Imani Center

At the Imani Center, healing is more than an individual journey—it’s a communal experience. We are a culturally specific behavioral health program designed by and for Black and African American people, offering a space where you are seen, valued, and understood. Since our founding in 2015 by the fearless Ms. Linda Hudson, we have stood on the shoulders of giants—our ancestors, elders, and community leaders—who paved the way for Black healing, strength, and resilience.

Our Afrocentric, whole-person approach ensures that you receive mental health and addiction treatment in a way that honors your identity and lived experience. We offer wraparound support, including peer mentorship, case management, resource connections, and referrals to housing, primary care, and other essential services—because healing isn’t just about treatment, it’s about stability, opportunity, and community care.

More than a program, Imani Center is a movement—a space where Black healing and liberation are at the core of everything we do. 

Program Information

A Healing Community, Guided by Peers

At Imani, you are surrounded by staff who come from the community—people who understand both the challenges you face and the strength within you. Through group counseling, storytelling, and shared wisdom, we uplift one another and reclaim our wellness—together. You’ll also be matched with a peer support specialist who shares your lived experience, offering guidance not just in recovery, but in navigating systems that weren’t built for us. 

Connections to Housing 

While the Imani Center isn’t a housing program, we can provide referrals to safe and appropriate housing for clients who are engaged in our program.
