About Us

𖥸 Acknowledgement

We acknowledge that healing happens in a context. Your own personal context, and the context of both trauma histories and healing traditions throughout all generations.

We love constantly learning, and the contexts we currently believe we understand are continually deepening and expanding. It’s very important to us to humbly and gratefully acknowledge that all the healing modalities we’ve learned have taken (sometimes borrowed, often stolen) from so many indigenous cultures, wisdoms, histories, and spiritualities throughout the entire world.

It’s also important to us to acknowledge how harmful mental health care structures and procedures have been and continue to be for many, particularly the more marginalized an individual is, even in the current rules and conventions of our own profession in which we operate.

We view the work we do together as sacred. In sharing your story and experiences with us, you are allowing us onto sacred ground; your sacred space matters, we revere it, and we feel honored to work with you.

We have sought to create a nurturing and supportive environment to hold space for this work. In doing so, we acknowledge that the space we have cultivated here inhabits a commercial office building cut into the beautiful stolen hills and valleys of Yuchi/Cherokee/Shawnee territory (you can read a well-documented history of Middle Tennessee land in Public Library Association’s 2020 conference land acknowledgement).
