About Paula Odom

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York State with over 20 years of experience working with youth, individuals, and families. I’ve worked with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, career issues, depression, parenting issues, emotional abuse, and physical trauma. I’ve also worked with people who have experienced feelings of trauma related inequity and oppression in their everyday and work lives. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and rational- emotive counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!
