Getting to know Olufumilayo Sowah

Hi there, I'm Olufumilayo! Hi, my name is Olufumilayo Sowah, and I am a licensed Clinical Social Worker who utilizes a client-centered approach to therapy. My main focus in therapy is helping you heal. My approach The treatment modality I typically use when working with clients is a client-centered approach. I also incorporate DBT, EMDR, CBT, and solution-focused narrative therapy to help guide you through the healing process. My focus I have experience working with trauma, women’s issues, depression, anxiety, daily stress, relationship issues, and ADHD. My communication style I strive to create a supportive and collaborative environment that allows you to feel comfortable and safe. My journey to mental healthcare Becoming a therapist was a lifelong goal. I have always wanted to help others. Within my family, mental health was something taboo and not discussed, but I wanted to break that gap and create awareness around mental health. I realized that the best way I could make a difference in society and my family was by learning more about mental health and finding ways to best help treat others. My journey began at UCONN, where I earned my BA in Human Development and Family Studies and worked in several young adult programs. I later went back to school at Springfield College and earned my Master’s in Social Work. I started my own private practice, providing individual therapy to children and adults. I went on to work at IICAPS, IPP, DCF, DMHAS, and now I am currently at UCONN. Doing this work gives me great joy and fuels me to work even harder to create a safe space for others to get the help they need and heal. My goals for you I try to create person-centered goals where you lead the way. My first session with you I want my clients to feel seen and heard in all aspects of their life, and our first session will be an example of that. I will create space for you to open up and share your story as you embark on your healing journey.
