Welcome to Ujima Life Services! 

 Our symbol - Mmere Dane, translates as 'time changes. ' It represents the temporariness of any particular state of affairs and the transient nature of luck or fortune. The symbol reflects the transitory nature of all things and implores that one be humble at all times. https://symbolikon.com/downloa...  

 Our philosophy - if we change ourselves for the better, we change our communities for the better. We support you by providing holistic, integrative mental health counseling and life coaching. We recognize the need for self-care and care for those close to us and the larger community.

We are dedicated to providing mental health services and support to our community with empathy and compassion. 

Cynthia Byron-Williford, LPC, NBCC, CIMHP

  I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, National Board Certified Counselor in Pennsylvania, and Certified Integrative Mental Health Professional.  I have been a therapist for over ten years and have worked with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, and difficulties with handling life’s stressors. Seeking therapy is a great way to start on the path to living the life you want to live, and I am happy to be with you on this journey. 

Life has so many options that it can be stressful to choose a direction.  I am here to help you discover more about your values, skills, and strengths and how they can help you confidently make choices for your future. I use several therapeutic approaches in my work, including teaching mindfulness skills, using DBT  and ACT-informed therapy, and, most of all, listening.  We can communicate through live video sessions, chats, and messaging. My goal as a therapist is to be your partner in your journey to the life you want to live. I can provide insights and interventions and teach you skills to help you to manage life. And I am honored to walk beside you on this journey.
I look forward to getting to know you and learning more about why you are seeking therapy now.
