About Us

About me

Ochuko Oboh, MSW, RSW

I am a Mental Health Therapist and Registered Social Worker with a passion for helping individuals and couples achieve their goals and overcome life’s challenges. I believe that everyone has the capacity to grow and change, and to lead a fulfilling life, but sometimes need a little support and guidance to get there, and my role as a therapist is to help facilitate that process.

 

Therapy is not one size fits all, and each person brings their unique experiences, strengths, and challenges to the therapeutic process. That’s why I work collaboratively with my clients to develop a customized treatment plan that is tailored to their unique needs and goals. At the heart of my approach is a deep respect for each person’s unique journey and lived experience.
