Getting to know Mark Odell
Hello! I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and owner of Blue Angel Counseling. Before becoming a therapist, I served 20 years in the U.S. Navy and retired as a Chief Petty Officer. Today, I bring that same dedication and sense of service to my work with clients. For over 15 years, I've helped people navigate challenges like anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, and career transitions.
My approach blends evidence-based methods-such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)-tailored to each person's needs. Many of the struggles I see stem from unresolved past experiences or family patterns, which can lead to buried feelings, fear of abandonment, people-pleasing, and difficulties in relationships. Together, we work to uncover these roots, build healthier coping skills, and move toward a greater sense of balance and self-worth.
If you feel stuck or weighed down and are seeking relief, I would be honored to walk alongside you as you heal and move toward your full potential.
What should a new client know about working with you?
As a seasoned and compassionate ally, I will never judge you. Together we will identify what the real issue is, and I will help you work toward your mental health goals. It takes courage, but getting help will pay dividends.

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.

Mr. ODell is a great therapist to have. He understands me completely and has the best techniques for me to calm myself in certain situations. I couldn't ask for a better therapist to have, he has a great sense of humor, and he is the best at listening to me about anything I speak about!
