About
As a woman, a mother, and someone who has experienced personal loss, I bring both professional expertise and lived experience to my work as a PMHNP, offering a compassionate, culturally responsive space where you can feel seen, heard, and supported in your healing.
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.

Psychologists are mental health professionals that provide psychotherapy services and diagnoses for their clients. They have more research-focused training than most therapists, as they are more medically educated and receive a more general education about therapeutic approaches and theory.
Thriveworks psychologists in Aurora, IL provide standard psychotherapy services, tailoring treatment to each client and their unique concerns. However, they can also provide diagnoses to clients when appropriate, something that therapists and counselors cannot do. Finally, in some states in the U.S., they are allowed to prescribe medication.
Psychological treatment at Thriveworks Aurora is very individualized and specific to each client, which means that the duration of treatment is often varied depending on a client’s condition or disorder, the state of their symptoms, and their specific goals.
