Workplace Values that Matter: Inside our Practice's Culture


How we consistently live our values and why it matters for you

At Interna Mental Health and Wellness, we live by our values, and they’re not just for show—they’re here to make your therapy experience the best it can be and take care of our therapists within a collective atmosphere. We’ve built our practice around things that matter, and we’re all about creating a space where you feel seen, supported, and empowered. Here’s how our values work behind the scenes to help you get the most out of therapy.


1. Balance: So You Get a Therapist Who’s Fully There for You

You know how important it is to have someone who’s not totally burned out? We do too. That’s why we make sure our therapists are well-rested and taken care of. We give them autonomy to work when they choose, growth opportunities and interaction with the coolest team that we created. When they’re with you, they’re really with you. Plus, we know your life is busy too, so we’ve got flexible scheduling to make it easier to fit therapy into your world.


2. Therapists Who’ve Been Where You Are

One of the coolest things about Interna? A lot of our therapists have been through the same stuff you’re dealing with. Whether it’s struggles with identity, culture, or trauma, we get it because we’ve been there. When your therapist has a shared experience, it adds a whole new level of understanding to the conversation. It’s not just “therapy talk”—it’s real, grounded, and personal.


3. Inclusive Care That Sees All of You

If you’ve ever felt like therapy wasn’t built with you in mind, we’ve got you covered. At Interna, we specialize in working with people who’ve felt overlooked or misunderstood in traditional spaces. We’re all about creating a space where your unique experiences—whether it’s around race, gender, culture, or identity—are recognized and respected. Therapy should fit you, not the other way around.


4. Collaboration: You’re in the Driver’s Seat

At Interna, therapy isn’t something that’s done to you—it’s something we do together. You’re in the driver’s seat, and we’re here to support, guide, and help you steer. And behind the scenes, our team is always bouncing ideas off each other, learning, and evolving to bring you the best care possible. Basically, you’re getting the benefit of a whole team of brains working to find the best way to support you.


5. Social Justice: We See the Bigger Picture

Your personal struggles aren’t happening in a vacuum. We get that there are systemic issues at play—whether it’s unfair workplaces or larger societal pressures. That’s why we bring a social justice lens to the work we do. We’re here to help you tackle those external challenges as well as the internal ones. You’re not just dealing with you; you’re also navigating a world that can be pretty unfair. We’ve got your back on both fronts.


6. Innovative Therapies That Meet You Where You’re At

Let’s be real: traditional therapy isn’t for everyone. That’s why we’re big on offering more than just the typical talk-therapy route. From virtual reality therapy to body-based approaches, we’ve got options that fit your style and needs. We’re all about exploring new ways to help you heal and grow because you deserve care that’s as unique as you are.


7. You’re Part of Our Community (And We’re Part of Yours)

When you come to Interna, you’re part of our community. We’re out there in the outside world too, partnering with local organizations, hosting workshops, and showing up at community events. We’re committed to creating spaces for healing both inside and outside the therapy room. 


So, Why Does All This Matter for You?

At the end of the day, our values are all about making sure you feel seen, and supported. We’ve built our practice to give you the best, most personalized experience possible. Choosing Interna means choosing a team that lives in our values and a team that constantly learns and grows. We’re ready to support you in whatever way you need.
