About us
Roho, Amani, Nia, LLC
At Roho, Amani, Nia, we believe that healing is not limited to the mind—it is experienced through the body, nurtured through connection, and grounded in purpose.
Our name, derived from Kiswahili—Roho (Spirit), Amani (Peace), and Nia (Purpose)—reflects our commitment to supporting individuals in living more aligned, balanced, and intentional lives. We offer a holistic approach to mental health that integrates traditional psychotherapy with somatic movement, allowing clients to explore, process, and release what is held within the body.
Through the use of evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), combined with therapeutic dance and expressive arts, we create a space where healing becomes both felt and understood.
We serve individuals, couples, and groups, providing experiences that are not only therapeutic, but also empowering, engaging, and deeply transformative.
Rooted in both clinical expertise and culturally grounded practices, Roho, Amani, Nia honors the long-standing tradition of movement, rhythm, and community as tools for healing—while offering innovative approaches that meet the needs of today.
✨ Our Approach
We recognize that:
- The body holds experiences, including stress, trauma, and emotion
- Healing requires both awareness and expression
- Movement can access what words cannot
Our work is designed to help clients:
- reconnect with their bodies
- regulate their nervous systems
- gain insight into their experiences
- and move toward lasting change
