Healing | Recovery | Change

I believe that people as unique individuals have the capacity to grow, heal and change, learning new ways for improving their health and well-being in all areas of life including biological, psychological, social, and spiritual. Personal growth is facilitated by setting and working toward goals, assessing and building strengths in these areas to develop skills and resources that help them manage life challenges. As a professional, I focus on working collaboratively with my clients in a safe and open environment to identify goals and work towards positive resolutions.


My therapeutic approach integrates CBT, Mindfulness, Person-Centered, Emotion-Focused, Existential, MI, Trauma-Focused CBT, Positive Psychology, and Solution-Focused techniques to help individuals, couples, and families achieve more balance and satisfaction in life.

I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and elders who may be experiencing depression, anxiety, life transitions, adjustment disorders, bipolar disorder, grief and loss, substance abuse, stress, self-esteem, and relationship conflicts.

"Do you find yourself overthinking, feeling emotionally overwhelmed, or struggling to make sense of your thoughts and experiences? You may appear to have things together on the outside, while internally feeling stuck, anxious, on edge, or unsure of how to move forward"


I work with individuals navigating anxiety, stress, unresolved trauma, and life transitions. Together, we create a supportive space where you can better understand yourself, process what you're going through, and begin to show up in your life with more clarity, confidence, and compassion.

I work primarily with women navigating anxiety, trauma, burnout, self-esteem, guilt and shame, career stress, and major life transitions. Many of the women I work with are capable and successful on the outside but may feel overwhelmed, stuck, exhausted, or disconnected on the inside.


I have advanced training in EMDR, an evidence-based approach that can help you process difficult or traumatic experiences that may still be affecting you today. I also use a variety of approaches based on your individual needs, goals, and comfort level.


Together, we’ll work to better understand what you’re experiencing, how past experiences and current stressors may be affecting you, and what you need to move forward. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and judgment-free space where you can feel heard, develop greater self-awareness and self-compassion, and create meaningful change in your life.

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.
