In my practice, I strive to be practical, humble and approachable. I provide comfort and relatability with practical solutions to the problems of living. I will work with you to help you develop resilience so that you can face the challenges of life more skillfully. I have a wide range of clinical and mentoring experiences ranging from working with parents and children to counseling teenagers and young adults. I am trained in cognitive behavioral therapy, a certified Circle of Security parenting instructor and a meditation teacher. In my current practice, I specialize in working with boys and young men between ages 10 and 30.

My primary specialty is helping people struggling with gambling related issues. With the rapid expansion of the gambling industry and accessibility, more and more find it hard to control this behavior. Generally, I use a combination of traditional cognitive behavioral techniques with strategies to improve motivation, set goals, and increase acknowledgement and acceptance that the treatment goals are attainable. Change is possible. It takes work, and I would be honored to help you in this journey.

I view the therapeutic relationship as a collaboration through which I support and guide clients. When we seek therapy, oftentimes we are looking to deepen the intrapersonal relationship within ourselves. That is why I am here: to help clients who are ready for self-discovery and exploration. I believe that self- awareness propels growth, and I work alongside clients to foster insight which ultimately leads to transformation. Through cognitive restructuring and exploring unconscious emotional-behavioral patterns, clients will build a coping toolbox to help them navigate their worlds consistent with their values and aspirations.

You have probably tried therapy before, but you're still hurting. You still feel stuck. I work differently than traditional therapists - using Evidence Based Psychotherapies - treatments proven to work by research. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) are based in brain science. We can retrain your brain. We can work to build new coping skills and a different approach to emotional pain. Research shows these therapies work to help people like you feel more calm and connected to their lives. You can feel better. You can live better!

Accepting New Clients. Hello, I am Adesola Ogin a dedicated therapist passionate about guiding individuals through life's challenges. With a focus on depression, anxiety, PTSD, family dynamics, grief, and anger issues, I offer compassionate support and evidence-based interventions to empower my clients on their journey to healing and growth. My approach is rooted in empathy, understanding, and respect for the unique experiences of each individual I work with. I strive to create a safe and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, valued, and supported as they navigate through difficult emotions.

Many people feel so alone with their problems. Central to my approach to counseling is my belief that the relationship between the client and the counselor is critical to effective counseling. Only when a client feels that they are fully heard, understood, accepted and valued without judgment, does change occur. These key factors are manifest through active listening, empathy, unconditional positive regard, and the development of a therapeutic alliance. That alliance is built around an agreement on the client’s goals. These goals must always be the client’s goals, no one else's. No problem is "too hard" and no revelation "too dark".

Currently accepting clients for in-person or telehealth! I work with ages 14+ who are dealing with issues related to depression, anxiety, suicidality, secular spirituality, anger, relationships, and excessive gaming.

Are you feeling unrelenting worry, sadness, or overwhelm? Or is life not meeting your expectations? These feelings can be paralyzing and affect all areas of our lives. It would be my honor to help you navigate through this difficult time and find peace to live a more fulfilling life. I combine an individual approach that focuses on living in the present, helping you to manage life disruptions, and creating the life you want. This can also include Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) if we feel it would help you.
