About Me
The mind set of a man determines the outcome of his life and the quality of relationships he enjoys. Hence the need for us to guard and nurture our minds with the best of cutting edge science and faith tools.
Dr Mobolaji Oyebanjo Popoola
My name is Dr. Mobolaji Oyebanjo-Popoola, Many people call me "Dr. O" I am a Christian Psychiatrist, who has been married to my dear husband for over two decades and we are blessed with three children. After Medical School , I completed four years of residency training at the University of Missouri Kansas City, Missouri. Afterwards I pursued further training in the field of Addiction Medicine. I am a Board Certified Psychiatrist and Addiction Specialist. I also recently completed further training in Global Mental Health, with a focus on trauma in women and children from Harvard School of Medicine. I am the Medical Director of two thriving out patient clinics in Metro Atlanta and outskirt.
After years of working with numerous patients from all walks of life, using "state of the art" medical interventions, it became apparent that at the root of most life issues are interpersonal and intra personal conflicts. Interpersonal conflict is about relationship with ones self, self love, self worth, self care, self esteem issues and identity crisis. Conflict within ones soul, tend to lead to emotional issues such as anxiety, depression, addiction, eating disorders and stress. The other issue interpersonal conflict; relationship issues with with other people, the most significant relationships being the marriage relationship, be it as a participant ( Spouse ) or as an offspring (Child) or as a parent . Many people I know, suffer as a result of issues in their current or past marriages or issues in their upbringing as children.
The other important aspect of our life is our mindset. The mindset of a man determines the outcome of his life and the quality of relationships he enjoys. Hence the need for us to guard and nurture our minds with the best of cutting edge science and faith tools.
After working on numerous conflict in people's marriages and mindset, it has become apparent that God 's grace and directives are needed to have the most favorable outcome as God is the creator of the institution of marriage and He has clear guidelines to help us overcome our struggles, succeed, and enjoy the union of marriage. Many good people suffer when marriages break up and I hope to address issues surrounding, the Christian marriage, the "marriage curse", the "reversal" of the marriage curse, Christian courtship, Christian divorce, Christian fertility issues, Christian domestic violence, post divorce restoration, communication in marriage single parenting and caregiving, mental health wellness, sibling rivalry, addiction and other issues in details . I hope to address these issues on my radio show, interviews with Christian Professional Clinicians, Clergy, testimonies, blogs, seminars, workshops and retreats.
As regards to our mindset, in all my years as a physician/ psychiatrist , modern medicine while very helpful, has failed in some instances to sufficiently address certain aspects of the human mind and emotions crucial to our total well being such as forgiveness, restoration, self esteem, identity, our past shame, regrets, peace and hope. These aspects of our mental well being are well addressed by Jesus and the Bible. I have found the Bible a very useful tool in my life and the lives of people around me. I use the Bible a lot when trying to understand the human mind and the root of our struggles in conjunction with my medical training. The creator of our mind also endowed our minds with creativity, and imagination so much so that He said what ever the mind imagines to do, it will do.
“And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.”
Genesis 11:6 KJV
Did you know Jesus came to to heal our broken hearted therefore He is our SHRINK
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,”

Do you know that the GRACE of Christ is sufficient for you in all situations even in our weaknesses and struggles?
“And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.”
2 Corinthians 12:9 KJV
