Umoja’s Vision
A world where everyone is authentic, engaged, and makes empowered choices rooted in passionate purpose.
Umoja works with individuals, groups, agencies, and organizations to inform, educate, and optimally respond to the ever-changing world impacting our community.
Umoja Behavioral Health, PC, is honored to provide mental health with a pioneering spirit and an Afrocentric and feminine-focused approach.
Our journey is not merely about providing healthcare services; it is about crafting a community that celebrates diversity and champions the unique identities and experiences of each individual we have the privilege to serve.
We stand at the confluence of ancient wisdom and contemporary science, integrating the transformative practice of Kemetic Yoga with innovative tools like the Belief Systems Analysis Scale (BSAS) to offer a path to holistic health that honors the ancestral wisdom of African cultures.
Our approach is deeply rooted in the principles of Kemetic Yoga, which offers not just a practice for physical well-being but a profound connection to the spiritual teachings and practices of ancient Egypt.
This connection fosters a harmonious balance between the mind, body, and spirit, contributing to overall mental and emotional health. Our commitment to cultural competence ensures that we recognize and respect the vast tapestry of narratives within the Black, BIPOC, and LGBTQIA+ communities, integrating these diverse experiences into our care models.
Customized care lies at the heart of Umoja Behavioral Health, PC. Through the BSAS, we gain deep insights into the belief systems and cultural identities of those we serve, allowing us to tailor our services to meet individuals exactly where they are.
This nuanced understanding forms the foundation of trust and growth, enabling us to craft care plans that are as unique as the individuals we support.
In addition to our healthcare services, our unwavering commitment to social justice propels us to address and advocate against health disparities and social inequalities. We understand the critical intersection between social justice and the medical milieu, emphasizing the need for systemic change to ensure the dignity and rights of every individual are upheld, particularly those from marginalized communities.
As Umoja Wellness Foundation expands its reach through Umoja Behavioral Health, PC, our vision remains clear: to foster a healing space that not only addresses symptoms but nurtures the whole person within a community that values diversity, practices inclusion, and strives for equity.
