“Olisa is wonderful at creating an environment where you can just talk and talk without judgment. I felt so much better after just my first session. I didn't get the feeling that I was being spoken at, but rather spoken to because she really listened. I'm looking forward to our next session.”

“My session with Ms. Fowlin was amazing! I have never attended a therapy session before. I want to say Olisa is amazing at what she does. She is very welcoming, her bedside manner is very warm and enduring. You can see and feel she loves what she does. She made me feel engaged, heard, and that there is light at the end of the tunnel! This is my very first time in a counseling session and I am looking forward to my next session. Olisa is definitely fulfilling her calling and walking in her life’s purpose. I would say to anyone contemplating therapy, I say love yourself enough to do it! We all need effective, loving, self care to be our best! Self care encompasses showing up for yourself first, then you can show up effectively for others! Please give therapy a chance, you will be shockingly surprised because I definitely am! Love yourself enough to say I want to be whole, I want to be my best self! Thank you you are assisting me with a new wonderful trajectory in this stage of my life!”

Getting to know Olisa Fowlin

I am a licensed mental health counselor dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with compassion, evidence-based care, and a strong therapeutic alliance. My approach is warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental, with an emphasis on building safety and trust from our first session. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, and substance use, with particular experience supporting individuals managing co-occurring mental health conditions. With a deep understanding of how early experiences, relationships, and environments shape our emotional lives, I work to empower clients to develop insight, resilience, and meaningful change. I offer remote therapy to meet clients where they are—literally and emotionally—so treatment can integrate into daily life while providing consistent, structured support. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or ready for change, I’m here to help you feel heard, supported, and capable of healing.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Therapy can be both challenging and deeply rewarding. It often brings up difficult emotions, but it's in working through these moments that real growth and healing can occur. My role is to walk alongside you—providing support, structure, and a safe space to explore whatever you're facing. One of the unique advantages of working with me is the ability to incorporate therapy into your daily life through virtual sessions. This flexibility makes it easier to show up consistently, even when life is busy or overwhelming. Whether you're at home, on a lunch break, or in a quiet space that feels safe, therapy can meet you where you are—literally and emotionally. We’ll move at a pace that feels right for you, with a focus on building trust, deepening self-awareness, and finding practical strategies that support your long-term well-being.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

My approach is structured yet flexible, always tailored to your unique needs and goals. We start by creating a strong foundation of safety and trust, where you feel seen, heard, and not judged. From there, we’ll explore the patterns of thought, emotion, and behavior that may be keeping you stuck—working together to challenge unhelpful beliefs and build more balanced, effective ways of thinking. I also place a strong emphasis on emotional awareness and regulation, helping you identify and navigate intense feelings without becoming overwhelmed by them. We’ll build practical coping tools to manage distress and improve communication in everyday life. At the heart of our work is self-compassion—developing the ability to relate to yourself with kindness, even in moments of pain, failure, or shame. This allows for deeper healing and a more supportive inner voice, helping you move toward a life that aligns with your values and strengths.

More information on payments and coverage

Understanding Your Insurance Coverage & Payment Process with Headway I partner with Headway, a secure platform that helps manage billing and insurance so you can focus on your care without added stress. Headway works directly with your insurance provider to verify your mental health benefits, handle claims, and process payments on your behalf. Before your first session, Headway will confirm your copay, deductible, or coinsurance based on your specific plan. You’ll receive a clear breakdown of any out-of-pocket costs, and your card on file will be charged automatically after each session. If you ever have questions about your benefits, billing, or invoices, Headway’s support team is available to help. You can also log into your Headway account at any time to review upcoming appointments, charges, and coverage details. If you are experiencing financial hardship or need help affording care, please don’t hesitate to let me know. While I don’t control the insurance rates, I can work with you to explore options, including rescheduling frequency or connecting you with additional resources. My priority is to make your care as accessible, transparent, and supportive as possible.
