There is a city in Oklahoma named Anadarko. For reasons that escape me, virtually everyone here pronounces it Ana ndarko.

Also, after reading it again, I think there should be a comma in this sentence after "practice" and the one after "provide" is not needed. I would only put a comma in front of "and" if it were the last item in list of more than 2 items (the types of treatment we provide, second list item, and the populations we serve).
We are uniquely interested in integrating social justice efforts into our practice both in the types of treatment we provide, and the populations we serve.

They're not saying they "tend to provide services," they're saying the populations they provide services to tend to be culturally and socioeconomically diverse. But that's not a given. The provider might specialize in one population, or live/work in an area that doesn't provide much diversity.

Meaning they're technically okay but they interfere with understanding. If you drop them, the meaning doesn't change. I added the green one tho, so... I agree that the ones in red can go, especially the ones before and after "in the United States." They make the sentence look and sound awkward to me.

I'm editing something and this person, I think, adds too many, commas, I'm wondering, do you agree? "evidence-based" should be hyphenated. It already was in the second instance but not the first.
