Welcome. I’m glad you’re here. Reaching out for support can feel scary and even a little overwhelming. You don’t have to have everything figured out, have the perfect words or even know exactly what you need. Therapy can be a place where you slow down and give yourself the space to sort through what’s been weighing on you.
My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and never judged. There is no pressure, no expectations, just a place where you can show up exactly as you are.

I bring over 30 years of experience, along with a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of sitting with people in many different stages of life, and it’s taught me how resilient we are, even when it doesn’t feel that way.
You don’t have to sort through everything alone. When you are ready, I’m here to walk alongside you as you find clarity and healing.

relationships. I provide safety and support for

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).

Through empathy, mindfulness, and a strengths-based approach, I help clients rediscover their voice, build resilience, and move toward meaningful change—in English or Spanish.
I’m T’Keyah Dailey, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with nine years of experience guiding children, adults, and families through life's challenges and transitions. My therapeutic approach combines compassion and collaboration, creating an environment where clients feel truly seen and understood. I utilize a variety of evidence-based modalities, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Motivational Interviewing, tailoring my treatment to meet each client’s unique needs. I believe in a personalized healing journey and work closely with clients to discover practical tools, enhance emotional regulation, and foster self-awareness. Together, we cultivate clarity, resilience, and confidence, empowering you to create meaningful changes that align with your values and support your long-term well-being.
I’ve always been interested in understanding people — how life experiences, relationships, stress, and challenges shape the way we cope and move through the world. Over time, I realized I found a lot of meaning in helping people work through obstacles, gain perspective, and feel less stuck in the things weighing them down. I know it can be hard to ask for support, especially when you’ve been trying to manage everything on your own. I want clients to feel comfortable being honest about what they’re facing while also working together to find practical, concrete solutions that help life feel more manageable and move them toward meaningful, lasting change.
I earned my bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Wisconsin–Madison and my Master’s degree in Social Work with a clinical focus from Capella University. Over the past 14 years, I have worked with children, teens, adults, couples, and families across in-home, outpatient, and telehealth settings. I’ve supported people through some of the most difficult periods of their lives, including severe anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, family conflict, crisis situations, and overwhelming life stress. Working in a variety of settings and with diverse client needs has taught me how to meet people where they are, adapt to challenging situations, and help clients find realistic ways to move forward.
I see therapy as a place to be real about what’s not working and figure out what needs to change. Some clients come in feeling emotionally exhausted, disconnected in relationships, overwhelmed by responsibilities, or frustrated by patterns they can’t seem to break. My role is to help people make sense of what they’re experiencing, develop practical tools that actually fit their lives, and regain a stronger sense of control, stability, and confidence moving forward.
I am a clinical social worker with experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults across the lifespan. I earned my bachelor’s degree in psychology from Eastern Mennonite University and my master’s degree in clinical social work from George Mason University. I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, family conflict, grief and loss, peer relationships, school issues, and self-esteem. My therapeutic approach integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, strength-based practices, and stress management techniques. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel seen and heard while building resilience and developing effective coping skills to manage emotional distress.
