Karen O’Dell, M.C, LYP
I am the founder of Grateful Tree, and fortunate for this venture where I can use my passions and experiences to help you find peace, meaning, and strength in your life! Along with teaching yoga for individuals and groups, I provide wellness counseling for optimal mind-body-spirit health. I believe there is something in each of us that wants to be connected and whole and want to help you find this harmony.
A little about my background…I studied Psychology at ASU and continued my studies there to earn a Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology. From there, I practiced clinical psychotherapy while working at a variety of settings in the Phoenix area treating eating disorders, depression, anxiety related disorders, and family issues. In 2009 I became a devoted yoga student and quickly knew that I would be for the rest of my life. This new found love led me to evolve my therapy practice into one including alternative forms of healing as I have learned that a holistic and individual approach to wellness is most effective, especially when treating eating disorders , anxiety and depression. I completed my Yoga Teacher Training certification at LifePower yoga in Scottsdale. I hold high regard for those who have influenced my development as a teacher. Always a student, I look forward to learning from you as well!
