COLLECTIVE MISSION

Making access to affirming mental health support more equitable.

Irvington Counseling Collective (ICC) is a nonprofit, income-based sliding-scale therapy practice in Indianapolis, Indiana. Our mission is to support community members in living rich, full, and meaningful lives—guided by what they value most—regardless of socioeconomic background.

We practice cultural humility, striving to create brave spaces that warmly welcome LGBTQIA+ individuals, BIPOC communities, and diverse expressions of love and identity. We function as a collective of therapists dedicated to mutual support, our shared mission, and the well-being of our clients and community.

COLLECTIVE FRAMEWORK

As a collective model, we agree to abide by the DBT Consultation Agreements as our framework for communication and engagement among ourselves, our broader community and with those we serve: 

1. Dialectical Agreement: We agree to accept a dialectical philosophy: There is no absolute truth. When caught between two conflicting opinions, we agree to look for the truth in both positions and to search for a synthesis by asking such questions as, “What is being left out?” 

2. Consultation to the Client Agreement: We agree that the primary goal of this collective is to improve our own skills as therapists and people, and not serve as a go-between for clients. We agree to not treat clients or each other as fragile. We agree to treat other group members with the belief that others can speak on their own behalf. 

3. Consistency Agreement: Because change is a natural life occurrence, we agree to accept diversity and change as they naturally come about. This means that we do not have to agree with each others’ positions about how to respond to specific clients nor do we have to tailor our own behavior to be consistent with everyone else's. 

4. Observing Limits Agreement: We agree to observe our own limits. As therapists and group members, we agree to not judge or criticize other members for having different limits from our own (e.g., too broad, too narrow, “just right”). 

5. Non-Phenomenological Empathy Agreement: All things being equal, we agree to search for non-pejorative or phenomenologically empathic interpretations of our clients', our own, and other members’ behavior. We agree to assume we and our clients are trying our best, and want to improve. We agree to strive to see the world through our clients' eyes and through one another's eyes. We agree to practice a non-judgmental stance with our clients and one another. 

6. Fallibility Agreement: We agree ahead of time that we are each fallible and make mistakes. We agree that we have probably either done whatever problematic things we’re being accused of, or some part of it, so that we can let go of assuming a defensive stance to prove our virtue or competence. Because we are fallible, it is agreed that we will inevitably violate all of these agreements, and when this is done, we will rely on each other to point out the polarity and move to a synthesis. 

7. Stretch Limits.
