Ms. Deborah Odell:Psychotherapist

As children, we adapt to our anxieties and the world around us as best we can; in the way we perceive our selves and others, and in the way we relate to our selves and others. As adults, sometimes we find that what should come naturally is inexplicably difficult. Our relationships seem to be fraught with repetitious and debilitating patterns. We feel blocked in our careers, and we're often anxious or depressed but not sure why. Therapy can help identify, and adjust, the ways in which our childhood strategies are not adaptable to our adult life.

Through compassionate listening, in a non-judgmental environment, we will explore together what feels difficult for you - with a focus on understanding your past experiences and how specific events in your life are affecting your ability to feel good and grow.

I believe it's important we speak before booking a first session. For this reason, I recommend a short, complimentary phone consultation - so that we can determine if working together may be helpful to you, and so that you may ask any questions you have about the process.
