Upholding the highest ethical standards is at the heart of our philosophy. We emphasize the importance of integrity, confidentiality, and respect in all interactions.

Inclusivity and Diversity

We are dedicated to promoting diversity and inclusivity within our college and the broader community. We strive to create a welcoming environment where all individuals feel valued and respected.

Lifelong Learning

We encourage continuous professional development and personal growth. By offering ongoing education and training opportunities, we ensure our practitioners remain at the forefront of the field.

Client-Centered Care

Our approach prioritizes the needs and well-being of clients. We advocate for personalized treatment plans that respect the unique circumstances and goals of each individual.

By embodying these principles, OPCC aims to cultivate a new generation of psychotherapists and counselors who are not only skilled and knowledgeable but also deeply committed to making a positive impact on the lives of those they serve.
