About Us
Compassionate Care for Mind and Community
Care Rooted in Compassion, Culture, and True Connection.
Rafiki Wange Mental Health Services Corporation was born from the belief that care should feel like kinship. “Rafiki Wange” meaning “My Friend” in Swahili and Luganda, is a mental health practice rooted in compassion, cultural awareness, and connection. Rafiki Wange provides accessible online psychotherapy services tailored to meet each client where they are. The name reflects my approach: therapy here isn’t just a service-it’s a relationship. With warmth, cultural sensitivity, and respect, I accompany you on your journey to healing. I believe care should feel personal, not clinical; empowering, not intimidating. Whether you're seeking care for yourself, a loved one, or looking to empower your community, I am here to walk alongside you, and I’d be honored to connect. Let’s take the next step together.
