About Wajoko Therapy
Wajoko Therapy was created to offer support that fits real life for parents and families. It is a practice rooted in perinatal mental health and shaped by real world experience working alongside people during major life transitions into parenthood.
The name Wajoko comes from the Yoruba phrase Wá jókòó, meaning "come and sit down." It is an invitation to pause, breathe, and have a place where you do not have to hold everything together. That idea guides the way care is offered. The space is calm, supportive, and grounded in listening without pressure or urgency.
Support is provided in your home to remove as many barriers as possible. Each visit can include a two person team made up of a perinatal mental health therapist and a childcare specialist. While your child is cared for nearby, you have the space to focus fully on yourself. This model is meant to make support more realistic and accessible for parents whose energy and time are already stretched.
Our Mission
Wajoko Therapy exists to make support more accessible, compassionate, and real for people navigating the transition into parenthood. Care is not only for moments of crisis. It is also for the days when you feel overwhelmed, exhausted, unsure of yourself, or simply trying to stay afloat.
The goal is to provide a steady space for honest conversation, emotional grounding, and practical help. You do not have to carry everything alone.

About Anne
Hi, I am Anne Olamide. I am a licensed mental health professional with over ten years of experience supporting individuals and families across a variety of settings. My clinical focus is perinatal mental health and the emotional realities that can come with becoming a parent.
Many people expect this season to feel natural or joyful all the time. When it does not, they can feel confused or alone. I work with parents who are navigating anxiety, sadness, identity shifts, relationship changes, and the pressure to hold it all together.
My approach is warm, direct, and grounded in meeting you where you are. There is no expectation to have the right words or a clear plan. We start with what feels heavy and move at a pace that feels manageable.
Working Together
Therapy at Wajoko is not one size fits all. Every person arrives with a different story, different stressors, and a different relationship to their body and emotions. My role is not to fix you, but to work alongside you in a way that feels supportive, practical, and grounded.
I use an integrative, client centered approach that draws from several therapeutic frameworks, including mindfulness practices, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution Focused Therapy. Rather than following a rigid model, we choose what is most helpful for you and adjust as your needs change.
Our work often includes both the mind and the body. This may involve building awareness around thought patterns, gently working with emotions as they show up, or using voice and movement when words alone feel insufficient. The goal is to help shift patterns that feel stuck or overwhelming and create more space for calm, clarity, and self trust.
Your care is always collaborative and paced with intention. There is no pressure to perform, explain everything perfectly, or move faster than feels right. Therapy here is meant to meet you where you are and grow with you over time.
