I am a behavioral health clinician specializing in mood disorders, anxiety, trauma‐related conditions, and the emotional complexities that arise alongside chronic medical and cognitive challenges. My practice blends clinical precision with a calm, supportive presence, helping individuals feel understood, grounded, and empowered throughout their care.
Don’t just treat symptoms—but listen for the story behind them.
Integration of medical, psychiatric, and psychosocial threads into a coherent and dignified plan.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I believe wholeheartedly in empowering and enhancing one's capacity to address your own needs. You have the power and expertise within; it is a matter of finding a way to maximize it.
I'm a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with a Master of Social Work from Boston College and more than a decade of experience in behavioral health. My background includes individual and group psychotherapy, clinical leadership, and work across outpatient, hospital-based, and substance use treatment settings.
I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, substance use and recovery, trauma, relationship and family challenges, and major life transitions. I have particular experience helping people understand the connections between emotional well-being, relationships, and patterns of behavior.
I bring warmth, curiosity, compassion, and a straightforward approach to our work together. I believe meaningful change begins with connection, trust, and feeling genuinely understood.
I know starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially if you’ve felt misunderstood in the past.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience in behavioral health, and I hold a Doctor of Social Work (DSW). I specialize in childhood trauma, anxiety, burnout, and working with neurodivergent individuals, including ADHD and autism. I often support people who feel overwhelmed, stuck in survival mode, or exhausted from masking and holding everything together on their own.
My style is warm and down to earth, and I focus on meeting you where you are in each session. Therapy with me is collaborative and flexible, shaped around what works best for you. My goal is to offer a space where you feel safe, understood, and supported as you work toward meaningful change.
Greetings, I am an eleven-year Marine Corps veteran (2003 to 2014), experienced in working with anxiety, depression, trauma, and substance use disorders. My main approach is person centered with a spattering of CBT, ACT, and REBT. Feel free to chat with me a bit and see if we work well together. I am unable to hold in person sessions at this time as I am living in Georgia, but I do miss Boston and lived there from 2018 to 2024. I completed my master's in mental health counseling at Cambridge College in 2022, worked in a psychiatric hospital in a dual diagnosis role from 2022 to 2023, and moved on to community mental health where I worked as an outpatient clinician from 2023 to 2024, earning my licensure in December of that year. I took some time off from conducting therapeutic sessions due to a personal need. During that time, I worked with the Department of Social Services in South Carolina as a foster care case manager and later with a residential substance abuse treatment center at Johnson State Prison, Georgia. I am now back on the plate and ready to get back into hosting mental health therapy sessions remotely. Perhaps I will return to Massachusetts in the future.
While every person's journey is unique, many clients report feeling more hopeful, confident, and emotionally grounded as they begin the therapeutic process. Seeking therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to navigate life's challenges alone. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, understood, and never judged.
For more than a decade, I've worked with children, teens, adults, couples, and families experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, and everyday stress. I believe that the foundation of successful therapy is a genuine, trusting relationship. I take the time to get to know you, meet you where you are, and tailor treatment to your unique needs and goals.
Clients often describe me as warm, compassionate, and easy to talk to. They appreciate that I balance listening and validation with practical tools they can begin using in their daily lives. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready for change, we'll work together at a pace that feels right for you. My hope is that you'll leave each session feeling heard, supported, and equipped with strategies to help you move forward with greater confidence and clarity.
As a board certified psychotherapist, I believe prioritizing mental health is key to happiness and stability in life. Seeking help can be one of the hardest parts, so congratulations on taking that step! I’ve been practicing for 10 years, I work with a plethora of inter-generational clients aged 21-90 who are struggling with anxiety and depression and trauma.
As a chaplain, I take a psycho-spiritual approach and work with clients assisting with intercultural issues, blended family dynamics, religiosity challenges and grief & loss.
Hi, I'm Dr. Olushola Bakare (she/her), and I'd love to work with you.
I know how exhausting it can feel to keep pushing through anxiety, depression, ADHD, or concerns around intimacy and sexuality — especially when you've already tried to "just push through it" and you're tired of being tired. If that's where you are, I want you to know there's a path forward, and I'd be honored to walk it with you.Regarding cancellations, please be advised that failing to cancel at least 24 hours in advance will result in an $80 fee. Furthermore, cancellations or rescheduling made within 3 hours of this 24-hour window (e.g., canceling or rescheduling at 11 AM for a 2:00 PM appointment the following day) provide insufficient time to offer the slot to other clients and may result in discharge from the practice. To ensure your appointment time remains available for others, I kindly request that you provide at least 36 hours' notice for any cancellations.
Follow-up appointments must be scheduled within seven days of the session. I do not communicate with clients while driving, and a cancellation fee will apply.
Additionally, if you reside in a state where I am not licensed, please refrain from booking an appointment, as this will result in a no-show charge. I am licensed in MN, ID, MA, FL, NJ, MD, DE, IL, DC, and CT. I will charge $1,000 and $ 200 every hour if subpoenaed.
Hi, I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a heart for supporting individuals through the transformative journey of parenthood. Specializing in perinatal mental health, I provide compassionate, bilingual therapy to help you navigate the emotional highs and lows of pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond. With a degree from Rutgers University and years of experience working with children, teens, adults, couples, and families, I understand that every journey is unique.
My approach is warm, empowering, and always centered on meeting you exactly where you are. Together, we’ll create a space for healing, growth, and renewed strength.
I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) who has over 8 years of professional experience working with individuals and families seeking treatment for a variety of challenges such as depression, anxiety, adjustment disorders, and PTSD. I strive to work collaboratively with my clients to improve coping skills, increase self-awareness, and empower them to reach their goals and achieve wellness. I understand that beginning therapy can be overwhelming, therefore, I prioritize fostering a strong therapeutic relationship based on trust and respect. My approach to therapy is solutions-oriented, participatory, and warm.
