Pyramid Builders Associates Inc

Sekou Mims began working with youth human services in 1977 through a variety of community service programs. By 1990, Sekou had seen enough young people's lives turned around through direct service work to feel comfortable about establishing a career in the human services field. However Sekou felt that he could more effectively impact the lives of specific individuals by spending more time in groups designed to provide emotional and psychological assistance. In 1994, Sekou completed his Master of Education in Psychology and Counseling from Cambridge College. Still feeling a need for more specific kinds of clinical knowledge, Sekou enrolled in Simmons School of Social Work, completing his MSW in 1997. From there Sekou began to provide social assessments and counseling consultation services for some of Boston's (Massachusetts, USA) most respected human service organizations e.g. Whittier Street Health Clinic, Roxbury Multi-Service Center and Urban Edge and by 1999, the City of Boston Public Schools. Also in 1999, Sekou began volunteer counseling, workshops and consultation with the Mission Safe program. In 2000, Sekou founded Pyramid Builders Associates Inc. Pyramid Builders Associates is social service consultant agency that consists of several social workers and other mental health professionals. Pyramid Builders Associates Inc. is co-directed by clinical psychologist Dr. Omar Reid.
