Our Commitment to Inclusivity, Equity, and Respect
At Acceptance Nurse Psychotherapy, we are deeply committed to fostering a practice rooted in inclusivity, equity, and respect. We recognize that mental health care is not just about individual well-being—it’s about creating spaces where everyone feels safe, seen, and valued.
Land Acknowledgement
We acknowledge that the land we stand on, from coast to coast to coast, is the ancestral and unceded territory of many First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples. These lands have been stewarded and inhabited by Indigenous peoples from time immemorial.
We recognize the enduring relationship between Indigenous peoples and these lands, and we are committed to deepening our understanding and respect for Indigenous knowledge, cultures, traditions, and present-day struggles. Through ongoing learning and meaningful action, we strive to honour Indigenous voices and contribute to reconciliation in a way that extends beyond words.
Our Commitment to Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
We are dedicated to providing an inclusive, equitable, and affirming space for all individuals seeking mental health care. As a practice led by Nurse Psychotherapists and Nurse Practitioners, we understand that mental health is shaped by systemic inequities, social determinants, and lived experiences.
We actively advocate for marginalized communities — including racialized, Indigenous, LGBTQ+, neurodivergent, and disabled individuals — by addressing barriers to care, challenging stigma, and working toward more equitable healthcare systems. This means:
Upholding anti-oppressive, anti-racist, and anti-discriminatory practices in every aspect of our work.
Creating a safe and affirming space where clients feel respected, valued, and understood.
Providing care that acknowledges the unique lived experiences and systemic challenges our clients face.
Advocating for broader systemic change to make mental health care accessible and equitable for all.
Our commitment extends beyond our therapy rooms. We actively push for policies and practices that amplify the voices of those historically excluded from mental health care. We honour the unique experiences, identities, and strengths that each individual brings, ensuring that our practice is one of respect, dignity, and belonging.
At Acceptance Nurse Psychotherapy, we don’t just talk about inclusion — we live it, advocate for it, and work every day toward a future where mental health care is truly equitable for all.
