Ajoke Ayinde
Graduate Intern
My name is Ajoke Ayinde, and I am currently pursuing my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Houston Christian University. I also hold a Bachelor of Arts in English from the University of Lagos Nigeria . Before transitioning into the counseling field, I worked in healthcare as a Certified Nursing Assistant, where I gained valuable experience supporting individuals through various physical and emotional challenges.
Throughout my academic and professional journey, I have developed a deep appreciation for the role of therapy in promoting emotional healing, personal growth, and mental wellness. I believe that therapy creates a sacred space where individuals can be heard, understood, and empowered to navigate life’s complexities with greater resilience. I’m particularly drawn to the integration of faith and clinical practice, and I value the opportunity to walk alongside clients as they work toward hope, clarity, and inner peace.
I am committed to creating a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore their concerns and work toward meaningful change.
