OUR STORY
Rediscovering Strength Through Understanding
AJT Mental Health Counseling was founded by Assata Thomas, LMHC, whose own lived experience shaped a deep commitment to culturally aware, human-centered care. Assata understands firsthand how hard it can be to find a therapist who truly sees you — and built AJT to be that place.
Assata has built a diverse, multidisciplinary team that equips AJT to navigate the complexities of human distress across different cultures, identities, and lived experiences.
Today, the AJT team supports hundreds of clients from diverse backgrounds, helping them reclaim their lives. We provide therapy in English, Spanish, Haitian Creole, and French, with a culturally responsive approach.
