Christiana Awosan
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - Ph.D., LMFT
You don’t want to feel beat down, let down, depressed, overwhelmed, out of control, broken or ashamed. But the daily experience of your life being undervalued by society on top of the difficulties of work, relationships, and personal struggles just seems like too much. You feel like relationships won’t work, it’s impossible to stop circumstances from getting you down, and you can’t win for losing. You doubt who you really are. You question the strength within you, the courage you were born with, and the wisdom from those before you.
Ibisanmi is a Yoruba word that means “being born fits me.” To us, it means, “I am born to be enough, born to be whole, complete and lacking nothing. I am unique and filled with all I need to enjoy and deal with life – its challenges and its blessings.” Ibisanmi Relational Health is here to make sure you see and reclaim this in yourself and others in your life.
Our therapists have extensive training in understanding relationship dynamics, and we specialize in working with individuals, couples, and families. We are committed to providing high-quality, culturally relevant mental health services to Black/African-American people and communities of color. We’ll walk you through the stressors, pain, and difficulties of life, work, and relationships. Together, we’ll create a space of healing where you can learn practical skills to help you deal with life and relationships. We’ll help you reclaim your voice and renew your spirit to build a joyful, fulfilling, and productive life.
