About Me
A safe, compassionate space to slow down, understand yourself, and begin healing.
About Me
Hi, I'm Paula, LCSW, CCTP-II
Owner & Psychotherapist, Minds Eye Therapy, PLLC
I believe healing begins with feeling safe, seen, and understood. No matter what you’ve been through, you are more than your hardships. As a trauma-informed therapist, I provide a compassionate space where you can make sense of your experiences, reconnect with your strengths, and reclaim your sense of power and agency. Together, we’ll work to cultivate a life that feels more grounded, fulfilling, and authentically yours.
I specialize in helping adults navigate trauma, burnout, and chronic stress, including healthcare professionals and first responders.
Clients often tell me they appreciate my balance of compassion and directness. Therapy with me isn’t just talking about what happened. Together, we’ll help your nervous system learn that the danger has passed so you can move through life with more confidence, flexibility, and ease.
