Dr. Bayo Owens

My communication style

We have a great, welcoming environment with no distractions, where privacy and confidentiality are highly maintained (Patients can feel relaxed and comfortable).

My journey to mental healthcare

Working at the hospital exposed me to everyday people with mental health issues—co-workers, friends, neighbors, family members, and patients suffering in silence, dealing with depression, anxiety, bipolar, and many other challenges. I lost a friend who was dealing with depression.

My goals for you

I encourage focusing on 2-3 goals to avoid feeling overwhelmed. If you can practice healthy habits 90% of the time, you'll realize health benefits. Allowing yourself to relax 10% of the time is more likely to lead to lasting success.

Our first session

In your first session, I'll ensure all the initial paperwork, consent forms are signed, including insurance information and basic questionnaires about your family history and personal health. I'll then ask why you're seeking therapy and what you hope to achieve.
