About me

I I’m a licensed therapist in New Jersey with 19 years of experience helping individuals and couples navigate life’s challenges with clarity and compassion. My work focuses on supporting clients through stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship concerns, and anger management.
In couples therapy, I help partners rebuild trust, deepen emotional intimacy, and strengthen communication—especially when navigating complex issues like betrayal, cultural differences, or long-standing conflict.
I believe healing begins with feeling truly seen and heard. Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling life takes courage, and I’m here to walk alongside you with respect, insight, and unwavering support.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Olayinka "Mary" Akeju. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Regain might be different.

Mary has been very reliable and personable. She encourages us to open up and discuss what may be triggering our behaviors today. I've had the opportunity to open up and think about my past, present, and future. I recommend her for seeking guidance into yourself and your partner!
