I use evidence-based approaches like CBT, reality therapy and EMDR to help you manage anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, and self-esteem concerns.
Life can feel overwhelming when you’re managing stress, trauma, or relationship challenges without support. You may be coping with anxiety, depression, low motivation, or patterns that may feel hard to break. If you’re tired of trying to push through on your own, I can help you gain clarity, build coping strategies, and reconnect with your strengths. My name is Bisola Duyile, Ph.D., I am a licensed professional counselor, and I specialize in working with adults who are navigating trauma, relationship stress, ADHD-related challenges, or feeling stuck and disconnected in their lives.

I am a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist who utilizes mind-body techniques (meditation, mindfulness) as well as hypnosis.
Life is a field of unlimited possibilities. Are you ready to begin exploring? I believe we are all here to help one another learn and grow. I would be honored to be a part of your journey. I specialize in anxiety disorders because this is an area that I know intimately. I once had really bad anxiety and panics attacks. I learned to overcome them and they are now a distant memory. I would like to show you how this can be true for you as well. I offer flexible scheduling with options that include evenings and weekends for my DC clients. Go to the scheduling link to get started.

I use evidence-based methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ( CBT), trauma-informed care, and mindfulness techniques.
I create a warm and steady therapeutic space for individuals who feel overwhelmed, emotionally burdened, or disconnected from themselves after carrying too much alone. Many of the women, caregivers, and families I support are navigating grief, relational stress, identity transitions, or the lasting impact of developmental trauma. Our work focuses on slowing the pace, strengthening insight, and building sustainable tools for healing, stability, and growth. I believe meaningful therapy begins with safety, attunement, and feeling genuinely understood.

My goal is to care for the whole person by teaching the individual coping skills to handle stressors caused by medically, mentally, or spiritually challenged life. Are your health issues or that of a loved one weighing you down and interfering with your relationships? You can have PEACE of mind and JOY even amid these challenges. Working as a Nurse/Midwife was fulfilling. Currently, applying psychotherapy to the nurse/midwife experience is impressive, and working with a Doctor of Professional Counseling (DPC) degree is like icing on the cake. I love what I do. I make well-informed decisions about caring for my clients.

I draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and the Gottman Methods to support individuals and couples, respectively.
I work with individuals and couples who feel emotionally stuck; caught in patterns they understand intellectually, but can’t seem to shift in real life. Many of my clients are high-functioning, thoughtful, and deeply invested in growth, yet find themselves overwhelmed by relationship strain, emotional disconnection, betrayal, or the quiet exhaustion of carrying too much for too long. Whether you’re coming in on your own or with a partner, my goal is to help you slow things down, make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface, and begin responding with intention rather than survival.

The journey toward healing begins with a safe space to be truly heard. I provide compassionate, individualized therapy for children, adolescents, and families navigating social, emotional, and behavioral challenges. Many clients face life transitions such as relocation, adoption, identity exploration, body image concerns, or loss, which can contribute to anxiety or depression. Using a trauma-informed, solution-focused approach, I help clients build coping skills, resilience, and insight. My goal is to create a nurturing, collaborative environment where clients feel empowered to grow and create meaningful change.

My ideal clients are growth-oriented adults who are starting to connect the dots between how they grew up and how they show up now. They're often navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, or a persistent sense that something is off, and they're beginning to suspect the roots go deeper than right now. Many of them have always been the responsible one, the peacekeeper, the one who knew how to read the room. They're self-aware and motivated, and not looking for someone to just validate them. They want to actually understand themselves and make real changes.

Through individual psychotherapy sessions, I support women navigating relationship anxiety, heartbreak, life transitions, emotional overwhelm, low self-worth, and depressed mood rooted in past relational wounds. This work is for the woman who appears strong on the outside yet quietly carries anxiety, emotional heaviness, or disconnection within. The woman who overthinks conversations, fears being “too much,” craves deep love, yet struggles to feel emotionally safe in relationships while navigating heartbreak, loneliness, transitions, or losing herself while trying to be chosen.
