Individual Therapy
Culturally grounded, emotionally restorative one‑on‑one care.
Our one‑on‑one therapy sessions are designed to honour and support the lived experiences of Black and racialized individuals. We understand that healing is not just personal — it is political, ancestral, and cultural.
Whether you are navigating trauma, life transitions, identity questions, or everyday stress, we offer a space where your full humanity is seen and respected.
Our therapists build relationships rooted in trust, cultural humility, and compassion. Sessions are flexible and collaborative, drawing from a range of evidence‑based and culturally adaptive modalities, including:
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
- Narrative Therapy
- Somatic and body‑based approaches
We recognize the weight of intergenerational pain and the brilliance of intergenerational strength. Therapy here is not about 'fixing' — it's about reconnecting with the parts of you that already know how to survive, thrive, and lead.
You don't need to explain your existence here. You get to just be.
Family Therapy
Rebuilding bonds, strengthening communication, and creating safety at home.
Family therapy at Sankofa Psychotherapy and Consultancy Group recognizes that healing happens within the context of relationships. We understand that Black, African, and Caribbean families carry unique strengths, ancestral wisdom, and intergenerational patterns — both of resilience and of trauma.
Our approach to family therapy is grounded in Afrocentric principles and culturally responsive frameworks. We honour the role of extended family, community connections, and cultural traditions that have sustained families across generations. We also recognize the impact of systemic racism, migration, displacement, and other structural forces that shape family dynamics.
We support families through:
- Conflict resolution and repair: Creating safe spaces for honest dialogue, healing ruptures, and rebuilding trust within the family unit
- Parent/caregiver guidance: Supporting parents and caregivers in navigating challenges while honouring their cultural values and parenting wisdom
- Intergenerational healing: Addressing patterns of trauma, pain, or disconnection that may have been passed down through generations
- Reunification and crisis support: Assisting families navigating separation, reunification, or crisis situations with cultural sensitivity and trauma-informed care
- Cultural identity and belonging: Exploring how family members navigate identity, belonging, and cultural connection across generations
- Communication and boundaries: Strengthening family communication patterns and establishing healthy boundaries that honour both individual and collective needs
Our family therapists work collaboratively with all family members, recognizing each person's unique experiences and needs. We create spaces where families can reconnect with their strengths, repair relationships, and build new patterns of connection and care.
Family healing is collective healing. We walk alongside your family as you reclaim your bonds, your story, and your strength.
