Ubuntu is a Zulu proverb that promotes togetherness and embraces the idea that humans were not meant to do life alone.

“I am because we are”

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!
