Congratulations! It is great that you have taken the first step in seeking support for your emotional well-being. Perhaps you are struggling with daily stresses, anxiety, overwhelming sadness, depression or past trauma is interfering with your life. Whatever the reason, you are here, which means which mean you are seekng to be the best version of you! I would be honored to continue helping you on this journey. My story is not unique but my journey certainly is. I am a Latina born to teen parents from Puerto Rico. I grew up poor in the inner city. I witnessed my father’s alcohol abuse, DV, divorce and my mother’s depression as she struggled to raise two young daughters while getting an education for herself - all before the age of 8! I survived the only way I knew how - excelling at school. I was fortunate to receive a full scholarship to a prestigious boarding school and studied abroad. This experience had its pros and cons. I saw the world and realized there was much more to life than what I experienced as a child. As an adult, I struggled with forging healthy relationships. I married, had two children. Sadly, I repeated the cycle and married someone that struggled with alcoholism and eventually died as a result. I was left to finish raising two teenagers. While that was hard, the toughest part was when my son was diagnosed with a brain tumor. He is fine now but the ordeal was terrifying. I am now remarried and happily experiencing the joys and challenges of a blended family. My journey has had successes and challenges. I have recognized that all of these experiences helped me grow emotionally. I believe I am stronger and more grounded and a better therapist because of it.

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/or 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 to identify, be available, and care for current clients. It could feel awkward for our relationship to end, yet it is not meant to be discourteous in any way.
