Therapist

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.

My mission is to remind others that the strength to rise after a fall already lives within them. Throughout my own journey, I’ve experienced many setbacks—moments when getting back up felt out of reach, and failure felt final. But over time, each fall revealed a lesson, and each step forward brought growth, clarity, and resilience. I possess a diverse clinical foundation, supporting individuals with developmental disorders, autism spectrum disorder, mood and personality disorders, depression, and anxiety. I’ve been honored to serve in multiple therapeutic roles, offering individual, couples, family, and group therapy to those seeking healing and meaningful change.
