She/Her/Hers
Clinical Therapist
Welcome! I’m Tessy Adakre, a licensed social worker in Dayton, Ohio. I proudly hold both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Social Work from Indiana Wesleyan University.
With a nurturing and empathetic approach, I am committed to assisting individuals in overcoming life’s difficulties with clarity, confidence, and resilience. With five years of experience in mental health counseling, my expertise lies in areas such as anxiety, trauma recovery, depression, relationship dynamics, self-esteem, life transitions, etc. I utilize various therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Therapy, etc, while tailoring each session to meet the unique needs of my clients. I strive to create a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment for self-exploration and healing.
I view therapy as a collaborative journey where healing unfolds through deep understanding, meaningful connections, and practical strategies. You are the expert in your own life, and my role is to offer guidance, insight, and support as you discover your strengths and navigate your challenges. My goal is to empower my clients with self-awareness, practical coping strategies, and a renewed sense of purpose.
If you’re ready to embark on a path of healing and self-discovery, I am here to support you every step of the way.
