Osaze Ibhawa didn't originally plan to be a counselor. But after discovering psychology in college, he found his calling! Eventually, he brought that calling right here to Jamestown. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor at Urban Mental Health Counseling Services, Osaze works with individuals facing anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, and more. In this episode of Let's Talk CHQ, he opens up about his path from Nigeria to Chautauqua County, what it means to provide mental health care in a small community, and how to take that first step toward getting help.
