Krystal Psychology acknowledges that our clinic and practice are situated on Treaty 8 territory, the ancestral, traditional, and present-day lands of many diverse First Nations, Metis, and Inuit peoples. We are grateful to work, live and practice psychology on the traditional territory of the Dene, Cree, and Metis nations, the original caretakers of this land. We make this acknowledgement as an act of reconciliation and gratitude to those whose territory we reside in and on which we practice. We aim to continue our active practice of decolonizing, unlearning, and learning in the practice of psychology to support reconciliation.
