Our Counseling Approach and Modalities

At Sankofa, we use evidence-based and culturally responsive therapeutic approaches tailored to your needs:

1. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

ACT helps you build psychological flexibility by accepting difficult emotions and taking action aligned with your values.

2. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT focuses on identifying and challenging unhelpful thoughts and patterns to create healthier emotional responses and behaviors.

3. Narrative Therapy

This approach centers your lived experience, reframes dominant narratives, and supports you in reclaiming your identity and personal power.

4. Eclectic Therapy

We draw from a range of therapeutic techniques to create a personalized approach that addresses your unique goals and challenges.

5. Strengths-Based Perspective

We emphasize your resilience and highlight your existing strengths, empowering you to navigate your healing journey with confidence.

6. Culturally Responsive Therapy

We acknowledge the impact of race, culture, and systemic oppression on mental health and incorporate this understanding into every session, creating a safe space for you to process and heal.
