Our therapists provide anxiety therapy in Aurora, IL

I'm Abiola Odusanya, D.N.P., PMHNP. I have 20 years of experience in psychiatry. I work with clients who have ADHD, depression, anxiety, grief, PTSD, bipolar disorder, and other mental health challenges. I'm a fun-loving mom of teens and young adults who knows firsthand that life can be messy, stressful, and unpredictable—whether you're a teen navigating school and friendships, a parent juggling family and work, or an adult facing life's unexpected challenges. I see each client as a unique person and understand that mental health isn't one-size-fits-all.

I take a holistic, individualized approach to care, seeing each person as more than their diagnosis. I work closely with clients and families to create a judgment-free space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered in your mental health journey. My goal is to provide compassionate, practical care tailored to your needs.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family—talking, watching movies, and shopping. I also enjoy traveling, reading, and listening to gospel music. I believe mental health care can be supportive and uplifting, and I'm here to walk alongside you on your journey to healing, resilience, and growth.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 29 years of experience helping adolescents and adults navigate anxiety, depression, and mood disorders such as bipolar disorder. My goal is to provide a supportive and collaborative space where clients feel understood and empowered to make meaningful changes in their lives. I approach each session with empathy, insight, and a focus on practical strategies that build emotional awareness, strengthen coping skills, and promote lasting personal growth.

I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Aurora University. My therapeutic style integrates cognitive behavioral therapy, person-centered therapy, and behavior modification to help clients manage emotions, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and achieve goals aligned with their personal values and life aspirations.

I bring warmth, humor, and authenticity to each session, fostering a safe and supportive space where clients can feel comfortable being themselves. My goal is to make therapy both productive and enjoyable while empowering clients to overcome obstacles and rediscover hope. I believe that with the right support, anything is possible.

As a Licensed Social Worker with a background in intensive healthcare, I bring a deeply compassionate, real-world approach to healing minds and supporting emotional well-being. I specialize in anxiety and depression, helping individuals navigate the heavy seasons of life with evidence-based, trauma-informed care.

I provide structured cognitive-behavioral therapy and personalized coping tools to support you in managing anxiety, overcoming depression, and facing life-altering challenges with renewed confidence and resilience.

Whether you’re seeking to find internal peace or develop practical strategies to thrive, you don’t have to walk this path alone. Let’s work together to build a fulfilling and resilient future.

I am a dedicated licensed clinical social worker/therapist who truly believes in offering quality mental health support. I typically work with adults experiencing depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, grief, and stress management, and I also enjoy working with couples. The clients I support are seeking coping skills and tools to guide them through their mental health challenges, as well as a safe space where they can learn the root of their symptoms and ways to address them. 

My approach is gentle and caring, using CBT, narrative therapy, and trauma-focused solutions to help guide my clients to self-efficacy. I like to infuse journaling, meditation, and workbooks/resources to support my clients. I also have a 40-hour Domestic Violence Certificate and use Gottman training for couples. 

As you are on your journey, you deserve support and a safe space to help you face your mental health challenges. Life can become better once you learn the coping skills, tools, and support systems to help you navigate through challenging times. Take the next step and schedule an appointment with me. We can take this journey together. You are not alone.

I'm a bilingual psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner who believes mental health care should feel personal, collaborative, and judgment-free. I provide both medication management and psychotherapy, allowing us to address your mental health from a whole-person perspective. I work with adolescents, adults, and seniors navigating concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, OCD, and panic. I'm fluent in English and Spanish and welcome clients from all backgrounds, including those seeking culturally responsive care in either language.

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to you. I value psychotherapy and believe meaningful progress comes from feeling heard, understood, and supported. When appropriate, I also collaborate with your therapist and other healthcare providers—with your consent—to help ensure your care is connected and aligned with your goals.

Starting or restarting your mental health journey can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to navigate it alone. I'm here to listen, understand, and support you without judgment. If you're ready to take the next step, I invite you to schedule an appointment. We can start where you are and work together toward feeling more balanced and like yourself again.
