Togor Gado

MSW, LCSWA

Togor believes that healing is not just an individual process but a communal and ecological one. Their undergraduate studies in biochemistry provided a foundation in understanding the body’s complexity, which later evolved into a fascination with how our brains and minds are shaped by the relationships we have with others—ultimately leading them to obtain an MSW from Winthrop University.

Their clinical approach is trauma-informed, blending person-centered care with community advocacy. They take an integrative and culturally responsive approach, drawing from a range of strength-based modalities, while incorporating mindfulness and the wisdom of nature to honor each person’s unique lived experiences and support them in building mind- and heart-centered coping strategies.

As a first-generation Nigerian-American, Togor is deeply committed to the power of storytelling, community, and healing justice. Their work is rooted in Ecowomanist principles, which honor the ways women and queer folk of the African diaspora connect care for the Earth with care for their communities and themselves—drawing from cultural heritage, lived experiences, and spiritual traditions. This framework emphasizes the interconnectedness of spirituality, ecology, and social transformation. Grounded in the understanding that mental health is inseparable from social, biological, and environmental factors, they strive to bridge gaps in care, amplify marginalized voices, and nurture resilience through tenderness in a world that often demands otherwise.
