Our Story

At FIATM Family Services, we believe family is at the heart of every strong community and every strong community starts with people who show up for one another. We are a community centered organization dedicated to the holistic growth and development of youth, families, individuals, and the neighborhoods they call home.

Founded by Yakuba "KB" Brown, FIATM was built on a simple but powerful idea: real change happens when support comes from people who have lived it. Our team combines LMFT, credible messengers with lived experience, licensed clinical oversight and certified practitioners across peer support, mentorship, and social-emotional learning to deliver a truly integrated model of care.

We meet people where they are: in schools, community centers, juvenile halls, athletic programs, and virtual spaces. Whether someone is navigating reentry, working through a life transition, or simply looking for guidance and connection, our approach is rooted in trust, accountability, healing, and long-term personal growth.

Our Values

Confidentiality. Cultural humility. Professionalism. Integrity. Trauma-informed care in everything we do.

We don't just provide services — we build relationships that last.

The Purpose

Our Philosophy

FIATM Counseling & Family Services exists to restore hope, strengthen families, and empower individuals to become resilient thinkers by providing compassionate, trauma-informed support that transforms lives, builds healthy relationships, and creates stronger communities.

At FIATM Family Services , we believe that every person possesses the inherent capacity to heal, grow, and thrive when they are genuinely seen, heard, and equipped with the right tools.

Our philosophy is rooted in the understanding that behavior is often the visible expression of unseen experiences—not a person's identity. By integrating evidence-informed counseling, trauma-informed care, peer support, community health advocacy, mentoring, life coaching, and family-centered interventions, we focus not only on resolving immediate challenges but on developing resilient thinkers, confident leaders, and stronger families. We believe that lasting transformation occurs when clinical knowledge is combined with authentic human connection, accountability, hope, and practical life skills.

Our commitment is to walk alongside every individual and family, empowering them to recognize their strengths, rewrite limiting narratives, restore healthy relationships, and build a future defined by purpose rather than circumstance. This philosophy reflects the heart of FIATM—Family Is All That Matters—where healing extends beyond the individual to strengthen the entire family and community, one life at a time through our enduring commitment to Building Thinkers.

Our Executive Team

We believe every life has immeasurable value and unlimited potential. Our purpose is to ignite hope, inspire critical thinking, strengthen families, and empower every individual to become the author of a healthier, purpose-driven future.
