Step 2

Your INITIAL Visit

Your initial visit will last about an hour. During this time, we take the opportunity to really listen to your story and understand your unique experiences. Together, we’ll go over your intake form and discuss various aspects of your health, including your medical history, family history, current and past medications, as well as your symptoms.

We’ll explore potential diagnoses, keeping in mind that some diagnoses require time to establish. We’ll explain the diagnostic process and share the reasoning behind why a particular diagnosis may—or may not—apply to you.

Above all, you are an active participant in every step of this journey. Your insights and involvement are essential as we work together toward understanding and improving your health

Step 3

Developing your plan of care

During your initial appointment, we collaboratively create a personalized plan of care designed to nurture your entire self. This plan not only addresses symptom management—which may or may not involve medications—but also encompasses key aspects of your physical, emotional, and social health. If you desire, spiritual health can also be included.

A truly effective plan of care is one that aligns with your personal goals and integrates seamlessly into your lifestyle. In other words, it has to support your life in a meaningful, practical way.

Step 4

Your follow up care and beyond

Follow-up appointments are a key part of your care process, designed to ensure your treatment plan remains effective and supports your recovery. Each session lasts approximately 30 minutes and includes:

  • Symptom Review: We’ll discuss how you’re feeling, focusing on any changes or persistent issues in your symptoms. This helps us identify patterns, improvements, or areas that need further attention.
  • Plan Evaluation: We’ll assess the effectiveness of your care plan. Are the treatments helping? Are there any unexpected challenges or side effects? This is your opportunity to share your experience so we can fine-tune your approach.
  • Adjustments: If your current plan isn’t meeting your needs, we’ll make the necessary adjustments. This could include changing medication dosages, adding supportive therapies, or revisiting initial goals.
  • Questions and Education: We’ll provide clarity on any questions you might have about your treatment, condition, or next steps. Our goal is to empower you with knowledge and confidence in your care journey.
  • Scheduling and Next Steps: Based on your progress, we’ll determine the frequency of future visits.

Welcome to Reasons Health!

My name is Tracey Odishoo, and I am a family nurse practitioner and the founder of Reasons Health. I established Reasons Health in response to the great need for psychiatric and mental health providers in our community. Having lived in McHenry County for over 30 years, I’ve had the immense privilege of caring for countless remarkable individuals. I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to this wonderful community for allowing me to serve and for supporting my vision to improve access to mental health services.

My career in nursing spans over three decades. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in the Science of Nursing from Barat College and completed my Master’s in Public Health Nursing, specializing in Family Practice, at the University of Illinois in 2001. While my professional path initially led me to emergency services, I quickly discovered my true passion: supporting those who are mentally ill. This realization shaped my focus on psychiatry and mental health care. In recent years, I’ve cared for community members through inpatient psychiatric treatment, Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHPs), Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOPs), and outpatient services.

On a personal note, I’ve been married to my high school sweetheart for over 40 years. Together, we’ve raised three wonderful children who have blessed us with seven amazing grandchildren. Our family is also home to three cats who add snuggles and humor when they see fit. I find joy in music, reading, and nurturing plants and flowers—they bring peace and balance to my life.

Thank you for joining us at Reasons Health. Together, we can build a healthier and stronger community.
