Oluwa(Tosin) began working with children to learn communication, behavioral, and social skills. Tosin’s clinical training included Partial Hospital Programs (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient programs (IOP) focusing on anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma and substance use at a facility in Houston, Texas. She has also worked in community mental health agencies, school districts, and private practices. Additionally, Tosin has served as a counselor at a residential program providing compassionate individualized treatment for anxiety, OCD and OC related disorders.

Tosin is eclectic in her approach to counseling and applies a person-centered framework that highlights tenants of feminist multicultural ideology and skill based interventions from trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. She employs a trauma focused lens that addresses the symptoms clients face, the systems in which clients function in and how these systems influence their lived experiences.

As an immigrant, Tosin understands the barriers that block access for marginalized populations to therapy and her goal is to provide validating therapeutic services while bringing her authentic self to every session. Resistance and authenticity are part of Tosin’s growth and consciousness, she believes that we have a lot more power than we are made to realize. Tosin is passionate about working with Black/immigrant women, students, and clients navigating life transitions, grief, anxiety/depression and more.

Outside of her clinical work you can find Tosin repotting a new plant, spending time with her friends and family, and traveling to a new place.
