Who We Are

Our Mission

Welcome to Under the Broom Tree, LLC, where we provide compassionate outpatient therapy and spiritual life coaching tailored to honor your cultural identity and spiritual beliefs. Our practice emphasizes a collaborative approach, integrating culturally responsive, trauma-informed care with evidence-based methods to support your journey toward emotional and spiritual well-being.

Our Vision at Under the Broom Tree, LLC

Our vision is to cultivate a healing space where cultural identity, faith, and mental health are honored as interconnected strengths. We envision a community in which individuals—particularly those historically underserved—experience therapy as affirming, transformative, and spiritually grounded.

Under the Broom Tree, LLC aspires to be a trusted refuge where evidence-based clinical practice and spiritual wisdom converge, empowering clients to reclaim their narratives, strengthen emotional resilience, and walk confidently in purpose, wholeness, and liberation.

A Sacred Space for Healing & Growth

Healing rarely unfolds in a straight line. Whether through outpatient mental health therapy or spiritual life coaching, the process is intentional, collaborative, and grounded in psychological safety, cultural humility, and trauma-informed care.

We serve individuals and families seeking a holistic approach to navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, relational stressors, and spiritual concerns. Together, we clarify meaningful goals—strengthening coping skills, building resilience, processing trauma, deepening spiritual insight, and aligning your life with your values and purpose.

Our commitment is to provide a supportive, culturally responsive space where your identity, faith, and lived experience are honored, and where you feel fully seen, respected, and empowered to move forward with clarity and confidence.

Clients often come with goals such as:

• Developing practical coping skills and strategies for emotional regulation
• Processing and healing from past trauma or adverse life experiences
• Strengthening resilience, self-esteem, and self-efficacy
• Improving communication and relationships within family, community, or faith-based settings
• Addressing unhelpful thought patterns or behaviors through evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, or EMDR
• Integrating their faith and spirituality into their healing process in meaningful ways
• Achieving a sense of psychological and spiritual balance and well-being
