About Odona
I seek to provide the highest quality counseling services in an affordable, Christian environment. I believe that Christ is the center of healing and strive to glorify Him in all that I do. I have extensive experience working with recovery from substance abuse, PTSD, Depression, Anxiety, and BiPolar Disorders. Through collaboration with churches in our community, I am the most affordable private pay option in the Chattahoochee Valley. I blend Christian principles and proven counseling techniques together to provide an atmosphere that encourages true healing and clear way forward. I seek to share the love of Christ with all who come into my counseling office and trust Jesus to provide healing in His way and His time. I believe in redemption and new beginnings for all people.
