I was born in Louisville but shortly after was moved to a small rural town about an hour south as a young child. I was raised by my grandparents due to my own parent’s struggles, which became my motivation for my own life. I have always wanted to be someone that children can talk to or relate to when in need. Life is not easy and that one person in your corner is so important. That is why I am here today advocating for you and advocating for your mental health.

I decided it was so important for me to be successful and be the light for someone in the future. With that, I applied to the University of Louisville with no idea how I was going to pay for college. Many obstacles stood in my way, but I continued on anyway. My college journey was bumpy and was never easy, but I did not let that stop me from reaching what I wanted for my future. I graduated with my Bachelors of Science in Criminal Justice with a Minor in Sociology. However, I did not think that was enough. I continued on for my Masters of Science in Social Work and decided to specialize in School Social Work. This is where my true passion was & what made my fire grow brighter.

So here I am today, doing what I love. I have been a practicing clinician for the past 3 1/2 years. I love working with school age children, teens, and young adults who are struggling with past trauma similar to my own or maybe anxiety due to the stressors of everyday life. I love watching my clients flourish and blossom into who they are meant to be. It is great to see someone who was barely standing on their own, begin to love themselves again. Or maybe the one who was so angry about what happened to them and did not know how to control it, begin to use skills and use that anger in a more positive way. I am here to help, and it is what I love to do. We will work together to foster the skills that you need to be successful within your daily life.

Therapist

Virtual • Kentucky


Hello, my name is Justin Adekoya. I am a husband, father, and coach. I attended Eastern Kentucky University, where I played football and earned my degree in Social Work. After graduating, I spent some time in the NFL before deciding to hang up my cleats and refocus on my true passion which is helping others overcome challenges related to anxiety, depression, and mindset.

In 2018, I returned to school to earn my Master’s in Social Work from Spalding University and went on to obtain my CSW, followed by my LCSW. Over the past seven years, I’ve had the privilege of working with a diverse range of clients, including veterans, student-athletes from recreational to collegiate levels, adolescents, and teens.

I am passionate about helping clients who feel stuck between their potential and their current mental state, those who have noticed fluctuations in focus, motivation, or confidence and haven’t been able to pinpoint why. Whether you’re a student, athlete, or individual experiencing pressure to perform, struggling with perfectionism, or battling self-doubt while seeking a healthier, more sustainable balance, you are not alone. I’m here to be your sounding board, and together, we can work to get you back on track.

Therapist

Most people arrive at therapy carrying something they've never said out loud. My job is to make saying it possible by being someone worth trusting with it.

I've been a practicing counselor for over a decade. I also teach and supervise the next generation of therapists, which keeps me sharp and current. But experience and credentials aren't what makes the work good. What makes therapy work is that I'm a real person in the room with you: direct when that helps, quiet when that helps more. I will never ask you to do something I'm not willing to do myself.

My education isn't limited to my degrees. My clients have taught me more about resilience, compassion, and what it means to live fully than any program did. I hold that as sacred, and I take you as seriously as I take that.
