Welcome! Sankofa Counseling is a private counseling and community education practice ran by Licensed Professional Counselor, Vanessa Washington. We are located in Downtown Portland near Pioneer Square. At Sankofa, we believe that change and growth can be both individual and communal based. We provide
counseling services for individuals and
therapeutic coaching for families. Community wise, we offer
educational workshops and professional training's around Trauma Informed Systems of Care.
Seeking counseling services is an important decision and finding the right counselor can be a challenging process. Often when considering counseling, people are looking for a therapist who has training, experience, and an approach that offers hope and the possibility of change, resolution, and growth. At Sankofa we offer a
free initial telephone consultation with potential clients to discuss the nature of current concerns, what you are looking for in counseling, and to describe our process for working with clients. We have found that this helps your decision around whether we are right for you.
We invite you to explore our website, where you will find information around who we are and what we do; we welcome the opportunity to talk with you about your interest in counseling, professional trainings, and how our services may meet your needs.
