My approach to treatment is a supportive, validating and compassionate one, incorporating various styles of practice including insight oriented, relational, Cognitive-Behavioral (CBT) and/or Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). Each individual has his or her own needs and preferences. This could include either a goal specific, time limited treatment or an insight oriented approach in which they are looking for a space to make meaning of various experiences and understand their impact on the self. A comfortable, trusting, and collaborative therapeutic relationship is an essential foundation necessary to make the changes one of looking for.

Change can be challenging, especially where there are no roadmaps for us to follow. We look for the guideposts, but in this evolving and sometimes uncertain world, solutions may be hard to find. Working together, and collaboratively, we can achieve goal-focused problem solving strategies. I believe that everyone wants to feel better; identifying what that looks like for each individual, couple or family is part of the work...and part of the journey.

Dear future patients, my name is Chika Odili and I'm a board-certified nurse practitioner. I know we haven’t met yet, but when we do, please trust that you are in good hands.

I strive to develop a nuanced understanding and appreciation of my clients' values, needs, and struggles. Together, we clarify obstacles, evaluate coping strategies, identify personal goals, and develop the skills necessary for a path forward. My approach is non-judgmental, warm, and active.

I relate to client struggles through the lens of real-world experience. During my 30 year career supporting others through workplace and life challenges as a leadership and executive coach in HR/organizational and leadership development roles for corporations and nonprofits, I found my calling as a psychotherapist in how “what we do,” intersects with “who we are." My approach is eclectic and intuitive, tailored to your unique needs, and drawing from various therapeutic modalities, including neuro-informed somatic practice, and strengths-based perspectives.

New York is a loud and bustling city - and sometimes it can be hard to reconnect with yourself.
