My name is Dr. Olushola Bakare, and I'm a board-certified Psychotherapist. I attended St Joseph College. I'm happy to help you today with any of your concerns. I enjoy empowering people and digging out their strengths. I don't ask fish to fly, neither do I ask birds to swim. I respect everyone's strengths and help my client recognize them. I love to highlight my client's strengths. I offer a safe, warm, therapeutic, judgment-free space for Adults (18+) and Older Adults (65+). I am sorry, but I do not accept clients who pay in cash. Also, every late cancellation or no-show accrues a late charge fee. It is my ethical duty to officially terminate our therapeutic relationship when it is reasonably clear that the client is no longer beneficent, services are no longer required, counseling no longer serves the client's needs and interests, or Dr. Olushola Bakare, LMFT limits do not allow the provision of further counseling services. It is the policy of Dr. Olushola Bakare, LMFT, that our professional relationship will be terminated after a one-month consistent lapse of meeting with a client. Dr. Olushola Bakare, LMFT, will attempt to notify you of this change in status as soon as possible after one month. My ethical duty is identifying, being available, and caring for current clients. It could feel awkward for our relationship to end, yet it is not meant to be discourteous in any way. I do not complete disability forms (Social Security, work excuse, FMLA, Court papers/legal papers, emotional support letters, etc). NO COUPLE THERAPY OR MEDICATION MANAGEMENT, PLEASE!
In our first session together, we will start with brief introductions and then dive into the reason why an appointment is made. This will help us to collaboratively create a treatment plan homework is assigned and we round up with questions and answers and follow-up appointment will be made.
Shifting our mindset and rewriting our script are my passions.
I work with any client who is willing to make a change in any sphere of their life, career, marriage, and relationship. My client wants to make the change, "tired of being tried," but some of my clients do not have the tools or have tools but feel stuck. They feel stuck, overwhelmed, tired, anxious, and depressed. We will work together to get to our goals.

Sadly, the call was disconnected, but she helped me a lot in providing more details and options for my personal situation. Thanks a lot, and I hope to reschedule if nothing improves within my marriage.
