Olayinka Dykes

Hi there, I’m Olayinka! Seeking support can be challenging, especially when it’s needed most. Many individuals grapple with self-doubt or an overly critical inner voice. As a licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with nine years of experience specializing in anxiety, depression, and trauma, my priority is your well-being. Life’s transitions and challenges can feel overwhelming, but reaching out is a vital step toward personal growth. My communication style is characterized by attentive listening, free from preconceived biases, allowing me to understand each patient’s unique perspective. I respond with clarity, empathy, and professionalism, ensuring that my communication is appropriate and supportive. I approach goal setting collaboratively, tailoring it to each patient’s unique needs while fostering a trusting relationship. This involves identifying key concerns, setting SMART goals, and encouraging the patient’s involvement to enhance motivation.
