I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, ADHD, mood disorders, grief and loss, stress, burnout, and life transitions. Seeking support is a courageous first step, and you don't have to navigate life's challenges alone. We'll work together to develop a treatment plan that aligns with your goals and values. 

My approach includes psychoeducation and lifestyle interventions. My areas of clinical interest include anxiety disorders, depression, trauma and PTSD, ADHD, mood disorders, grief and loss, stress and burnout, and women's mental health. I have a strong interest in physical and mental health, including sleep, nutrition, hormonal balance, and overall wellness. 

I offer a thoughtful, respectful, and collaborative partnership built on trust and communication. I believe in shared decision-making, ensuring treatment plans are personalized, evidence-based, and aligned with your values and goals. I am committed to helping clients build the skills, confidence, and resilience needed to thrive. I offer guidance and support.

Get to know Foluke

Why did you decide to become a counselor or psychiatric provider?

I decided to become a psychiatric provider due to life experiences of personal trauma and loss. I understand the profound emotional, psychological, and relational effects that adversity can have on an individual's well-being. My journey has deepened my empathy and reinforced my belief in the human capacity for healing and resilience.

What types of clients do you work best with?

Adults, geriatrics, and Adolescents.

What's one thing you wish all clients knew about therapy, mental health, or the healing process?

Therapy, mental health recovery is not linear process, resilence is key. I believe that healing is possible, recovery is achievable, and every person deserves the opportunity to live a balanced, meaningful, and fulfilling life.

What can clients expect in their first session with you and in the early stages of therapy?

Active listening, collaborative and Holistic care. My goal is to partner with each client to develop an individualized treatment plan that promotes resilience, restores hope, and supports lasting emotional wellness. Clients can expect a thoughtful, respectful, and collaborative partnership built on trust and open communication. I believe in shared decisionmaking, ensuring that treatment plans are personalized, evidencebased, and aligned with each individual's values and goals. Whether the focus is symptom relief, improving daily functioning, navigating a major life transition, or achieving long-term emotional wellness, I am committed to helping clients build the skills, confidence, and resilience needed to thrive.

What personal experiences or values inform your practice as a therapist/provider?

My practice as a psychiatric provider is grounded in the values of compassion, respect, integrity, and patientcentered care. I believe that every individual deserves to be seen and treated as a whole person—not defined by symptoms, diagnoses, or past experiences, but understood within the full context of their life story. I value collaboration and transparency. I strive to build trusting relationships where clients feel safe, heard, and actively involved in their care. I also value cultural humility and recognize the importance of honoring each person’s background, identity, and lived experience in the treatment process.

How do you tailor therapy to meet each client’s unique needs?

Evidence-based interventions, compassionate support, and the development of practical coping and life skills. I tailor treatment by recognizing that no two individuals experience mental health concerns in the same way. I begin with a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation that considers not only symptoms but also personal history, medical background, psychosocial factors, strengths, and treatment preferences. This allows me to develop a clear understanding of each client’s unique needs and goals.
