Mary Oluwatosin Adefalu, LPC — Therapist in Georgia

Hi there, I'm Mary!

I provide support to adults facing anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and trauma. My approach centers on creating a supportive, non-judgmental space where you can explore your feelings, understand the root of your struggles, and gain tools to move forward with confidence.

My focus

I work with adolescents, young adults, and older adults facing anxiety, depression, addiction, stress, low self-esteem, grief and loss, life transitions, and trauma-related issues. My focus is on helping you build practical skills to manage your mental health, improve your emotional well-being, and navigate life's difficulties with confidence.

My approach

I use an eclectic style that integrates evidence-based techniques to foster self-understanding and develop healthier coping strategies. By blending these approaches, I work collaboratively with you to support your journey toward greater independence and emotional well-being.

My communication style

My communication style is grounded in calmness, empathy, active listening, and honest communication. I create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can feel comfortable sharing your concerns. I prioritize making sure you feel heard, validated, and equipped to face life's challenges with confidence.

My journey to mental healthcare

My counseling journey was inspired by a deep passion for helping others navigate life's challenges, find healing, and achieve independence. I became a therapist to create a space where individuals feel truly heard, validated, and empowered to overcome obstacles. I believe everyone has the potential for growth and healing.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting is collaborative, focusing on defining meaningful and achievable goals that align with your personal values and needs. By building a strong therapeutic relationship, I continuously support you in assessing your progress, identifying barriers, and adjusting goals as necessary.

Our first session

During our first session, my primary focus is to make you feel comfortable while we begin building a strong therapeutic relationship. We'll discuss your background, current concerns, and set clear goals for your therapy journey. This is a chance for us to establish a connection and for you to ask any questions.
