Hello, I am a licensed clinical social worker in FL, AL, TN, and SC, and I am a Christian Counselor who holds to a Biblical world view and this foundation forms the framework to my clinical training and orientation. I received my MSW degree from Barry University in Miami Shores, Miami, FL. and I have over 40 years of practice experience. I have extensive experience in community and emergency mental health, crisis intervention. I was in private practice for 21 years serving individuals, couples, families, community agencies and municipalities. While in private practice I also became a life coach and personal fitness trainer developing a unique approach to behavior and life style change. I combined my clinical experience with life coaching and personal fitness training and formed a program called Your Life in Focus. This paradigm became an extremely effective approach to help individuals make significant and sustained life-style changes. In 2011 I became employed by the DOD with my duty station at Fort Campbell, KY embedded with the 101st combat aviation brigade as a behavioral health provider. My experience, and creative approaches can have important and meaningful impact on your life.
A Big Hello to you. You are scanning all these profiles. Looking for something to stand out to make you say,"I will go with this one." It is daunting but you have made it this far. Here is the tip. Your choice is not terminal. It is absolutely ok to try multiple therapists to see who gets you the best. Who understands you the best. After each session, you should feel lighter. You may not recall all that was said, but you will note how you feel. Did you feel heard? Understood? Did the therapist talk to me like they were reading a book or did it sound like they really got me? When you get the right one, those questions will be answered with a firm, Yes.
Please Note: I only provide Talk Therapy in my practice. If you are looking for letters for work, ESA, Social Security, FMLA, Family Court, etc., unfortunately I cannot help. You will need a psychological evaluation by a forensic psychologist. This agency does not provide assessments, letters for claims or appearances in court.

Life isn’t easy—especially when you’ve always been the strong one others lean on. You may be the person who keeps everything together at work, in your family, or for your friends, but inside you’re carrying anxiety, exhaustion, or unhealed wounds that no one else sees. My clients often tell me that while they look fine on the outside, they feel drained, disconnected, or overwhelmed on the inside. If that feels familiar, I want you to know you’re not alone—and you don’t have to keep carrying everything by yourself.

My approach is warm, compassionate, and collaborative. I believe therapy is not about being perfect—it’s about being real. This is your space to slow down, exhale, and focus on yourself without judgment. I’ll walk with you as you explore the patterns that no longer serve you and begin to build healthier ways of thinking, feeling, and connecting.
You deserve to feel seen, supported, and understood. Together, we can release the weight of survival-mode habits and move toward a life that feels more grounded, peaceful, and aligned with who you truly are.

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 hold a PhD in Social Work with an emphasis on mental health education. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, and Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor. I have clinical expertise in treating anxiety, depression, addiction, PTSD, trauma, bi-polar disorder, and chronic medical conditions exacerbated by mental health. I provide an interactive therapeutic style for individuals, couples, and families. To do this, I integrate various methods and techniques to offer a personalized client centered approach. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectic behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, narrative therapy, spirituality, motivational interviewing, and solution focused strategies inclusive of compassion and understanding.
It is my belief that all people are born precious and free. Along the way, life presents challenges that could contribute to an individual feeling unfulfilled, unseen, unheard, and misunderstood. Together, you and I will discover the root cause of the pain and implement a plan for healing.
I am here to help you examine and explore issues that make you feel stuck. I understand that each person is the driver of their own life and has within them the strength to overcome obstacles. I encourage introspection and observation of behavior, rather than judgement and negative self- talk. I believe therapy can be life changing, allow me the chance to help you.
Do you feel overwhelmed these days? Are you constantly trying to strike a balance between the demands of work and parenting or co-parenting, while also managing your health, housework, and perhaps other demands? In your family, does the caretaking always fall to you? Are you experiencing depression and anxiety in reaction to either a past trauma and/or burnout from stress? I work with women who are experiencing what I like to call "multiple-role fatigue". I have experience in treating depression, anxiety, and trauma-related stress disorders common to women who face an ever-mounting load of responsibilities in a complex society, where being a mother or a caretaker often comes with diverse challenges and responsibilities. I also like to work with clients on their recovery from trauma. With this in mind, I incorporate various treatment modalities, where healing and recovery can take place through a combination of compassionate conversation, active listening, homework assignments journaling, mindfulness, self-reflection, cognitive behavior therapy, grief counseling, boundary setting and trauma-informed care. I also offer a faith-based support, where clients seeking a Christian approach are welcome.
I like to form a supportive alliance with caregivers to help them navigate the demands of parenting a child or children with higher needs. I focus on parental needs, and I work with clients using evidence-based techniques to empower them to achieve balance and experience lasting well-being. For parents, I'm a big advocate of self-care, and I help my clients learn to nurture themselves in a sustainable way to avoid burnout. I also believe that parents need to feel seen and heard, and the stress of parenting cannot be overemphasized. Forming a partnership with parents, giving them a forum in which they feel consistently supported in a compassionate and non-judgmental way, therefore, is one of my top priorities as a therapist.
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Florida and California. I am a veteran of the United States Air Force and work with many service members, family members, and veterans. I have worked with clients who have experienced struggles with anxiety, depression, relationship issues and career transitions. I partner with you as a reflective, healing presence in the midst of uncertainty and persistent change.
I am a therapist who has a passion for helping others break free from burdens. I believe our deepest secrets can be blockages to moving forward in life. My mission with every client is to create a space where they feel safe to be authentic, while learning ways to regain control of their lives. I am honored to support you in this journey you are getting ready to embark on and I am rooting for your success in the healing process. I am sending you well wishes and a safe space to chat.
