About Nosa Obaseki

Are you dealing with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship issues, work stress, or a difficult life transition? Life can be difficult and sometimes you encounter obstacles that are overwhelming, or you feel under-equipped to handle. You may be struggling and feel like you are alone, but I am here to help. I believe that therapy should be a collaborative experience between the client and the therapist. Therapy is a journey of self-discovery, understanding and acceptance. My job as a therapist is to be your guide on this journey, providing you with the tools to help you become the best version of yourself.

I completed my BS in Psychology from Eastern Michigan University and earned my Master’s in Clinical Psychology from the Michigan School of Psychology. My experience includes working with adolescents and adults in an outpatient setting. I approach therapy through an existential-humanistic lens that focuses on a person’s culture and life experiences, and not just their thoughts and behaviors.

I believe that effective therapy requires mutual respect and understanding. I am committed to providing a safe space where you feel comfortable sharing your thoughts and feelings, allowing me to better understand your world and lived experiences. My goal is to help you develop better self-awareness so that you can engage in positive change, experience significant growth, and live a more fulfilling life.

Unique Approach to Therapy

Connecting with each client is a vital part of my practice, unlike some providers in mental health, I view each person as important and not just “a number“. I find that checking in regularly with clients about their goals and current satisfaction helps foster a trusting client/provider relationship focused on individual growth. Also, I find it important to work with each person in identifying any barriers that may be present which could hinder therapy and medication from “doing their job“. I firmly believe that positive mental health and well-being does not happen in “a vacuum”, but many factors affect this, therefore a holistic approach is required to achieve lasting results.
