When it comes to facing transitions in life, things can get difficult to manage. Although it can seem daunting and overwhelming at the onset of sessions, by the end of our therapy experience, together we will work on coping skills to address any concerns that may arise in the present and future. I started working in the Social Work field with children and families in the child welfare realm. I've continued the journey in the community health space with pregnant and parenting women and families. Throughout this time, I've continuously provided individual therapy to children and adults helping clients eliminate or diminish barriers that inhibit personal success. Seeking therapy can be scary at first but we will work together to remove the fear and gain access to successes that you didn't know were possible. I'd love to help you get to your level. You only need to take the first step!

Tired of doing the same thing and expecting different results? Tired of feeling like you're going in circles? I work with clients to change their lives by identifying unhealthy patterns and creating new healthy ways of living. If you're willing to do the work, I will walk alongside you to make a real change. Therapy is a cooperative venture with responsibility resting on both the therapist and the client. The therapy approach that I utilize includes the whole person: body, mind, and spirit. The goal of therapy is to bring renewal and enhance the quality of life. In general, the beginning stage of therapy involves identifying the issues by which you are troubled. The second stage involves gaining insights into patterns of emotions, thoughts, and behaviors related to your problems that will help you begin to make needed changes. In the last stage, you will be encouraged to actively apply and solidify new insights and skills to facilitate change in yourself and your life situations. The duration of therapy depends on many factors unique to your situation. Experience shows that those who are motivated to work on their problems, engage in sessions, and complete homework assignments, see the greatest improvement most quickly.

It is the policy of Dr. Olushola Bakare, LMFT, that after a one-month consistent lapse of meeting with a client our professional relationship will be considered terminated.
