Hi, I am Gina Onayiga, welcome! You’re probably stopping by to get to know a little more about me and figure out if this would be a good fit for you. I commend you if this is true! Finding a therapist who is a good fit is extremely important. You want to make sure the therapist you choose to work with values or approach falls in line with what you’re looking for.

I work best with people who are ready to do the work. I understand that some days will be better than others however an overall mindset that is open and flexible to work towards the intention set for therapy is important. As your therapist, we are partners. I cannot fix or change anything on my own. This means that we are working together towards a common goal or change. 

I believe that we all have different strengths that we forget about at times. It’s my job to learn about these strengths, help you remember, as well as guide you to tap into the part of you that has what it takes to get through the tough times. As the founder of Ayo Holistic Care I am dedicated to providing intentional client-centered care.
