Hey, I'm Savannah Odem! With a strong passion for social justice, I work mostly with women , individuals of color, individuals who identify within the LGBTQIA+ community, underserved communities, and teens.

At Alicia Curry LLC, we know that you want to enjoy peace in your life. The problem is that you’ve been doing it on your own for so long. You don’t think that anyone understands you, and therefore they can’t help you. This leads to isolation and overwhelm. We understand what it’s like to doubt that anyone can help you. We believe no one should ever walk through distress alone. This is why we have spent the last 18 years helping teenagers and women cope with toxic relationships, grief, loss, sexual harassment, trauma, abuse, anxiety, and depression so they can heal and have a more fulfilling life.

I completed my Master's degree in Counseling Psychology from Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo, Michigan and hold a B.A. in Psychology and Anthropology/Sociology from Kalamazoo College.

My therapeutic approach derives from a relational perspective and I utilize cognitive behavioral, psychodynamic, person-centered, and holistic health approaches in our session.

You are not broken, you are deeply hurt. It is easy to find yourself in unhelpful patterns & ways of being. This might be due to your nervous system being flooded with anger, fear & despair. In a creative way to survive, you have found self-protection strategies. Unfortunately, these strategies are likely no longer helpful. Part of our work together will be unraveling this muscle memory to reveal how you can live a life that is true to you. YOU become the place of self-awareness, peaceful acceptance & intentional action. As a certified trauma professional & art therapist, I integrate these tools into our therapeutic work.

It is my personal and professional belief that everyone is capable of discovering their most authentic and successful self, but may occasionally need assistance in their journey to personal enrichment.

I respect the individual needs of varying cultural backgrounds, and enjoy finding common ground with varying clientele.

Life is a challenge, regardless of who you are or your place in life.

I am glad that my professional and personal experiences have equipped me to help a wide range of people during difficult times of change or transition, and that I am able to offer my services to those in need.

Taking steps to address your mental health can be intimidating. I understand the courage of seeking therapy and that’s why it’s my goal to create a warm and safe environment for clients. Treatment is not “one size fits all”, which is why I use a person-centered approach to meet clients where they are in their life. I utilize warmth and empathy as a tool to create a safe therapeutic environment that helps ease the difficulties of being vulnerable. While working together, we will address your reasons for entering therapy as well as improving your overall life for the long term.
