Philosophy of Care
Dr. Creighton is committed to providing equitable and excellent health care to each individual. For neuropsychological evaluations, she works to conduct an unbiased and accurate assessment of each patient’s cognitive abilities. In assessment and treatment, she strives to create an environment of openness, trust, and safety where clients can freely discuss their attitudes, feelings, beliefs, and values. Dr. Creighton understands that not all individuals receive the same opportunity and access to quality health care. Pervasive and institutionalized inequities and disparities exist based on many factors, including race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, religious beliefs, and disability status. She strives to respect the dignity and worth of each of her patients; she aims to truly listen to her patients and understand their experience.
