Clients say this provider is
My name is Dr. Olushola Bakare, and my work centers on helping people recognize the strengths they already carry. Just as a fish is built to swim and a bird to fly, I believe each of us has our own natural way of moving through life, and my role is to help you find and lean into yours. I work with adults and older adults who are ready to feel more grounded, confident, and understood, in a space that is safe, warm, and free of judgment. To help make sure we are the right fit from the start, I want to be upfront that my practice does not currently include couples counseling, medication management, or completing disability, FMLA, or legal paperwork. I work with adults 18 years and older. If any of these are part of what you are looking for, I am happy to help you find a provider whose practice is built around that support.
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.

Dr. Olushola Bakare was awesome. She listened and gave back good feedback. She didn’t judge me. I thought it was good session.

I was able to relax, and now I can think through what would be best for me moving forward. I feel really supported.

"Finding a therapist who understands both the clinical and spiritual sides of life can be tough. Because I work in the mental health field, it's usually difficult for me to open up. Dr. Bakare immediately put me at ease. She is patient, inviting, and weaves faith into the therapy process beautifully and authentically. I am so grateful for her guidance."
