Our Philosophy and History

Our corporate history of counseling and psychotherapy extends back to 1970 (this was the year we founded the Journal of Afro-American Issues at the Ohio State University.)  The geographical scope expands to urban and rural areas of the United States over this period of time.  The philosophy of our treatment is a synthesis of multi-cultural, Christian/African Centric (the unique moral beliefs and thinking patterns of Africans of the Diaspora) and solution focused principles.  The client experiences a helping relationship that is characterized by the following core conditions that permeate the healing process:

The Philosophy engendered in the overall approach is based on the delivery of help which is characterized by a private, professional, and caring social reality, rooted in positive forces of African-American culture and ethos.  This approach provides proven needed alternatives to what the present day status quo misdelivers to our children, teens, adults, and families.

Afro-American Counseling & Psychotherapy Institute, Inc. accentuates and emphasizes the inherent strengths of clients, not the mystical deficits which are labeled onto the African-American.  Our Philosophy rejects the deficit position and rebukes the notion of "Blaming The Victims".

At Afro-American Counseling & Psychotherapy Institute, Inc., the Counselor/ Psychotherapist is a product of and continues to be a part of the African-American cultures and communities.  The Afro-centric, Afro-Cognitive approach used at AACPI empowers the client by providing a unique corrective experience that is liberating, relevant, and solution-oriented.  Clients evolve, even after one session, with coping skills and resources to deal with their troubling issues.  

AACPI provides effective and competent afro-cognitive techniques which can effectively facilitate change in the thinking and behaviors of troubled individuals.
