Description
In this episode of Convos from the Couch, we explore how Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) shape a thriving workplace culture at LifeStance with guests KeYunna Taylor, Stephanie Winfree and Stacey Aiton.
KeYunna Taylor, National Credentialing Coordinator and Director of the DEIB Committee, shares how DEIB initiatives help build psychological safety and strengthen employee engagement. Licensed professional counselor Stephanie Winfree emphasizes the importance of cultural competence in fostering meaningful connections with clients and improving treatment outcomes. Stacy Aiton, also a licensed professional counselor and Midwest Regional DEIB Chair, highlights how diverse teams lead to more creative solutions and stronger decision-making.
