Hi, I'm Hayley. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor. You have just taken a huge step in bettering your mental health. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling anxious, stuck, or disconnected, and they are unsure of how to move forward, but they know they want something to change. Together, we focus on building confidence, balance, and self-compassion, using humor and perseverance to navigate challenges along the way. My goal is to help clients reconnect with themselves, rediscover what makes them feel alive, and remember that growth is always possible, even in the toughest moments. I help clients find healing and balance through a supportive, authentic, and often laughter-filled approach. My work blends evidence-based techniques with warmth and compassion, helping people build the skills and mindset needed to create real, lasting change. I know that reaching out for help can feel intimidating, especially if you’re used to handling things on your own. But you don’t have to go through it alone. I’m here to meet you with empathy, humor, and genuine support as we work toward the changes you want to see. If you’re ready to take that next step toward healing, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

Hi, I'm Lindsay. Do you often feel overwhelmed, exhausted or like your emotions are out of your control? Are your relationships, self-care, health, work and family pulling you in a million directions when you feel like you have nothing left to give? Are you struggling to adapt to the changes that a relationship or new parenthood have brought upon you? What about that inner voice that tells you that you aren't enough, you aren't doing it right, and everyone else has something figured out that you can't quite pin down? Maybe you are anticipating or in the throes of a difficult life transition, major loss, or reckoning with some element of your past that has resurfaced as panic, anxiety, distraction, irritability or shutting down. If so, you deserve a space to sort through it all. I practice from the perspective that the relationship that usually needs more time, attention and healing is the one we have with ourselves. Together, we can collaboratively work to identify areas of strength and imbalance, sources of stress, beliefs that hold you back, and strategies and insights to encourage you to stay grounded in the present.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I use dogs in my office while doing therapy. Please schedule telehealth or advise in advance if you are not comfortable in an office with animals. They do provide therapeutic support to clients and have been part of my practice for some time. I hold licenses in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut, Florida and specialty certification as a Certified Advanced Drug & Alcohol Counselor and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. I am a firm believer in everything that happens creates the person. I am a whole life counselor and work with people to explore what it would take to move past the difficult times in life. I take the time to get to know my clients and have many clients who have been with me for years. That doesn't mean someone will see me every week for the rest of their life. It means client know I am available when they have need. I do have clients who have seen me weekly for years not because they are dependent on me but because they have found benefit in processing their life regularly. I have had a successful personal practice for years and can offer clients the space and reverence to unpack the most unpleasant things to reorder them in a way they no longer can cause harm as they once did. There is no perfect childhood and it is likely families do the best they can and it may not have filled the needs of their child.

There are many times in our lives that for brief periods we just need some support and guidance around the challenges we face whether it is intrapersonal (within our own self) or interpersonal (with others), or just coping with changes that occur during our lifespan. Our goal is to empower your inner resources to live your authentic self in this journey of life. I encourage open communication and connection with those I work with. I utilize various modalities and fit the experience to each unique individual, couple or family. It is important that we utilize all aspects of our “selves”, including physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual dimensions.

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!

I also bring a spiritual lens, encouraging you to see your relationships and challenges as mirrors that can help you to meet yourself more deeply. My style is warm and collaborative, but also direct - I'm not afraid to gently challenge old narratives or name what feels hard to say out loud. My hope is that this work helps you move toward real freedom. If it feels like we'd be a good fit, I'd love to connect and see how I can support you!

Thank you for taking the first step in focusing on what your needs are. At times, we get so used to how things are that we forget just because we are functioning doesn’t mean we are doing well. What if you could be more? What if I told you that small steps could get you moving in the direction of being a healthier, more fulfilled version of yourself one who isn’t just surviving, but truly thriving? Growth doesn’t require a complete overhaul; it begins with awareness, intention, and the courage to choose yourself, one step at a time.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Connecticut rather than a city like Hartford?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in Connecticut. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Connecticut from New Haven to Springfield! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Connecticut.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on Women's Issues?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need. For example, your selected specialty, Women's Issues, is filtering therapists in Connecticut that work with patients with similar concerns.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What happens during the first therapy session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
