Meet Our Founder

Danielle Adebayo is the visionary founder of The Butterfly Foundation—a passionate connector, advocate, and mental health professional dedicated to creating spaces where people can heal, grow, and truly belong.

 

As a Black woman navigating the counselling world, Danielle witnessed first-hand how cultural misalignment and lack of representation could act as barriers to care. She launched The Butterfly Foundation to change that. Drawing on her background in therapeutic practice, community outreach, and placement coordination, Danielle built a service rooted in empathy, equity, and intentional matching.

 

With over a decade of experience in mental health and education, Danielle has always believed that who you’re matched with matters. Her mission is simple but powerful: help people find the right support, not just any support. She brings warmth, integrity, and cultural awareness to every connection The Butterfly Foundation makes.

 

Known for her calm presence, fierce dedication, and collaborative spirit, Danielle continues to shape a service where people—clients, students, and practitioners alike—are seen, valued, and uplifted.
