Hi, I’m happy that you have made it here! My name is Wale Okerayi (she/her) and I am a Psychotherapist serving folks in New York & Texas. I grew up in Houston, Texas and then moved to New York City where I received a double masters degree in Mental Health Counseling from Teachers College Columbia University.
My work is rooted in the fact that therapy should not look the same for everybody. My therapeutic approach is collaborative, eclectic, holistic, relational, and trauma-informed. I like to structure our work around you, your needs, and identities. As your therapist, my goal in each session is to create a safe and judgment free zone so that you can feel free to show up as your authentic self to further your healing and growth. Below are treatment modalities and theories that I use in my therapeutic practice:
As a relationship therapist, working with me means slowing things down and creating a safe, judgment-free space where we can explore what’s really happening beneath the surface of disagreements. Together, we look at the different parts that show up for each person during conflict and begin to understand the patterns that keep you stuck. From there, we work toward unlocking new, more connected ways of communicating and relating to one another.
