Oluwatamilore odimayo
I possess a doctorate in Psychology, serve as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, and hold the certification of Alcohol and Drug Counselor in the state of Illinois.
My clients often take a break from processing traumas and stressors and play music they enjoy, play a board game, meditate, share memes, laugh at life, etc.
I am the author of the best-selling self-help publication titled "How to Be a Mental Health Savage." I am a dedicated advocate for mental health awareness with the objective of diminishing mental health stigma on a global scale. My approach to mental health enhancement emphasizes a holistic perspective, incorporating intellectual stimulation, relationship restructuring, dietary modifications, and physical activity. My comprehensive experience encompasses acute trauma care, counseling for co-occurring disorders (mental health and substance abuse), as well as conducting custody evaluations, FOID appeal assessments, immigration mental health evaluations, and juvenile forensic evaluations.
First session
In our first session, I will inquire about current/past stressors, formulate an initial diagnosis, analyze your physical, social, emotional, spiritual, intellectual, and financial well-being, and create a concrete treatment plan based on your strengths.
Strengths
I specialize in addiction, trauma, depression , anxiety, divorce/breakups and difficult life transitions. For instance, trauma may happen as a result of a toxic relationship and it imperative to heal before transitioning into the next relationship. Remember, it is okay to be yourself, live with intention, and trust your instincts. It never fails.
Ideal clients
I see young adults to retirees who are going through difficult life transitions.
Treatment methods
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I utilize Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Existential therapy to help balance interpersonal effectiveness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and mindfulness with a sense of purpose.
