Virtual • Kentucky


Hello, my name is Justin Adekoya. I am a husband, father, and coach. I attended Eastern Kentucky University, where I played football and earned my degree in Social Work. After graduating, I spent some time in the NFL before deciding to hang up my cleats and refocus on my true passion which is helping others overcome challenges related to anxiety, depression, and mindset.

In 2018, I returned to school to earn my Master’s in Social Work from Spalding University and went on to obtain my CSW, followed by my LCSW. Over the past seven years, I’ve had the privilege of working with a diverse range of clients, including veterans, student-athletes from recreational to collegiate levels, adolescents, and teens.

I am passionate about helping clients who feel stuck between their potential and their current mental state, those who have noticed fluctuations in focus, motivation, or confidence and haven’t been able to pinpoint why. Whether you’re a student, athlete, or individual experiencing pressure to perform, struggling with perfectionism, or battling self-doubt while seeking a healthier, more sustainable balance, you are not alone. I’m here to be your sounding board, and together, we can work to get you back on track.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Lexington

Finding the right therapist in Lexington starts with identifying what kind of support you're looking for. Common reasons people seek therapy in Lexington include anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and life transitions. Whether you're looking for a licensed professional counselor (LPC), a clinical social worker (LCSW), or a psychologist, choosing a provider who specializes in your specific concerns can make a meaningful difference. Reading a provider's bio is one of the best ways to understand their approach and decide if they might be a good match.

Lexington has a range of mental health providers offering both in-person and virtual sessions, giving you flexibility based on your schedule and preferences. Practical factors like appointment availability, session format, and location within the Lexington area are worth considering as you narrow your options. A free phone consultation — offered by many providers — can help you get a sense of fit before committing to a first session.

Therapy in Lexington can be expensive out of pocket, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see an estimated session cost before you book, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a therapist who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
