I bring a comprehensive background in healthcare and social services, with experience spanning a wide range of specialties and care settings. My work has included oncology, dementia care and caregiver support, geriatric evaluation, and primary care coordination. I have also provided services in adult day programs, nursing homes, home health, emergency rooms, and programs supporting individuals experiencing homelessness or serious mental illness.

In addition, I have supported clients dealing with depression, anxiety, sleep issues, substance use, and grief, always with a focus on person-centered, compassionate care. My experience extends to the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE), where I’ve helped older adults maintain their independence and quality of life. I also have strong supervisory experience and a commitment to promoting collaborative, holistic approaches to well-being.

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.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Louisville

Searching for therapists in Louisville starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Some people look for help with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, or work stress. Others want a therapist with training in a specific approach, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, training, and approach match what you want to focus on in therapy.

Louisville has a broad mental health care network across areas like Old Louisville, the Highlands, Downtown, and nearby neighborhoods. That gives you options, while still making it useful to narrow your search by location, appointment availability, and session format. Some people prefer meeting in person near home, work, or school, while others choose virtual therapy for more flexibility. Reading therapist bios can help you understand communication style, session structure, and whether a free phone consultation is offered before you book.

Therapy in Louisville can be a significant expense without insurance, so finding a therapist who accepts your plan matters. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your expected cost before care begins. Headway helps you compare Louisville therapists who are accepting new patients, check your insurance, see estimated costs upfront, and book directly when you are ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
