Hello and welcome to The Lighter Heart on the world wide web.

My name is Steven O'Dell. I am a licensed clinical social worker with a private psychotherapy practice in the cities of Portland and Salem, Oregon. Most people call me "Bo" - a family nickname I have had since childhood.

This website was designed to help you understand psychotherapy in general and about my practice and service in particular. Please click on the links to the left for further information or to inquire about becoming a client.

Thanks for visiting and welcome to The Lighter Heart!
