I’ve only had two sessions with Funmi so far and I already feel better about my mental health. She is very welcoming and allows me to speak freely without judgement. She offers tasks to better myself that I truly enjoy. I love this process so far.

Funmi is easy to talk to and I find her so relatable. Funmi has the great ability to listen, assess, and summarize to make sure you are completely understood before offering coping strategies that you can apply. I find the solution-based, CBT, and DBT approach so useful to this stage in my life. I’ll continue to keep Funmi as a resource!
