What is therapy like? What does a typical session with you look like?

My journey into counseling came from my own childhood experiences of trauma and family conflict. I sought help but couldn't access what I needed at the time. This inspired me to become both a minister and counselor so I could help others in ways I wasn't helped. I've served in church ministries and community work for many years. I'm a person- and family-centered therapist who encourages parent and sibling engagement when appropriate. My goal is to help you focus on your strengths and strive towards personal growth using interactive, solution-focused therapy with practical feedback. I offer spiritual and Christian biblical guidance when requested. I work with clients seeking help with depression, anxiety, PTSD, couples and family therapy, and parent-child therapy. My mission is to provide compassionate, caring, and confidential counseling in a safe and supportive space. I welcome individuals and families from all walks of life, including the LGBT+ community, without judgment. I utilize a trauma-informed care approach and don't see you as a diagnosis. In session, I work to connect with you as an individual, help you understand yourself, problem-solve when necessary, and focus on positive solutions for the betterment of your life and mental well-being. I believe the counseling session is a space for self-exploration, guidance, and support through life's stressors. As an eclectic therapist specializing in trauma-informed care, I use a combination of CBT, psychoeducation with positive psychology, and reality therapy to help you achieve positive changes and personal healing.

Sometimes, you just need a place where you can be honest about how you’re really doing. I’m Tobi Olaofe, a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner and founder of TLC Psychiatry in Smithtown, NY. With 12 years in healthcare, I’ve learned that good care starts with listening. I work with adults, with a special focus on pregnancy, postpartum, fertility challenges, and pregnancy loss, seasons when joy and sadness can exist side by side. My style is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative. We’ll talk about what’s been hard, what you want to feel differently, and how medication and supportive care may help. You bring your story. I bring clinical knowledge, compassion, and space for you to be yourself.

I help adults with anxiety, stress, and trauma-related concerns. Treatment often includes understanding patterns that keep you stuck, learning practical coping skills, and gently addressing underlying experiences that affect how you think and feel. Over time, you can expect greater clarity, emotional stability, and improved confidence in managing daily life.

Sometimes you know something needs to change, but figuring out what to do next is the difficult part. You do not need to have everything figured out before starting counseling. I am a graduate level counselor intern providing counseling services under supervision. I work primarily with adults and adolescents who are navigating challenges such as stress, anxiety, difficult emotions, relationship concerns, life transitions, or simply feeling stuck. My approach is practical and action focused. I primarily draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and action-oriented brief therapy while incorporating techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Adlerian counseling. While understanding your experiences and identifying patterns is important, I also believe counseling should help you determine what to do with what you discover. Small changes today can lead to significant progress tomorrow.
