Meet Bola, Bwell's New Therapist: Helping You Heal, Set Boundaries, and Break Generational Patterns

If you’ve been carrying the weight of emotionally immature parents, chronic anxiety, or burnout, you don’t have to do it alone.

Hi, I’m Bola—a licensed EMDR therapist and emotional fitness coach—and I’m excited to introduce myself as the newest clinician at Bwell Counseling! I help adults who feel stuck in old patterns, drained by family dynamics, and overwhelmed by the pressure to always be "the strong one." Together, we’ll untangle the emotional knots of your past, build resilience, and help you reclaim your authentic voice—because while those generational patterns didn’t start with you, they can end with you.

Who I Work With

I specialize in working with millennials and Gen Z who have spent their lives feeling like they have to be the "strong one." You’re the one who keeps it together for everyone else, but deep down, you’re exhausted, anxious, and struggling to prioritize yourself. Maybe you’ve always felt like you were parenting your parents. Maybe you’re used to people-pleasing, overworking, or feeling guilty when you set boundaries. Or maybe you’re just starting to realize how much your past has shaped your relationships, self-worth, and emotional patterns.

I see you. And I can help.

My Approach to Therapy

Therapy with me is real, deep, and transformative—but we’ll also keep it relatable (and maybe even laugh a little along the way). I combine EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, DBT, CBT, and IFS to help my clients process past wounds and build emotional fitness. My approach is trauma-informed, evidence-based, and holistic, meaning we won’t just talk about what’s wrong—you’ll actually feel real, lasting change in your nervous system, your relationships, and your confidence.

For those who have explored plant medicine or psychedelic experiences, I also offer psychedelic integration therapy. Whether you've worked with ayahuasca, psilocybin, or other psychedelics, I help you make sense of your journey, process insights, and apply them to your daily life in a way that fosters real healing. Psychedelics can open doors to deep emotional work, but true transformation happens when those experiences are integrated with intention. Our sessions will help you bridge the gap between your experience and lasting emotional shifts—so your healing doesn’t stay in the ceremony but becomes a part of your everyday life.

I also integrate faith and psychology for those seeking a balance between spirituality and clinical support. Whether you’re deconstructing unhealthy beliefs, healing from religious trauma, or reconnecting with your faith in a healthier way, I hold space for all of it. Therapy should be a place where all parts of you are welcomed, and I’m here to help you navigate that journey with compassion and clarity.

My Story & Why I Get It

I’m not just a therapist—I’m also someone who has done the work to heal from my own experiences with emotionally immature parents. I grew up in an immigrant household where strength was valued over sensitivity, and where survival often came before emotional support. I’ve navigated burnout, people-pleasing, and the pressure to be "perfect." But through deep inner work, I found emotional freedom—and now, I help my clients do the same.

Alongside therapy, I create digital resources, workshops, and online content to educate and empower others on emotional healing. I also train and supervise new therapists, helping them build confidence and clinical expertise in trauma work.

Why Work With Me?

You want a therapist who gets it. I understand the unspoken struggles of navigating family dynamics, cultural expectations, and breaking toxic cycles.

You’re tired of just talking about your problems—you want real change. My sessions are focused on healing at the root level, so you stop repeating the same patterns.

You want a mix of depth, humor, and empowerment. Healing is serious work, but I also believe in making therapy approachable, relatable, and even a little fun.

You’re ready to invest in your emotional fitness. You’ve spent years surviving—now, it’s time to thrive.
