Therapy for Authors & Writers
Outside of my work as a therapist, I have learned so much about myself and the world around me through reading. I have attended and hosted many author talks and the one topic that always comes up is mental health. In an effort to blend my two worlds together, I am expanding my practice to work with authors. There’s a lot that comes with being a writer and an author, especially writers and authors of color and I am dedicated to being a support system and a safe space.
This service is for you if:
- You're feeling anxious about your book release
- Struggling with triggers in your writing
- Struggling to manage creative burnout
- Want to prioritize yourself and your mental health
Working with me looks like:
Gaining support and tools to help with your writing and any creative blocks that may come up
A supportive and safe space to help you navigate through any tough feelings or memories that may come up through writing
A non judgmental space to help you navigate the publishing world, book tours, social media and criticism
A safe space to prioritize yourself outside of your work and feel taken care of mentally and emotionally

About me
My name is Wale Okerayi LMHC, LPC and I am a licensed mental health counselor working with folks in New York, Texas, and Florida. I have a double Masters degree in mental health counseling from Teachers College Columbia University and have 6 years of clinical experience.
I have been able to tie my love of reading and mental health by hosting author talks and by hosting a podcast called Kindred Sessions in partnership with the best bookstore in the world, Kindred Stories.
