Why "Tree of Life" Psychology? 

In 2003, Ncazelo Ncube worked with Southern African child survivors of trauma, drawing a Tree as a metaphor to help the children narrate and navigate the impacts of their family history and ancestry, significant events, people, challenges, hopes, and 'fruits' of their hard work (Ncube, 2006). At Tree of Life Psychology, we honor Ncazelo Ncube's vision, innovation, and heart for helping people heal.
