I had went to therapy in my home town and it wasn't for me. So it was hard for me to bring myself back to therapy. Dr. Popoola was a breath of fresh air and wasn't just a therapist but a person that cared. He was really easy to connect with and I feel I have been making great progress in a very short period of time. He also has identified things in my past that I didn't think we're having an effect on my current state of health. Dr. Popoola is a great person and would recommend him to others.

Dr. Popoola, is great. 5 stars, he will challenge you to be your best. He will encourage you to grow and call out the truths in your life. He requests that you work towards growth. He won’t take responsibility for your growth, but he will help to provide you with tools to grow.

I appreciate having a therapist that is culturally appropriate for me. It helps with connecting issues and giving feedback in an appropriate way. We can often find common ground and I never leave a session thinking my therapist doesn't understand me or what I am trying to communicate.
