Funmto Ogunbanwo, M.S, NCC

Lead Clinical Psychotherapist & Founder

Hello! I’m Funmto.

I’m a Clinical Psychotherapist and the founder of Ibi Ayo Therapy and Wellness Limited. Thank you for considering us for your mental health care needs.

As a trauma therapist, I make it my priority to offer a safe and grounded environment that allows for us to explore all aspects of life - past, present and future. I practice from a trauma focused and client-centered approach and often incorporate somatic and narrative techniques. Some of my areas of expertise include:

  • Trauma related concerns

  • Anxiety and perfectionism

  • Depression

  • Self-esteem related issues

  • Life transitions

I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and Communication from Austin College in Sherman, TX and a Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Southern Methodist University, Dallas, TX.

I am also a National Certified Counselor (NCC) in the US and have experience providing services across different settings such as partial hospitalization settings, residential treatment centers and outpatient treatment settings. I see my role as someone who walks alongside you in your current life season and it would be an honour to support on the journey to you.

Outside of sessions, you' are likely to catch me doing one or more of the following: watching random YouTube videos, listening to music (chill R&B is my vibe), spending quality time with loved ones and caring for my plants.

Maryam Oke

Operations and Administrative Assistant

Hi! I'm Maryam.

I’m the Operations Assistant here at Ibi Ayo Therapy and Wellness. As an Operations Assistant, my role encompasses various administrative duties essential to the smooth functioning of our organization. This includes managing schedules, coordinating appointments, handling correspondence, and assisting with day-to-day operations.

Outside of my professional responsibilities, I hold a bachelor's degree in health sciences, which has equipped me with a solid foundation in understanding human health and well-being. I am particularly fascinated by the human mind and how individuals think, which has sparked my interest in pursuing a career in psychology and, ideally, neurosurgery in the future.

Beyond my responsibilities as an Operations Assistant, I am deeply passionate about mental health advocacy and regularly volunteer for related causes. In my free time, I enjoy delving into psychological thrillers for entertainment, exploring the depths of poetry, and occasionally expressing my thoughts through writing. Additionally, I am actively engaged in expanding my linguistic horizons and am currently learning Spanish, driven by my fascination with foreign languages and cultures.
