“Dedicated to facilitating restoration through psychotherapy”
Dr. Michelle Karume is a Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT) clinician and professor, with specializations in Medical family therapy (MedFT), Program development and Evaluation. She is an author and a Leader in Systemic Family Therapy in Africa.
Her core values are health and spirituality which both lend themselves to her philosophy that health is not the absence of disease but rather the inclusion of biological, psychological, and spiritual wellbeing. The Biopsychosocialspiritual framework is at the cornerstone of all her clinical and research work.
Health is not the absence of disease — it is the inclusion of biological, psychological, and spiritual wellbeing.
Developing MFT programs in Kenya and The Systemic Family Therapy Association-Kenya, where she serves as Board Advisor. Her current research focuses on "Collaborative Stress" — a stress management model she coined in response to the burden many are grappling with today.
Over ten years in a solo private practice. Sessions encompass individual, couples, children, group, and family therapy. She also runs the annual Recro Grief Camp for grieving children.
Facilitating mental health discussions and delivering trainings for corporate organisations across Kenya.
Teaching at Undergraduate, Masters, and Doctorate level — shaping the next generation of systemic therapists.
Connecting complex theoretical practices and bringing them to your family living room as a way of healing and enhancing family cohesion.
As a student of life Dr. Karume continues to immerse herself in knowledge; whereby her classroom is beyond the four walls of her clinical and research practices.
Marriage and Family Therapy views people through the lens of their relationships — understanding that healing happens in connection, not in isolation.
Systems framework is a hallmark way that MFTs work with clients; which sets them apart from other clinical disciplines. The systemic lens is one where the client is viewed from the perspective of their relationships.
Vision
To become Africa's trusted health company
Mission
To systemically restore families
From individual therapy to grief camp and corporate wellbeing — care shaped by systemic family therapy.
Individual Therapy
Individual therapy is a confidential, judgement-free space to slow down and make sense of what you're carrying. Our therapists use evidence-based approaches — adapted to your therapy goals.
Family Therapy
Family therapy looks at the whole system. We help each person feel heard while creating language and structure for the family to function with more warmth, clarity, and safety — especially during difficult seasons.
Couples Therapy
We work with couples to slow down reactive cycles, rebuild trust, and reconnect. Sessions are emotionally focused, non-blaming, and culturally attuned to relationships in Kenya today.
Group Therapy
Group therapy reminds us we are not alone. Each session runs for 2 hours at KES 12,000, with 8–10 people. The number of sessions varies based on the topic.
Grief Camp
Our flagship Grief Camp is a child-safe, family-friendly programme that gives young people language, ritual, and community around loss. Designed and led by licensed clinicians, with care taken for every age, faith background, and family situation.
Corporate Speaking & Workshops
We partner with organisations who take the mental health of their people seriously. Engagements range from a 60-minute keynote to a multi-session wellness programme, always grounded in clinical insight and delivered with our missions and vision in mind.
Consortium
A collaborative network of mental health professionals and organizations advancing behavioral health services across Kenya. Membership is KES 2,000 per month per person.
Supervision
We provide supervision on both levels: Individual and Group. Whether you are a novice therapist or a seasoned one and need Supervision, kindly contact us to schedule your sessions.
