Olufumilayo Sowah, LCSW — Therapist in Connecticut

Hi there, I'm Olufumilayo!

I am a who utilizes a client-centered approach to therapy. My main focus of therapy is helping you heal.

My focus

I have experience working with trauma, women's issues, depression, anxiety, daily stress, relationship issues, and ADHD.

My approach

The treatment modality that I typically utilize when working with clients is a client-centered approach. I also utilize DBT, EMDR, CBT, and solution-focused, narrative therapy to help guide you through the healing process.

My communication style

I typically try to create a supportive and collaborative environment that allows you to feel comfortable and safe.

My journey to mental healthcare

Becoming a therapist was a lifelong goal. I have always wanted to help others. Within my family, mental health was taboo and not discussed, but I wanted to break that gap and create ways to acknowledge mental health.

My goals for you

I try to create person-centered goals where the client leads the way.

Our first session

I want my clients to feel seen and heard in all aspects of their lives, and our first session will be an example of that. I will allow you to embark on your journey and create space for you to open up and share your story.
