“I’ve really appreciated my work with Amani. She creates a space that feels safe, grounded, and nonjudgmental—something that’s made it easier for me to open up and explore deeper parts of myself. I’ve felt both seen and gently challenged in a way that supports growth, and I’m grateful for how she listens with care and offers reflections that help me connect the dots. I leave sessions feeling more self-aware, emotionally regulated, and equipped with tools to navigate life’s complexities. It’s clear she is deeply skilled and invested in my well-being, and I’m glad to be on this journey with her support.”

Getting to know Amani Odom

Hi, I'm Amani! "Living in the moment means letting go of the past & not waiting for the future. It means living your life consciously, aware that each moment you breathe is a gift." – Oprah W. I am a witness to family stories of trauma, racism, environmental and social injustices that negatively impact family structures. This experience influenced my desire to become a clinician to support the healing process of individuals affected by historical life events and current circumstances that limit their potential and capacity to influence their lives with efficacy. With longevity in clinical practice, I work with individuals facing life transitions, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, trauma, and other issues that stymie hope, joy, desires, dreams, and life goals. Adjusting and adapting to life’s moments and experiences can be both fulfilling and challenging. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Southern California, which has equipped me with the knowledge and skills to provide compassionate, evidence-based care. As a collaborative partner, I will assist in exploring and facing the trials that hinder moving to the next chapter of one’s life. By employing evidence-based practices and interventions tailored to meet individual needs, we write that next chapter together.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I work with a trauma-informed approach and believe in pouring strength, positivity and praise back into my clients. In each session, I work to create a safe space that allows for both of us to work together to achieve your goals. I want to give you creative control to write your next chapter while learning positive coping skills, breaking old patterns and creating new ways to view and move through life.

In-network insurances

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.

Also empowering, solution oriented, humorous, direct as well. Literally all the options for standing out applies. I'm not completely aware of Holistic as defined, I'm sure in the most positive of ways it fits as well
