Odile McKenzie, LCSW

Founder, Odile Psychotherapy Service

Odile is a cultural and trauma-responsive Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Holistic Life Coach with over 10 years of experience. Born in St. Lucia, she immigrated to the US in her teens and identifies as Afro-Caribbean. Odile practices through a lens of compassion, culture, and self-affirmation.

​

Odile specializes in helping Black folks identify safety in their bodies and their relationships. She believes that relationships are vital to our emotional and physical well-being. You get hurt in relationships, and therefore, you can heal in safe relationships. Therapy can be that safe relationship to help you heal your wounds.

 

Odile helps people identify the source of their maladaptive behaviors in relationships and dating and guides them in healing. Her goal is to equip you with the tools to identify how your trauma manifests as anxiety, depression, avoidance, perfectionism, low self-esteem, people-pleasing, and fear. From working with Odile, you will learn how to improve your relationship with yourself, date better, cultivate more nurturing relationships, set boundaries, and manage challenging emotions such as anxiety and depression.

 

All are welcome to join her practice and sessions!
