About The Osiris Group

The Osiris Group and the Osiris Family Institute exist to strengthen the Black family and resurrect the Black community through culturally competent, Afro-centric mental health care. We believe that cultural competence — truly understanding the perspectives, values, and lived experiences of Black and Latino communities — is the foundation of effective clinical work.

Our practitioners are dedicated to helping individuals and families live in the present, without allowing past hardships to become permanent barriers to mental wellness and growth. We do this by destigmatizing mental illness and delivering evidence-based therapies within a framework that honors culture, identity, and community.

Our culture is built on creativity, integrity, growth, and teamwork. If you are passionate about using your clinical expertise to help families navigate their toughest challenges and are committed to providing care that is both clinically excellent and deeply culturally informed, we want to hear from you.
