Today we’d like to introduce you to Oluwafunto David Awoyemi.
Hi Oluwafunto David, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
My passion for psychotherapy and criminology began when I was just 12 years old. During my childhood, I was drawn to psychological thrillers, which sparked my curiosity about mental health diagnoses, effective therapeutic interventions, and the deeper question: Why do people do the things they do? This early interest led me to pursue a major in Psychology and minor in Criminology in college. After earning my bachelor’s degree, I went on to complete a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health at Mercer University. This fall, I will begin my Ph.D. in Counselor Education and Supervision, with the goal of contributing to the field through research and eventually teaching the next generation of mental health professionals. The journey hasn’t always been easy, but it has been deeply rewarding.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
The road has been far from smooth. I’ve faced challenges I never could have imagined. Coming from a Nigerian background, where success is often defined by three traditional professions, it was difficult for my parents to understand my desire to pursue a career in mental health. Initially, there was resistance, but over time, my passion and unwavering commitment helped them see the value in the path I chose. Through it all, God has been incredibly faithful. My journey is a testament to anyone whose dreams are being questioned or discouraged. With perseverance, faith, and determination, it is absolutely possible to achieve your goals—no matter how unconventional they may seem.

Who else deserves credit in your story?
Several individuals in my life have played a pivotal role in my journey, and I am deeply grateful for their unwavering support. However, most importantly, I give all glory and credit to God. Without Him, I would not be where I am today. He has blessed me with a profound gift—the ability to help others heal, grow, and live lives filled with purpose, meaning and a “renewed mindset”. For that, He deserves all the praise!!!
