Austin Obika

My communication style

I treat each person with respect and dignity as a partner in achieving recovery. I work to combat the stigma and misunderstanding that often surrounds mental health challenges. You can expect a warm, collaborative space where you're heard and supported without judgment. I'll challenge you with specific strategies while honoring your pace.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've spent my career empowering children, youth, and adults through community mental health work. I've supported families navigating foster care, juvenile justice, and military life stressors. I'm passionate about helping people rediscover the tools they already have within themselves and engaging them in the process of positive change.

My goals for you

You are a partner in achieving recovery. I build formal partnerships with clients to enhance the recovery process, working together to combat stigma and misunderstanding. My focus is helping you maintain emotional stability, improve behavioral functioning, and experience the highest quality of life possible.

Our first session

In our first session, you'll be treated with respect and dignity as a partner in your own recovery. I recognize that seeking help can feel vulnerable, especially given the stigma around mental health. We'll begin building a collaborative partnership focused on understanding your needs and enhancing your path forward.
