As a compassionate practitioner of healing arts and medicine, Dr. Husman acknowledges the suffering experienced by the ancestral members of these tribes, who were displaced and who lost their lives due to a series of tragic events, including treaties that removed Indigenous peoples from their ancestral lands. She recognizes the inequities that living tribal members face daily, including those she is distantly related to. She is committed to allyship with those with any connection to their tribal heritage. She also pledges to deepen her understanding of the needs of her patients and those she encounters outside of her work at Vitality Psychiatry, P.C.
