With deep respect, I acknowledge that 337 Main Street, Farmingdale, NY 11735 rests upon Paumanok, also known as Sewanhacky, the ancestral homelands of the Massapequa (Marsapeague) people, and the historically connected lands of the Matinecock and Sacatogue nations, who tended this land with gratitude, reciprocity, and spiritual connection for countless generations.

 

I honor the enduring presence of Indigenous peoples whose wisdom, traditions, and relationship with the Earth continue to inspire a more mindful and compassionate way of living. I recognize the history of colonization that caused profound harm and displacement, and I hold this truth with humility, openness, and a sincere desire to do better.

 

In the spirit of SunWise Counseling, I commit to ongoing learning and support for Indigenous communities and culture, and to honoring the sacredness of the land that holds us all.
