Adetola Grillo, PhD.

Adetola is a psychologist registered with the College of Psychologists Ontario. She works with adults with a diversity of concerns, applying primarily cognitive-behavioural theories and interventions as well as other relevant therapeutic approaches. Adetola received her PhD in Clinical Psychology from Redeemer’s University, southwestern Nigeria. She had her pre-doctoral training at the Neuropsychiatric Hospital Abeokuta and the Nigerian Prison Service Agodi, both in southwestern Nigeria. Her supervised practice (2021-2023) to become licensed in Ontario was with CBT Associates. She also has a master’s degree in International Health & Management from the University of Aberdeen, Scotland. Over the course of her career, she has also worked as a research fellow at Nipissing University; an administrator in the private sector and as a data officer with a non-profit organization, Médecins Sans Frontières. These diverse experiences have enriched her clinical practice. As a psychologist, Adetola’s ‘superpowers’ are her warmth, intuition, and clinical skills grounded in her training and a deep sense of professional responsibility and ethics; as well as her personality and values which have been strengthened by multicultural experiences living and working in several countries, including her new home, Canada. She is a member of the Ontario Psychological Association and the American Psychological Association.
