You learned to push down your emotions and just make it through long ago…
Maybe you've tried talking about your needs, only to have your concerns brushed aside. Attempting to dodge painful memories and putting others first has left you feeling drained. You might have even started distancing yourself from people with the hopes that the more distance you make, the easier it’ll be to live your life authentically.
Some days, you are actually able to convince yourself that things are ok…but…
If you’re being completely honest, the strategies you’ve been using are not bringing the relief you hoped for. And when you add the stress of juggling daily life, family expectations, intergenerational traumas, and complex relationships, it starts to feel like the weight of the world is on your shoulders and there’s no relief.
you are at the right place if you’re tired of…
Struggling through your relationships, unsure of how to fix the issues
Living Unhappy, unfulfilled, unsettled, and asking “Is it me?”

Lately, your days seem to be filled with worrying and overthinking. You hyperfocus on how others behave towards you and create stories of what they think about you, even without ever fully engaging. You’ve been living in the stories rather than reality and you feel like your thoughts remove you from the real experiences you want.
Sometimes, you disregard your own needs, feelings, or wants because you’ve invalidated them for so long. You've perfected your inner critic voice after years of experience hearing criticism from others... Maybe your parents did it, your friends did it, society normalized it too…
You have started to think of a possibility of experiencing life differently and are ready for change.

Hi, I’m Dr.Tofunmi Oni, founder of Adorn Therapy Services. After years of hearing advice like “just focus on yourself” from well-meaning sources who may not fully grasp the nuanced challenges of self-discovery within deeply rooted family, cultural, and societal expectations—and experiencing the power of my own cultural identities minimized in therapeutic settings—I recognized that the journey toward healing in communities of color is both complex and unique. The significant effort it takes to ease the stress and pain tied to our experiences, harness our power, while building and maintaining healthy relationships in all parts of our life, requires an approach that truly understands and respects this complexity. We’re here to provide that support.
Healing from past traumas and changing unhelpful patterns in relationships can be tough; no one ever taught us how to do it. That's why having culturally responsive therapists by your side, someone skilled in their field and experienced in your specific challenges, is crucial. As a virtual practice serving individuals and couples in MD, D.C., VA, OH, and nationwide, Adorn Therapy Services was established to support clients like you who are seeking to deepen insight and under yourself, heal relational wounds, and be re-empowered to change the parts of your life that are causing pain. Our professionals specialize in multicultural integrative approaches to help you navigate this complex journey of healing and growth. We are excited to embark on the journey with you.
