Getting to know Dr. Paula Timmons

Paula Timmons, Ph.D is a Psychologist who graduated from University of Kansas in 1993. As a seasoned clinician, Paula has 31 years of experience in the field and is licensed in Texas, Kansas.What makes you enjoy working with seniors? I like working with older adults because they possess a lifetime of knowledge and experience. I enjoy hearing their life stories, learning about their experiences, and helping them increase their feelings of happiness and life satisfaction.And since I, too, am an older adult, I relate well to people from my generation who experienced many of the same values and historical events that I did. Why do you think online therapy is effective for seniors? Using the Total Life portal is so easy, and research shows that, for most seniors, online therapy is as effective as in-person sessions.It's also more convenient, reduces travel time and expense, improves access to one's therapist, and most importantly, allows clients to receive therapy in the comfort of their own homes. How do you approach therapy sessions? Because individuals are complex and face a unique set of challenges, I don't believe in a "one size fits all" approach to therapy.Initially, I want to understand what problems the person is facing and what he or she hopes to accomplish in therapy. Once goals are established, we discuss various treatment approaches and work collaboratively to develop an overall treatment plan which we continually revise as the therapy progresses. What is your advice to someone who is starting therapy for the first time?Don't delay! Starting therapy is one of the best things you can do for yourself.
