Welcome

Ujima is the Swahili translation for collective work and responsibility,

and that's what you receive at Ujima Psychological Services, serving Manhattan, NY, and the nearby region — you and our mental health providers collaborating to ensure the best treatment outcome.

Offering Multiple Modalities

We have multiple practitioners who offer various therapy options to help you understand how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, along with systems of oppression, contribute to your mental health.

One specific modality we use that falls under this category is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which focuses on reframing your thoughts in a way that disrupts patterns of thinking and behaving that lead to distress. We also offer dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness, psychological evaluations, group therapy, and relationship therapy.

The Conditions We Provide Care For 

When you visit our Manhattan, NY, office for therapy, we're here to help you with all the issues you're having, including (but not limited to): relational issues, academic/professional challenges, grief, anxiety, and depression.

We'd like to mention we understand the delicate struggles of BIPOC and the LGBTQ community and the particular issues associated with these groups, such as:

• Racial trauma, microaggressions, and racism
• Homophobia and transphobia
• Discrimination
• Isolation
• Self-hatred and shame

Providing In-Office and Virtual Care 

Remove the stressors of the commute for an in-office appointment by opting for our virtual care — an appointment you can have from anywhere in New York. Or, if you feel being face-to-face would benefit you more, schedule an in-person visit to our Manhattan office. 

At Ujima Psychological Services, serving Manhattan in-person and New York online, you can receive the care necessary to feel more focused and fulfilled, calmer, and better mentally overall.

About

This principle guides our practice of mental health care, whereby clients and therapists work collaboratively to address goals. Our mission is to provide high-quality psychotherapy to people from communities that are marginalized. Distress caused by one’s identity being disenfranchised does not constitute a psychological disorder; however, therapy can be one of many spaces for healing from marginalization, ultimately reclaiming your power.
