Abstract
In this article we explore integrating diversity, equity, inclusivity (DEI), intersectionality, and cultural humility into psychotherapy, guided by the ethical principle of nonmaleficence—the commitment to do no harm. We critique the limitations of traditional Eurocentric psychotherapy and advocate for DEI principles to better address the diverse realities of clients from varied cultural backgrounds. We propose actionable recommendations for psychotherapists to adopt a holistic, inclusive approach, emphasizing valuing each client's unique experiences. This approach is aimed at ensuring that psychotherapy practice is effective, socially just, culturally responsive, and ethically sound, aligning with the Galveston Declaration's values of pluralism, flux, opening space, and responsibility for continued growth in therapeutic practice.
