Attuned Therapy operates in Winnipeg, Manitoba and acknowledges this is Treaty One Territory, the ancestral lands of the Anishinaabe, Ininew (Cree), Oji-Cree, Dakota, and Dene Peoples, and the homeland of the Red River Métis. We acknowledge that our water is sourced from Shoal Lake 40 First Nation (Shoal Lake 39 is also impacted) in Treaty Three Territory, and that most of our hydro-electricity comes from Treaty Five Territory in northern Manitoba. We recognize that this land has long been a place of healing, relationship, and resilience, and we honour the ongoing presence and contributions of Indigenous Peoples.
As a therapist, I understand that mental health and wellness are deeply connected to land, culture, and history. I commit to practicing in ways that are informed by the impacts of colonialism and intergenerational trauma, while actively supporting Indigenous self-determination and healing. This includes engaging in ongoing learning, reflecting on my own positionality, and taking concrete actions—such as seeking Indigenous-led education, supporting Indigenous organizations, and advocating for equitable access to mental health care—so that this acknowledgment is lived, not just spoken.
