Nalwangas approach to the therapeutic relationship is rooted in ethnocultural understanding and empathy. Keenly aware of an emerging pattern of sentiment in her own practice, Nalwanga founded Karibu Mental Health Network in an effort to meet the increasing need for readily available, accessible and relatable therapists who are dedicated to serving diasporic communities. As a therapist, Nalwanga grounds herself firmly in the philosophical framework of Ubuntu and remains steadfast in her commitment to facilitate authenticity whilst remaining dedicated to helping people make sense of the challenges they face.

I work from an integrative (e.g., psycho-dynamic, emotion-focused, cognitive-behavioural) perspective that is trauma-informed. I always cater therapy to whomever I am working with in order ensure that we are working towards the goals you would like to achieve. The therapeutic relationship is important to me. I strive to create an environment that is warm, open, and non-judgmental. I am open and accepting to any and all of your identities, whether that be religion, race, sexuality, beliefs or even if you have a lifestyle that is different.
