Yemisi Odesilo
Yemisi Odesilo is a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) who offers a holistic, client-centered approach grounded in trust, comfort, and genuine human connection. She believes therapy begins with creating a safe, judgment-free space where clients can feel heard and supported. Having grown up in Nigeria where therapy was often stigmatized, Yemisi’s own journey toward healing inspires her work today. Clients can expect warmth, authenticity, and a collaborative process where laughter, tears, and honest conversation are welcome. She has a special interest in supporting those navigating stigma, cultural transitions, and emotional burdens while building trust and alliance. Yemisi warmly invites you to take the first step—simply start—and discover the relief that can come from sharing your story.

Booking FAQ
First Session charges each session directly to your credit card. Once each session occurs, and your card is charged, you will receive a PDF receipt to your email with all of the details you will need to get reimbursed (therapist name, license/designation, license number, address, etc). You can then submit the receipt to your insurance company for reimbursement if you have coverage.
We always recommend you check with your insurance provider to confirm what coverage you have.
You are the expert when it comes to knowing who is the right fit. Ensure you’ve watched the therapist video at the top of their profile and see if you get a good feeling from the message and the energy they are putting out. If you feel drawn to speak with them, listen to your gut! Booking a free consultation is a great first step to asses fit.
