Paula Odom, LCSW

Paula Odom, LCSW

Psychotherapist
NY
My name is Paula Odom, and I am a New York State licensed clinical social worker with a Master's in Social Work from Fordham University. I am a solution-focused therapist with extensive experience working with adults (18-70) struggling with life transitions and unresolved trauma. My approach I am a strengths-based, solution-focused clinician with 30 years of experience. I am client-focused, and treatment is based specifically on where you are on your journey and your needs. My focus I believe in treating people with sensitivity, compassion, and respect. I've worked extensively with adults who have a history of trauma, including those from the foster care system and other abusive childhood experiences. As an ally, I am also experienced in working with the LGBTQIA+ community. My communication style I am committed to creating a nonjudgmental, welcoming environment. It is important that you feel safe and supported during our work together. My journey to therapy I've been the person people came to for as long as I can remember, but it was my early work as a social worker that led me to clinical work full-time. Early in my career, I worked as a caseworker in foster care and then with women who were victims of domestic violence. I recognized how damaging unresolved trauma is and that representation mattered-there was a need for more clinicians of color. I feel honored to help people and take my role seriously. My goals for you Goals are mutually agreed upon; you lead the pace and direction. My job is to facilitate helping you reach your desired outcomes safely and supportively. My first session with you During our first session, you should feel comfortable moving and sharing at your own pace. It is a time to begin getting to know one another, and you should share as much or as little as you are comfortable with.
