Daija
Psychotherapist
Hi, I’m Daija — a therapist who believes healing begins with feeling seen, heard, and supported. I strive to create a space where you can show up as your full self, explore what’s been weighing on you, and move toward the version of you that feels most at peace.
My approach is grounded in mindfulness and trauma-informed care. I help clients slow down, reconnect with their emotions, and develop practical tools for balance, clarity, and self-compassion. I often draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)-informed techniques and strength-based practices to encourage growth that extends beyond the therapy room.
Before beginning private practice, I worked in community-based and in-home settings, supporting youth, adults, and families through life transitions, anxiety, trauma, and relationship challenges. These experiences taught me the power of empathy, collaboration, and consistency in creating lasting change.
I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and dual bachelor’s degrees in Criminal Justice and Social Work from North Carolina Central University. I’m also certified in Adult and Youth Mental Health First Aid and trained in grief support, diversity, and unconscious bias.
At the heart of my work is the belief that everyone has the capacity to heal and grow when met with compassion and understanding. My role is to walk beside you as you rediscover your confidence, your voice, and your peace.

Toyin
Psychotherapist
Hi, I’m Toyin! I’m a compassionate, down-to-earth therapist who is passionate about helping individuals and families navigate life’s challenges with honesty, courage, and support. My approach is rooted in trauma-informed care, CBT, DBT, and a deep belief that healing becomes possible when you feel safe, seen, and understood.
Throughout my career, I’ve worked with children, teens, and adults facing anxiety, depression, behavioral challenges, trauma, grief, and life transitions. I’ve facilitated individual therapy, completed Comprehensive Clinical Assessments, supported after-school coping skills programs, and provided grief support to families in hospice settings. I bring a calm, steady presence into the therapy space, and my goal is for clients to feel heard, grounded, and empowered during every session.
I am especially passionate about supporting clients as they heal from trauma, strengthen their coping skills, and reconnect with their sense of purpose and emotional balance. I believe in meeting people where they are and walking alongside them at a pace that feels safe and respectful.
I received my Master of Social Work from Walden University and my Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Saint Augustine’s University.
At Mindfully At Peace, I am honored to hold space for your growth while encouraging you to tap into your inner strength, resilience, and capacity for transformation.
