Ubuntu Therapy
Providing remote psychotherapy and mental health consultations to expats living and working abroad.
Hello, my name is TaShawndra Govan and I am a LMHC (licensed mental health counselor) having graduated from Georgia State University in 2013. I have lived overseas for the last 10 years and have extensive experience working with expats who are living and working in different countries. I have also worked with clients who are local in their respective countries who were not able to find local mental health professionals.
I am a culturally competent and trauma-informed mental health provider and advocate. I believe that cultural competency is central to helping individuals and families of color feel safe; providing space where concerns are not downplayed and symptoms are not misinterpreted.
I am a good fit for people who struggle with unhealthy parent-child relationships often stemming from a history of substance use, domestic violence, abandonment, neglect, grief/loss and other disruptive family patterns and behaviors.
I understand it takes courage to seek treatment and disclose uncomfortable situations with someone. Therefore, I applaud you on this start of your journey towards wellness.

QUESTIONS
How do I use my out-of-network insurance benefits?
Your out-of-network benefits will vary depending on your insurance provider and specific plan. If you choose to use your out-of-network benefits, you must pay out of pocket. I will provide you with a monthly super bill (medical receipt) to submit to your insurance for reimbursement. . Call your insurance provider and ask “What are my out-of network mental health benefits for outpatient care?
How often will we meet?
Typically clients start with weekly sessions and after some progress decrease to bi-weekly and then monthly. Each client is different and it’s something we will discuss and collaborate on.
How do I prepare for our video session?
For your confidentiality, be in a private location, where background noise is limited.
How long are sessions?
Typically 50 minutes, 30 minutes for clients 10 and under*
Who do you serve?
Clients (11+) located on the African continent take priority but I work with anyone needing support who doesn’t have access to it in their country. Must be English-speaking. Children (under 10) can be seen in case by case situations, usually with online sessions, it is difficult to keep a child's attention.
What is your cancellation policy?
24 hour notice is required for all cancellations and reschedules. Late notice cancellations and reschedules or no-shows will result in the full session fee.
How long will counseling last?
This is completely dependent upon the case and the client's needs.
