Fela Osifade, Resident in Counseling (License #0704018526), offers empathetic support and targeted therapeutic interventions to help individuals uncover and work through the root causes of their challenges.

Fela believes therapy is a collaborative and compassionate journey where every client’s story matters. Her goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel heard and empowered to explore their challenges, discover their strengths, and create meaningful change.

She is passionate about supporting young adults, adults, and couples in their pursuit of clarity, emotional well-being, and personal growth. Fela’s counseling approach is integrative, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Internal Family Systems, mindfulness-based practices, and relational and attachment-informed techniques to meet each client’s unique needs.
