center will always offer telehealth services as a means of increasing access to services and decreasing barriers. 

​

Vision: 

The vision for The Pine Center is to continue growing and offering a variety of trauma treatments and other specializations to better meet the unique needs of clients in North Carolina. The Pine Center hopes to cultivate an out-of-the-ordinary wellness experience for both clients and clinicians. The Pine Center hopes to become a resource for accessible and mutual aid funded therapy in the Charlotte area.
