shola adebusuyi, LICSW, LCSW-C.
Hi, I’m Shola — a licensed therapist, clinical supervisor, and believer in the kind of healing that honors your whole story. My work is grounded in both evidence-based techniques and liberatory, culturally rooted practices. Translation? I bring the clinical chops and the soul work.
Clients come to me when they’re tired of shrinking, tired of performing, and ready to reconnect with who they are — not just who they’ve been told to be. Whether we’re navigating anxiety, grief, identity shifts, or generational patterns, our work together will center your voice, your values, and your pace.
As a supervisor, I support emerging therapists in owning their growth while staying grounded in ethics, cultural humility, and self-reflection. We don’t just talk about cases — we talk about you, the healer, and how you’re being shaped by the work.
Therapy with me is warm, affirming, and a little rebellious. We don’t do perfection here. Just presence, curiosity, and change that lasts.

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
Make sure your healthcare provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your healthcare provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 1-800-985-3059.
