Kamayani "Kay" Odegard, Licensed Clinical Social Worker- Certified

I’m a warm, holistic, and empowering therapist who believes healing is possible when we feel truly seen and supported. My work is grounded in evidence-based modalities like eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, and I integrate psychodynamic and mindfulness-based approaches to meet each client where they are. I specialize in helping individuals navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, and bipolar condition, and I also support clients working through grief, family dynamics, cultural identity, and relationship challenges. My style is collaborative and compassionate. I aim to create a safe space where you can explore your experiences, build resilience, and reconnect with your inner strengths. In our sessions, you can expect a thoughtful balance of insight, structure, and emotional safety. My goal is to help you feel empowered, understood, and equipped to move forward with clarity and confidence.

I am part of a carefully curated group of fully licensed therapists in the Maryland-DC area called Tau Counseling Services of Maryland. This means I have access to the expertise of all of my colleagues, and I can also refer to other specialties (such as medication or testing) with ease. Working with a therapist who has established professional linkages is beneficial for quality care and referral. I use telehealth to enable me to reach my clients across Maryland, which improves convenience, privacy, and accessibility for you.
