About Me
Hello, and welcome. I’m Dr. Folusho Otuyelu, licensed clinical social worker, educator, supervisor, and passionate advocate for healing and transformation.
With over 27 years of experience in the field of social work and clinical practice, I’ve dedicated my career to supporting individuals and families as they navigate life’s most difficult and defining moments. My work is rooted in compassion, cultural humility, and a deep belief in the power of growth.
In addition to my clinical practice, I serve as a social work educator and mentor, helping to shape the next generation of social workers and therapists. Teaching, supervising, and mentoring emerging professionals is a deeply meaningful part of my work, and I bring the same level of intentionality and care to those relationships as I do to my clinical work.
I understand that taking the step to seek support takes courage. I’m here to walk with you through that process, not just to help you heal, but to empower you to thrive.
If you are seeking someone who is not only experienced and knowledgeable but also deeply invested in your success, I invite you to connect with me. Together, let’s explore what’s possible and let’s SOAR.
Trauma Therapy and Working with Black, Indigenous, and People of Color
Anxiety
I help individuals uncover the roots of their anxiety, develop effective coping strategies, and build lasting resilience through a calm, supportive, and evidence-based approach.
Somatic-Related Illness
I help individuals understand and manage the connection between physical symptoms and emotional stress by using a holistic, mind-body approach that promotes healing, regulation, and overall well-being.
Depression
I support individuals in navigating the weight of depression by creating a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore their experiences, identify underlying patterns, and rediscover hope.
Trauma Therapy
I support individuals in healing from trauma by creating a safe, empowering space to process their experiences, reclaim their voice, and build resilience through evidence-based, trauma-informed care.
ADHD
I help individuals with ADHD build focus, organization, and emotional regulation by using practical strategies, structured support, and a strengths-based approach tailored to their unique needs.
Adolescent Therapy
I support adolescents in navigating the challenges of identity, emotions, and relationships by creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where they feel seen, heard, and empowered to grow.
