Our therapists offer DBT / dialectical behavior therapy in Evanston, 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’m Khaliah Marsh, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with eight years of experience supporting children, teens, and adults in school, community mental health, and private practice settings. I earned my MSW from Loyola University Chicago and help clients navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, generational trauma, self-esteem, relationship challenges, and life transitions. Using CBT, DBT, ACT, mindfulness, narrative, and expressive therapy, I’ll meet you where you are and help you build tools that fit your real life—because therapy isn’t about perfection; it’s about becoming 1% better each day.

I work with children, teens, and adults using a warm, honest, creative, and age-appropriate approach. I’m EMDR-trained and use SFBT, CBT, DBT, mindfulness, narrative, expressive, and play therapy to address anxiety and trauma. Clients can expect sessions where conversation, creativity, and practical tools support understanding, confidence, and growth.

You don’t have to be in crisis to deserve support or know exactly what to say when you arrive. Therapy should give you room to be honest, feel understood, and be challenged without judgment. If you’re ready to understand yourself and make changes that improve your real life, schedule an appointment. Insight matters—but what you do with it changes everything.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 16 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults as they navigate life’s challenges.
