Efuntomiwa Adedeji

Hi, I’m Efuntomiwa “Mimi” Adedeji, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 16 years of experience helping people untangle life’s chaos and rewrite their stories. I specialize in trauma, relationships, identity, and the unique stressors impacting Black and Brown communities. Therapy with me is a mix of real talk, strategic tools, a few laughs, and a lot of grace. I believe healing doesn’t always have to be heavy—sometimes clarity comes through conversation, curiosity, and a safe space to just be you. Let’s figure it out together!

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and rooted in cultural humility. I blend evidence-based practices with real-life strategies, helping clients explore their past while building tools for present-day resilience. I specialize in trauma, life transitions, relationships, and navigating identity. My style is warm, direct, occasionally humorous, and always focused on creating a safe space where growth feels possible and authentic. Whether we’re unpacking generational patterns or working on practical next steps, I’m here to walk with you, not ahead of you.

Clients can expect to leave sessions feeling seen, supported, and equipped with practical tools to navigate life’s challenges. I aim to help you build emotional strength, increase self-awareness, and develop strategies that support lasting change. I create a space that’s affirming, non-judgmental, and infused with empathy—and, when appropriate, a little humor to lighten the load. Whether we’re healing old wounds or tackling current stressors, you’ll gain clarity, confidence, and the reminder that you don’t have to do it alone.
