Welcome!

I’m Rashida Bantu-Foster, a Licensed Professional Counselor and owner of Ubuntu Counseling. With over a decade of experience assisting individual, couples, and families in navigating challenges, enhancing communication, and strengthening relationships. My extensive training in trauma-informed care and spiritual wellness allows me to integrate these approaches effectively, fostering a deeper understanding of self-empowerment that can lead to transformational growth.

My commitment to love and grace embodies my belief that these are essential gifts for anyone seeking genuine transformation in their lives. I truly care for those whose past experiences have overshadowed their inner strength, causing them to feel as if they are merely going through the motions of life. My passion lies in guiding these individuals to develop and enhance their resiliency skills, empowering them to reach new heights and live more authentically and fully.

I work effectively with individuals who...

  • Understand the healing is not linear, it’s a journey not a destination

  • Ready to be an active participant in their healing journey

  • Understand that painful experiences affect the whole person: heart, mind, body, and spirit

  • Open and honest about feelings, thoughts, and experiences

  • Have a faith-based foundation. 

Why Ubuntu Counseling?

Some days, it feels impossible to recognize yourself in the mirror, to quiet the voices of doubt, to break the cycles that haunt you. You don’t have to carry it by yourself. I’m here to help you gain clarity, find balance, and build a life that feels sustainable. With nearly ten years of experience working with youth, families, and couples, I offer a safe, judgment-free space for real conversation and authentic support. You are not alone. Let’s navigate this together!
