Welcome to The Relationship Space Therapy!
I am so glad that you’re here!
Let me introduce myself, my name is Shade Adekunle (pronounced like Sade the singer) and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor–aka a licensed therapist. I have spent the past decade in the field of mental health helping people live healthier lives, whether that was through addiction or breast cancer research, and I found that what has been integral to someone’s health was actually the health of their relationships. In fact, a decade-long Harvard study just concluded that solid friendships and close relationships are huge indicators of life satisfaction and longevity.
Which is why I started TRST. This is where you will find a better understanding of your relationship with yourself and the people in your life, so that you can treat yourself with the love, care, and compassion you deserve. This is also where romantic partners, siblings, co-workers, and family members can improve the dynamics of their relationship to improve communication, connection, and trust.
TRST is the place to go if you are someone who is looking to:
Learn how to practice self-compassion and self-acceptance
Identify and communicate your needs after years of pushing them away
Heal from stories where you believed you are not good enough
Develop a closer romantic relationship with your partner
Develop secure attachment in your relationships
Learn healthy communication strategies in your partnership
Experience a deeper understanding of your partner and their needs
I want each person I work with to walk out of my office with the tools to live a life according to their values and for so many people, including living a life full of strong relationships. I am honored at the possibility of working together and am excited to meet you.
