We Are Sankofa
At Sankofa, we invest in every family’s right to self-determination by offering culturally grounded, community-centered care across the lifespan. We provide affirming mental health counseling for individuals, couples, and families; comprehensive diagnostic autism evaluations; and ABA therapy services that uplift the full humanity of neurodivergent children, teens, and young adults.
We don’t “fix” people — we create spaces where they can unmask, be held, and be seen. We support parents, caregivers, and siblings with advocacy tools, coaching, and connection, knowing that when the whole family is supported, healing becomes possible.
We know it takes a village.
