Accepting New Clients! I help adults healing from childhood trauma and neglect who struggle with anxiety, emotional dysregulation, perfectionism, vulnerability, or low self-esteem understand how their past is affecting them, develop tools to regulate their emotions, and regain a sense of control so they can feel better about themselves and live their lives more fully.

Please reach out if you are looking for extra support and a warm environment to obtain it.

Having over 25 years of hands on experience with a variety of clients, I am comfortable working with just about anyone who is ready and willing to look at new perspectives. During our time together, you will feel safe, understood, and empowered.

I am a License Clinical Social Worker. I reviewed my bachelor and masters degrees from the University of Kentucky in clinical social work. I have worked with a variety of populations to include children to adults later in life. I have experience working with families, individuals, and couples.

I'm a licensed clinical social worker with over 15 years of experience supporting individuals and couples through times of challenge, transition, and growth. My work is trauma-informed and grounded in therapies that are supported by research and guided by a recovery-oriented model—meaning I believe in your capacity to heal, grow, and lead a life that aligns with your values.

I specialize in evidence-based psychotherapy such as:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
• Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR)
• Integrated Behavioral Couples Therapy (IBCT)
• Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

I received my undergraduate degree at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and my Master’s in Clinical Social Work from the University of Chicago, where I was trained in evidence-based, client-centered approaches to mental health.

Hi, I’m a therapist who believes healing doesn’t have to feel stiff, awkward, or like you’re sitting in a room being judged by someone holding a clipboard.

My style is warm, down-to-earth, and often sprinkled with humor—because sometimes we need to laugh so we don’t fall apart, and sometimes we just need to laugh while we’re putting ourselves back together.

I specialize in working with people who don’t fit neatly into one diagnostic box—folks with dual diagnoses, complex histories, depression that doesn’t budge easily, and the “I’ve tried therapy before and it didn’t help” crowd. If you’ve been called “a lot,” “too much,” or “hard to treat,” you’re exactly my kind of person.

What therapy with me feels like:

Safe, supportive, and human—not clinical and cold

A place where you can be messy, honest, sarcastic, or quiet

Collaborative, with plenty of gentle challenge when you need it

Rooted in evidence-based strategies, but delivered in a way that feels real and doable

I work best with driven people experiencing a big change. Perhaps, despite your best efforts, things aren’t working out as you’d hoped. Or perhaps you’ve gotten all you wanted and it doesn’t satisfy. I work often with D1 athletes & pros (as well as their family members). I love supporting the romantic partners of people in the public eye. Though I often work with athletes I am not a Sports Psych. In fact, I don’t even follow sports! I’m here for the rest of your life and identity.

Hi, I’m David, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I truly believe therapy should feel like a real conversation, not interrogative or robotic. I’m laid-back, supportive, and help people feel at ease. I respect your story, your values, and your pace -whether you're coming to therapy for the first time or returning after a break.

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.
