Nancy O'Dell

I've had my own struggles that help me to empathize with my client's struggles & know that the skills I teach I use myself. I have worked in all areas of mental health including; Group Homes & Treatment programs for adolescents, a Psych Hospital, Community Mental Health Agency, Private Practice, & I developed a Rape Crisis Program & a Child Advocacy Center for sexaully abused children. This experience gave me the training I continue to use with Trauma Victims of all kinds today.

As a Therapist I use a Wholistic Person-Focused Therapy, tailored to each individual client. I will assess your emotional, psychological, and physical issues in order to treat the whole person. I see the Therapuetic Relationship as a team process. I will teach you the skills needed to learn how to manage your emotions & work through the symptoms you are struggling with. In order to be successful you will need to practice new skills & make the changes you need in order to feel your best self.

My clients often feel more empowered & better able to manage the stressors that come their way. I have been using EMDR II for 20+ years & have found that many types of trauma respond well to this technique. Clients report that flashbacks stop, anxiety & depression decrease, & the memories are no longer triggered when completed. When my clients practice the skills I teach them, they report great improvement in their over all well-being. Your efforts make all the difference in your outcomes.
