Hi there! I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Massachusetts, with a Master’s degree from William James College in Boston. With 8 years of experience, I specialize in helping individuals overcome family, relationship, and career stress, as well as burnout. My goal is to empower you to become the best version of yourself.I use a variety of therapeutic techniques tailored to each client’s unique needs. Some of the key approaches I incorporate are: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helps you identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors. Mindfulness-Based Therapy: Encourages you to focus on the present moment and develop a non-judgmental awareness of your thoughts and feelings. Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT): Focuses on finding solutions and setting achievable goals. Person-Centered Therapy: Emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and active listening to support you in your growth. Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT): Helps you understand and transform your emotional responses, particularly in relationships. Psychoeducation: Provides you with information and resources to better understand your mental health and coping strategies. These techniques allow me to address a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship challenges.

Reaching out for help in the form of therapy is not an easy thing to do as many can attest, but by reading this biography, you are taking the first step in getting help for yourself or a loved one. At times, life offers many struggles and obstacles that can be difficult to overcome alone. Engaging in therapy will provide opportunities to explore and process the thoughts and feelings that prevent you from living your best life. Though the thought of therapy may be intimidating and even nerve-wrecking for some, I believe once a person finds the right therapist, they find a trusting confidant who seeks to understand and problem solve.

In my younger years I traveled and worked in many states in a corporate yet still helping role as a business analyst and functioned as a project manager too in South Africa Johannesburg. I am licensed in the state of Massachusetts and Florida. I attended a Christian college for my undergraduate degree at Eastern Nazarene a college affiliated through the church of the Nazarene. The social work department at the college mirrored and was taught social work through a Christian perspective and philosophies taken from the stories of the bible. I completed my graduate degree at Simmons School of Social Work in Boston Massachusetts, getting an MSW, and an Urban Leadership certificate. I have been licensed and doing psychotherapy since 2013. My last job before doing psychotherapy full time was working in an emergency room alongside psychiatric residents doing crisis evaluations, advocating for all populations to get them the proper level of care needed. I like to think in psychotherapy session’s that, “I meet people where they are at in life”, and take it from there. I am an empath and proud of it. I genuinely like helping people understand, identify and better manage their daily lives and relationships. I enjoy helping people to take control and get the best out of life for themselves.

Hi, I’m India, and I’m searching for clients who are ready to start a new journey but aren’t ready to do it on their own. Have you been feeling overwhelmed with the pressure and stressors of life? Feel as though every turn you take leads you down a path of darkness, hopelessness, self-doubt, and despair. Struggling to manage everyday tasks, and have a desire to keep going but can’t motivate yourself to do so? I dedicate my work to helping hardworking men and women like yourself, obtain the tools they need to better manage high stress situations that often feel overpowering. As we work together to identify the issues that bring about symptoms of anxiety, stress and often depression, you will acquire the confidence you need to make those positive, meaningful changes. We will focus on empowering and lifting your spirit, before identifying areas of the mind that have a negative impact on the physical. The approach will always be person centered, warm and will allow you to become more aware of the person you truly are, with a goal of believing you are the individual you desire to be. My approach is integrative and includes evidence-based techniques that will allow you to discover new ways to manage the uncertainty of life. You will always be respected and viewed as the expert and can feel safe knowing I genuinely care about your progress. So, if you’re ready to take the next step and feel the time to reclaim yourself is now, let’s work together to formulate an effective plan.

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.
