Years ago whilst dealing with some health issues that affected me both mentally and physically a mentor/counsellor told me to “change my thoughts, in order to change my world. Because my present circumstances at the time did not determine were I go, but where I started.” Hence, I do understand how mental and physical struggles can impact one’s life and that admitting to those struggles and asking for help is never easy. Hence, as a therapist with lived-experiences, I am here to walk alongside you on the journey to healing and restoration.
I have a good understanding of addiction, underlying causes and treatment practices. Knowledgeable of mental health illness, symptoms and treatments. Lived experience with health issues that can may and can affect one’s mental health. I offer Couples and Individual therapy. I work from a mindfulness and trauma informed perspective.

Trauma is defined as an emotional response to a terrible event, however this definition does not encompass all of the undertakings you may be experiencing. Trauma can occur from family generations, a close friend’s experience, or seeing something on the media that affects us deeply. Your trauma will not look the same as another person’s and that’s okay. If you are looking to process and heal from the heavy weight of trauma, through a collaborative effort, I can help you unpack your story to be able to move forward. I am a therapist and yoga instructor who helps individuals from a holistic perspective with a combined experience of 8 years using various intervention models that best suit the individual I am working with. Having worked with many neurodiverse individuals I recognize that this is not a one size fits all model and my current focus incorporates an emphasis on mindfulness and being gentle with ourselves to promote healing through. I use an integrative approach that combines talk therapy and actionable steps from a variety of approaches such as Existentialism, Behavioural, Mindfulness, DBT and Internal Family Systems therapy to understand who you are and the best process to help you heal on your journey. The two tenets that guide my work are the ideas that everyone deserves care and respect and that my role is to help you, the expert on your own life, solve the problems and overcome the obstacles that are holding you back from achieving the best version of yourself. I am available for online and phone sessions. Email me today to receive your free consultation where we can determine if I am the best fit for you and what you need to connect to your best self.

Adijat Bunmi Adekunle (she/her) is a Mental Health Therapist and the Clinical Director of Heartfire Medicine. Adi co-founded Heartfire after a decade of determined, uncompromising effort to provide clinical mental health counselling for underserved groups and individuals like BIPOC, 2SLGBTQIIA+, and Muslim communities in Saskatchewan. The path to directing a private practice was paved for Adi in countless experiences of prejudice, microaggressions, performative allyship, and “culturally competent” or “culturally informed” professionals, rather than ones who were culturally humble or appreciative. She doesn’t only understand the imperatives for mental health professionals working with BIPOC clients — she’s also intimately familiar with the struggles as a client, and seeker of support as a Black Woman herself. She has spent her career holding space for non-judgemental acceptance, compassionate patience, and an intersectional approach to the traumas of oppression, especially in our BIPOC, Queer, and Trans communities. Sitting down with Adijat, or participating in a Heartfire Learning experience, means a safe place to collaborate, determine goals, and empower not just yourself, but your community and beyond. Her areas of focus include racial and cultural safety, gender and sexual diversity, intergenerational trauma and anxiety, especially in teens and children. Adijat holds a Master’s in Social Work from Dalhousie University, a Bachelor’s in Social Work from the University of Regina, and a Bachelor’s in Psychology from the University of Saskatchewan.

I’m a Registered Social Worker in Ontario. I’m most passionate about empowering folks who were marginalized. I have over 15 years of experience in the mental health field. My career has been devoted to helping individuals, couples, families, and groups with their mental health needs. I provide counselling services to those who are struggling with life’s challenges. I specialize in cognitive-behavioural therapy and mindfulness-based stress reduction approaches to promote emotional well-being.
I strive to provide a safe space for clients to explore their innermost thoughts and feelings so they can gain insight into their behaviour patterns and make positive changes in their lives.
Life is an ever-ongoing process of development, including understanding who we are. But we often feel a sense of shame when we experience life shifts, particularly in our communities where change is often perceived as a threat.
I want to help folks see that change is a sign of growth and progress. My goal is to help my clients find balance, peace, and joy through self-compassion and understanding.
