About Us

AUTHENTIC PEACE WELLNESS CENTER, ESTABLISHED IN 2022 WITH A HEARTFELT DESIRE TO OFFER WELLNESS SERVICES TAILORED TO THE UNIQUE EXPERIENCES OF AFRICAN AMERICAN'S OF ALL AGES.

Iyabo Adediran, LPCC, LMFT

Our Founder and President is a native of Oakland, CA. As an African American woman who grew up in the inner city, she experienced limited access to resources available to African Americans. However, the outpouring of love and encouragement received from the community was invaluable. In the years following, Authentic Peace was born due to a disparity between the quality of services and community support.
