My name is Tracey Odishoo. I am a family nurse practitioner and founder of Reasons Health. I created Reasons Health because our community is in great need of psychiatric/mental health providers. I have the had the privilege to live in McHenry County for 30 years; I have had the honor of caring for so many exceptionally wonderful people. I want to extend my gratitude to my community increasing access to psychiatric/mental health care.
I have been a nurse for 30 years. I obtained my bachelors degree in the science of nursing at Barat collage I received my graduate degree in public health nursing with a clinical track in family practice at the University of Illinois in 2001. My career path initially took me to emergency services where I found my true passion for helping the mentally ill and the homeless. In turn, I focused my interest in psychiatry/mental illness. I have spent the past several years caring for community members who have been hospitalized due to their mental illness. In addition, I have provided cared for those who needed PHP and/or IOP as well as outpatient care.
I have been married to my high school sweetheart for over 35 years. Together we raised three children who gave us a combined 7 amazing grandchildren! We have two cats who pay attention to us sometimes. I love music, reading and plants and flowers.
