My name is Danielle Jones. I am a graduate of Antioch University with a Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Since 2016 my experience has ranged from anxiety, depression and trauma to ADHD and Oppositional Defiant Disorder.
Experience and training have allowed me the privilege of working with adolescents and adults ranging from 15 and up as a mobile therapist and in office settings.
Treatment modalities include but are not limited to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Trauma Focused- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Understanding the continuously changing environment and demands that impact mental health, I constantly look for and take advantage of educational opportunities of client-centered treatment modalities that ignite client participation for purposes of collaborative positive change.
As a Clinical Mental Health Counselor my passion is bringing healing to people who are struggling with some of life’s challenges. I believe that helping people understand and connect to their thought processes creates the foundation for positive change. Using a personable and empathetic approach to understanding people’s challenges, I have made it my purpose to guide and support clients on their journey to achieving and maintaining an improved quality of life. Every treatment approach is unique to the specific needs/goals of the client. Therefore, I take pride in developing a strong, collaborative therapeutic relationship that allows clients the freedom to begin their healing process. I offer an environment that clients can feel safe in to explore and challenge themselves.
In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family (as I take on my new role as a grandmom), traveling and reading. I am a huge advocate for self-care and strongly encourage my clients to engage in self-care activities. Some of what I enjoy the most are decorating, gardening and crocheting as hobbies.

When working with clients, I use a mind-body approach to increase self-awareness, self-compassion, emotional regulation, and tools to exercise mindfulness. Therapy works best when we can identify strengths and use this as a foundation of our work together while also setting a goal for psychological growth through hands-on activities that will empower the therapeutic process. In a world that is go go go all of the time, I believe it is beneficial to prioritize fostering a sense of kindness towards ourselves and our world, which has been shown to reduce anxiety, depression, and increase self-esteem and creativity.

Hi - I’m Crystal.
It sure is complicated to be an adult these days. We are surrounded by chaos, catastrophe, covid – on top of regular life expectations of work, relationships and family. The canned response of “increase your self-care” is much easier said than done. Co-existing with anxiety and/or depression has become a way of life. Sometimes just having a person to rely on to listen to your struggles would make the difference. As someone well versed in anxiety, therapy is a huge help. If you are looking for someone to hold space for you or if you are looking for tools to apply in your life, please reach out to set up your first appointment.

Have you been thinking about starting therapy, but feeling overwhelmed by the process of finding someone who will be easy to talk to and a good fit for your needs? Making a decision to begin counseling can bring hope and relief, and also be scary or intimidating. My desire is to create a safe and comfortable refuge where you can explore and express feelings, identify solutions, and grow in your ability to develop healthy, supportive relationships. I love working with people of any age, including teens and children, and use approaches that have been shown by research to be helpful and effective.
I received my B.A. in Psychology from UCLA, and my MA in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University. I loved the focus on science and research in my education, and carry that into my therapy work. Many clients have told me they really benefit from understanding what is actually happening in their brains and bodies, and how to best help the brain heal and function more effectively. Additionally, as a musician and artist, I understand the value of creative, non-verbal methods for healing and growth. Incorporating your spiritual or religious orientation into therapy can be a vital part of the healing process, so I work from a faith-based approach when you desire.
I became licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist in California in 2005 and in Texas in 2006. I have worked in private practice, as well as in a non-profit agency with adults experiencing a wide variety of circumstances and needs. Throughout my time as a therapist, I have considered it a true honor to be part of the journey of my clients, and to offer my expertise and guidance as they grow and thrive.

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.
