“Excellent”

“Very understanding and helpful”

“He really listens and cares”

“I had went to therapy in my home town and it wasn't for me. So it was hard for me to bring myself back to therapy. Dr. Popoola was a breath of fresh air and wasn't just a therapist but a person that cared. He was really easy to connect with and I feel I have been making great progress in a very short period of time. He also has identified things in my past that I didn't think we're having an effect on my current state of health. Dr. Popoola is a great person and would recommend him to others.”

“Dr. Popoola, is great. 5 stars, he will challenge you to be your best. He will encourage you to grow and call out the truths in your life. He requests that you work towards growth. He won’t take responsibility for your growth, but he will help to provide you with tools to grow.”

“I appreciate having a therapist that is culturally appropriate for me. It helps with connecting issues and giving feedback in an appropriate way. We can often find common ground and I never leave a session thinking my therapist doesn't understand me or what I am trying to communicate.”

“I feel a lot better since talking to my therapist.”

“Great guy! Lots of helpful tips! Thank you.”

“Kind, respectful, expert in what he does. Has helped me get through and see through dark times in my life. Thank you”

“Extremely helpful”

“He is a great listener and really cares for his patients!”

“He continues to work with me and meet my expectations. He is clear on what is expected of me and my sessions with him have been nothing but a positive influence on my life.”

“Dr. Popoola has me so much lately with the passing of my dad and is helping deal with anxiety”

“He has been willing to work with me on every issue I've presented. However, he's made it a key point to understand my role in my own mental health and life improvement. I am very happy with the results I've been able to achieve so far with his guidance.”

“Great Therapist!”
