Why see a Yoruba-speaking therapist (Yorùbá)
There are feelings that only land right in your mother tongue. When you're describing grief, shame, family pressure or the knot of anxiety you carry to work, having to first convert it into English can quietly change what you're able to say — and what your therapist hears. Seeing a Yoruba-speaking therapist means you can move between English and Yoruba the way you naturally do, without losing the meaning in between.
This matters most for the things that are hard to name. Ideas like “ìtìjú” or the sense that “ọkàn mi kò balẹ̀” don't have clean English equivalents, and a therapist who shares the language already understands the context behind them — the extended-family expectations, the spiritual framing many of us grew up with, the difference between privacy and secrecy in a Nigerian home. You spend less time explaining the background and more time working through what brought you here.
Every therapist listed here is licensed and verified. They support anxiety, depression, relationship and marriage challenges, grief, work stress, trauma and more, and you can meet them by video, voice or chat — whichever feels safe. Sessions are private; nothing you share is passed on to your family, employer or anyone else.
If you're not sure who to pick, start with whoever's approach and availability fit your week. You can read each therapist's background, specialties and rates below, and book a first session in a few minutes.

Good to know
Yoruba-speaking therapy: common questions
Will my session actually be in Yoruba?
Yes. The therapists listed here speak Yoruba, so you can hold the session in Yoruba, in English, or move between the two the way you naturally would. If you have a preference, mention it when you book.
Do I have to speak only Yoruba?
No. Most people code-switch between Yoruba and English, and that's completely fine. Use whichever language carries what you're trying to say in the moment.
How do the sessions happen?
You choose video, voice or chat when you book. All three are private and happen inside the Mytherapist.ng app, so you don't need to travel anywhere.
Is it confidential?
Yes. Your sessions and anything you share are confidential and are not disclosed to family, employers or anyone else without your consent.
How much does it cost?
Each therapist sets their own rate, shown on their profile below. You can compare prices and availability before you book.
