In life the most important aspect is the relationship we have with ourselves and others. As a mental health therapist I believe healing happens through connection, understanding, and feeling truly heard. I help individuals navigate the effects of trauma, strengthen relationships, and develop the tools needed to create lasting emotional well being in a warm, nonjudgmental environment.
Hello. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with extensive experience supporting individuals and families navigating trauma, mental health challenges, and periods of crisis. Throughout my career, I have worked in roles focused on crisis intervention, trauma-informed care, and helping individuals manage complex emotional and behavioral concerns. I am committed to creating a supportive and compassionate environment where clients feel safe sharing their experiences and beginning the healing process.
As a dual-licensed mental health professional in Kentucky, I bring over 20 years of experience in clinical counseling and substance use treatment. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to meet you exactly where you are. I specialize in supporting individuals facing anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and addiction, helping them move forward with resilience and confidence.

Take the step toward reclaiming your life you deserve it.
My ideal client is someone who has experienced trauma and/or struggles with substance use. They are looking for a safe and supportive environment to work through their issues and find healing and recovery. They understand the importance of addressing their mental health and are motivated to make positive changes in their life. Their goals include building coping skills, improving relationships, and finding a sense of purpose and fulfillment. Their desire for change stems from a desire to live a happier and healthier life, free from the negative impacts of trauma and substance use.
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.
Hello, I’m Misty, and I’m here to support you on your path toward growth and progress. If you’re seeking clinical services that help you move forward from where you are now, you’ve come to the right place.
Hi! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LCADC). I specialize in supporting individuals dealing with addiction, mental health concerns, and life transitions. I work with adults struggling with anxiety, depression, substance use, trauma, and relationship challenges. I use evidence-based therapies like CBT, Motivational Interviewing (MI), and trauma-informed care, always tailored to your unique needs.
I’m here to help you feel supported and empowered as you work toward a healthier, more balanced life.
I am a licensed counselor with over ten years of clinical experience in treating anxiety, depression, life stress, and trauma-related disorders. I own and operate a practice in East KY and am eager to connect with individuals within KY who are seeking quality mental healthcare.
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s degree in Social Work and over four years of experience providing trauma-informed mental health care. Since beginning my therapy career in 2022, I have supported individuals facing complex trauma, depression, anxiety, and attachment-related challenges.
I specialize in EMDR and mindfulness training, offering clients a dynamic blend of advanced therapeutic modalities and empathic presence. My approach is rooted in the belief that true healing requires both symptom relief and the opportunity to reframe core beliefs shaped by trauma. I believe in getting to the root of the present day issues.
My clinical work focuses on helping clients reclaim personal agency, build emotional resilience, and reconnect with meaning and self-worth. I hold space for deep emotional work and guide clients toward lasting transformation.
I am committed not just to alleviating distress but to empowering people to rewrite their stories.
As an an expert in relationships and sexual intimacy, as well as life's harder moments, when things feel bleak or it is hard to trust that things will work out again, I am here for you. I am empathic, patient, thoughtful, challenging, and an out of the box thinker offering a steady hand to steer you toward your highest path. I am driven by your goals and act as an accountability partner and friendly ally on your journey to seek pleasure, change, and empowerment. I believe there is opportunity in crisis (big and small) and that you are here because you know what it is you need. Let me help you recover your true SELF.
I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with over 10 years of experience in the counseling field. I work with adolescents, young adults, and adults ages 14 and older, providing a warm, welcoming, and supportive environment where clients can feel comfortable being themselves.
My goal is not to tell you who you should be or what your life should look like. Instead, I want to help you better understand yourself, identify what you want for your life, work through the things that may be holding you back, and develop the tools and confidence needed to move forward.
I believe every person has strengths, even during times when those strengths may be difficult to see. Whether you're navigating a difficult season, healing from past experiences, struggling with your self-worth, or simply feeling ready for something to change, I would be honored to walk alongside you.
You don't have to have everything figured out before you begin. We can start exactly where you are and work from there.
I've always loved helping people live more fulfilling and joyful lives. As humans, we do not exist in a vacuum, so many things take a toll on our daily lives and through our work together, we can figure out what works and what doesn't. I am an LCSW and have been specializing in OCD and Trauma for over three years.
I am very invested in helping clients reach their goals for a better life. I like for our sessions to be relaxed and conversational. I feel I need to get to know clients on a personal level before I can help them.
