After earning my bachelor’s degree in nursing I earned a graduate degree in science of nursing; public health nursing with a clinical track in family practice. I discovered my calling by supporting those facing mental illness and homelessness while working in an emergency department. This calling has guided my career ever since, shaping my focus on creating healing spaces for those who need it most. Whether it’s through hospital care, outpatient programs, or individual support, I’ve seen how mental health care can transform lives—and that transformation drives me every day.

On a personal note, I’ve been married to my high school sweetheart for over 35 wonderful years. Together, we’ve raised three amazing children, who have blessed us with seven grandchildren that light up our lives. When I’m not working, you’ll find me surrounded by our 2 cats, music, lost in a good book, or nurturing my love for plants and flowers.
Reasons Health is more than just a clinic—it’s a promise to our community that no one has to walk their mental health journey alone. Let’s work together to create a brighter, healthier future for all. We welcome you!
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.
