About
Hi! I'm Dr Robyn (Odegaard) aka Mental MacGyver.
If I worked for the mob, I would be the consigliere. Or in English, chief adviser or confidant. Think Dr Jennifer Melfi on The Sopranos or Wendy Rhoades on Billions.
My doctorate is in organizational business psychology with a concentration in sport and performance. I provide concierge, high performance support and coaching to executives, founders, celebrities and athletes. Each of my clients gets an individual ringtone in my phone so I know who it is from across the room. When you work with me no topic is off limits an there is no such thing as TMI.
Most of my clients have tried therapy and want more than being asked, "How do you feel about that" and "What do you think you should do?"
I adore the intellectual stimulation of a good conversation, which is why I started Quick Hits. In my spare time, I read astrophysics for fun, workout, hike, tend to my garden and WAY too many houseplants and trains my dog Nebula to do circus tricks.
