Getting to know Andre Paul
I am a Mental Health Counselor with a Limited Permit (MHC-LP) who earned a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Manhattan University and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Bridgeport.
My passion for mental health counseling stems from my commitment to helping individuals navigate life's obstacles, develop emotional resilience, and achieve personal growth. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental therapeutic atmosphere where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered.
My clinical interests include working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, and significant life transitions. My therapeutic approach incorporates evidence-based interventions, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques. I believe in accommodating treatment to each client's unique experiences, strengths, and personal goals.
What should a new client know about working with you?
As a former NCAA Division II collegiate basketball player, I also have a strong interest in supporting athletes who experience performance anxiety, identity challenges, and difficulties transitioning out of competitive sports.
My goal as a counselor is to create meaningful therapeutic relationships built on trust, empathy, collaboration, and mutual respect. I am dedicated to helping clients develop practical coping strategies, strengthen their self awareness, and create lasting, positive changes in their lives.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
In the first session I will complete an intake assessment to gather as much information to better assess and get to know you, your history, and what concerns have brought you to therapy and therefore set up goals. The following sessions, we will engage in talk therapy while pulling from various modalities to help you achieve your goals. Our sessions are 45 min in length on a weekly basis.
Please allow 15 minutes before the session to do the intake paperwork.
I PROVIDE PSYCHOTHERAPY SERVICES ONLY; PLEASE NOTE I DON’T PROVIDE MEDICATION MANAGEMENT SERVICES.
