I use coping skills such as deep breathing and exercise (especially walking) for recurrent anxious feelings. I try to inhale for about 5 seconds and exhale for 7 seconds- doing this technique helps my body shift toward a calmer state. I try to exercise 3 times a week for 30 minutes- during exercise, I talk positively to myself (e.g. I can do it. I'm strong). Using motivation helps me achieve my goals and reduces my anxious feelings.
My name is Fadeke Oladeji, and I am a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP). I earned my Master of Science in Psychiatric-Mental Health Nursing from Walden University, and I am board certified and licensed to provide mental health care across the lifespan. I have experience caring for populations with a wide range of mental health conditions in outpatient clinics, community mental health, substance use clinics, primary care, and telehealth settings. Prior to obtaining my nurse practitioner license, I worked as a registered nurse in the emergency room, primary care, and mental health outpatient/inpatient settings.
As a PMHNP, I provide psychiatric evaluations, diagnoses (depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, bipolar disorder, insomnia, ADHD), medication management, patient education, and supportive care with evidence-based treatment.
I have a strong belief in treating individuals by considering biological, psychological, and social factors, partnering with patients on treatment plans that align with their goals. I'm committed to a safe, respectful, nonjudgmental environment where patients feel heard and supported. I look forward to collaborating with patients to achieve great outcomes.

Loneliness counseling is a specialized form of therapy focused on helping individuals navigate the emotional challenges and isolation associated with persistent loneliness. Counselors and therapists at Thriveworks in Baltimore, MD create a supportive and understanding environment where clients can delve into the root causes of their loneliness and develop strategies to establish meaningful social connections.
Loneliness counseling employs a multifaceted approach, utilizing Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques to reframe your negative thought patterns, enhance communication, and improve social skills. It also incorporates interpersonal therapy to address relationship patterns, and mindfulness practices to manage feelings of loneliness and self-criticism. Goal-setting is also encouraged to help you actively pursue social connections and community engagement. Through these techniques, loneliness therapy empowers individuals to overcome isolation, develop meaningful relationships, and enhance their overall emotional well-being.
Thriveworks loneliness counseling in Baltimore, MD is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Loneliness counseling can take different amounts of time. It depends on how lonely a person is and how they’re doing in counseling. Normally, it involves many sessions that last from a few weeks to a few months. The exact number of sessions and how long it takes are determined with the loneliness counselor’s input.
Feeling lonely and / or socially isolated can lead to feelings of hopelessness. This can lead to physical pain in the body, suicidal thinking, substance abuse, and depression. People dealing with loneliness can have issues sleeping, can lose or increase their appetite, and can be irritable. There is a bright side though: there are solutions, of which a loneliness counselor at Thriveworks Baltimore, MD can help you find. Reach out to us today for help.
You can’t move forward to tomorrow if you don’t acknowledge where you are today. While it’s normal to feel frustrated, angry, or embarrassed by your feelings of loneliness, remember that everyone feels lonely once in a while. However, for many people, these feelings are solved by ending their social isolation. For others, it doesn’t go away on its own.
The first step is to admit that you’re lonely and that you can’t get better without help. There is nothing wrong with that. When anyone runs across something they don’t have the tools to battle on their own, the first step they should take is to head to the experts for expert advice.
However, we also understand that it’s not that easy – for a number of reasons. When a person is socially isolated it can become difficult to admit that they actually do need people around. For those who aren’t socially isolated but are just lonely, it can feel insulting to friends and family to admit that they’re lonely even with them around. It can feel like there must be something wrong with them if they’re lonely with so much love in their lives.
Don’t get caught up in the idea that you should just get over your loneliness. There are many underlying causes that can lead to this option. Most steps you can take on your own are nothing more than a Band-Aid – they might help for a while but eventually the situation will get worse.
That’s where Thriveworks Baltimore loneliness counseling comes in. We can help you find the right solutions for your unique needs. In addition, we offer convenient help: We offer evening and weekend sessions, accept most major insurances, and can often get new clients in for their first appointment within the same week as scheduling. Reach out today to get started.
