About Us
Sankofa Holistic Counseling Services is a culturally grounded mental health practice committed to healing individuals, families, and communities through holistic, trauma-informed, and socially conscious care.

- Early recovery from substance use
- Re-entry following incarceration
- Fatherhood and family reconnection
- Trauma recovery
- Emotional regulation and identity development
- Self-actualization, purpose, and long-term healing
This role is ideal for a clinician who understands the intersection of trauma, systemic oppression, masculinity, grief, addiction, and community healing.

The ideal candidate is able to build authentic therapeutic relationships while maintaining accountability, compassion, structure, and cultural humility.
