Supporting change, unlocking potential, and embracing transformation!
Ubuntu is a Zulu proverb that promotes togetherness and embraces the idea that humans were not meant to do life alone.

Meet the Founder of Ubuntu Counseling
I’m Rashida Bantu-Foster, a Licensed Professional Counselor and the heart behind Ubuntu Counseling. With over a decade of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families, I’ve dedicated my career to helping people navigate life’s challenges, improve communication, and build stronger, more connected relationships.
My approach is rooted in trauma-informed care and spiritual wellness—guiding you not just to cope, but to heal and grow. I believe in the power of self-awareness and self-compassion as keys to lasting transformation. Together, we’ll explore the patterns that keep you stuck and uncover the strengths within you that may have been buried by past pain.
At the core of my work is a deep commitment to love and grace. I see these not just as ideals, but as essential tools for healing. I care deeply for those who feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or as though they’re simply surviving. My mission is to help you reclaim your inner strength, build resilience, and move forward with purpose and authenticity.
You deserve to feel whole. You deserve to thrive. Let’s walk this path together
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?
You Don’t Have to Carry This Alone
Life isn’t supposed to feel like a constant uphill battle—but for many, it does.
Maybe you’ve been surviving since childhood, trying to create a better life while still feeling the weight of your past. Some days, you look in the mirror and barely recognize who’s looking back. The self-doubt, the emotional exhaustion, the pressure to hold everything together—it’s all too much.
And when you’re raising children of your own, the weight doubles. Triggers from your past collide with the demands of the present. You’re doing your best to be strong for your family, but inside, you’re struggling to stay afloat.
You don’t have to go through this alone.
Therapy can be the space where things begin to shift—where you feel seen, heard, and supported without judgment. I bring nearly 10 years of experience working with youth, families, and couples, and I’m here to help you make sense of your emotions, reconnect with yourself, and move forward with clarity and confidence.
This is your time.
To break generational cycles. To heal what’s been hurting. To rediscover your strength and build a future that feels authentic and whole.
