Kayode Atoloye

My name is Kayode (Kay) Atoloye. I hold a PhD in General Psychology; I am licensed in Maryland as an LCPC and in Missouri as an LPC. I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) and a Certified Addictions-Informed Mental Health Practitioner (CAIMHP). I hold a Postmaster's certificate in Rehabilitation Counseling and am a Registered Peer Supervisor (RPS) in Maryland. As a Certified SYMBIS (Save Your Marriage Before It Starts) Facilitator, I guide couples through a comprehensive marriage program tailored to strengthen relationships regardless of duration.

My therapeutic approach is rooted in compassion and evidence-based practices, creating a safe and stable environment for growth. I employ a blended approach that caters to each client's unique context and needs. This approach includes, but is not limited to, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Reality Therapy (RT), Person-Centered Therapy (PCT), Behavioral Therapy (BT), Narrative Therapy (NT), and attachment and expectancy theory approaches.

Clients will be able to experience emotional support and validation, tools to manage emotions, improved self-awareness, resolution of inner conflicts, better communication and relationship skills, healing from past trauma, clarity and goal setting, relapse prevention and accountability.
