Hi, I’m shola adebusuyi, LICSW, LCSW-C.

I’m a Clinical Social Worker, therapist and Founder of We Go High who gets it—life can be a LOT. I’m here to help you navigate anxiety, depression, those big (and sometimes messy) life transitions, career burnout, and even the weight of substance use challenges. I also walk alongside those managing chronic health conditions or life-threatening illnesses because no one should have to face it alone. I’m all about prioritizing YOU—teaching real self-care (beyond bubble baths) and giving you tools to handle stress. Let’s protect your peace, strengthen your relationships, and help you thrive—because you deserve nothing less.
