Our Story

Roots & Refuge Center: A Place to Heal

Roots & Refuge Center was created by Angelique Umutesi, LCSW, a refugee and therapist, to help people heal in a safe and caring space.

Angelique’s life experience showed her that many people, especially refugees and immigrants, need support that understands their culture and struggles.
At Roots & Refuge, we offer therapy, spiritual care, and community support, all with kindness and respect.

We believe everyone’s healing journey is unique, and we are here to walk with you.
