In light of the current political climate in America and its global impact, I am issuing a formal statement on behalf of myself, my practices NeuroJess and Neurolicity, and my colleagues at these practices.
Our foremost priority is ensuring the safety and well-being of our clients and team members.
We have always, and will continue to, reject discriminatory beliefs and worldviews that cause harm to marginalized identities. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy for anyone who perpetuates hate speech in their work with us.
We uphold the utmost respect and professionalism for our clients’ diverse political affiliations, cultural identities, and religious beliefs. In return, we expect to receive the same level of respect that we extend.
As staunch advocates for social justice, we are unwavering in our commitment to protecting and upholding the rights of our clients and all human beings. We do not subscribe to the ideology of “staying silent” to placate those with bigoted beliefs.
We acknowledge that our practice policies may not align with everyone's beliefs, thus we encourage such individuals to seek services at institutions that better suit their needs.
Our practices and team members will remain a sanctuary during these challenging times, and we vow to stand in solidarity with you in the fight against oppression.
Sincerely,
Jess Pliszka, LPC, NCC, ASD-CCSP, ADHD-CCSP
President of NeuroJess & Neurolicity
