Paula Curran, LCSW

Psychotherapist
11 Baxter Blvd, Portland, ME
Paula has more than 20 years of experience as a clinical social worker. She wants to know you. Are you experiencing anxiety, frustration, or feeling upset by an unsatisfying relationship? Do you feel overwhelmed by finances, the current cultural climate, divorce, or stress? "How will I handle all these pressures?" Do you consider therapy but don't know where to start: "How do I choose from the therapists I read about?" If you seek someone who will engage with you, understand that you are doing your best to make sense of the problems confronting you, and wants to participate in creating strategies to resolve these problems, please call Paula to talk about how you both might collaborate to create the life you desire. Her areas of interest and competence include depression, anxiety, PTSD, managing emotions, and significant life transitions such as caring for elderly parents, divorce, and loss. Paula utilizes mindfulness, narrative therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and DBT skills but will never compromise your unique needs. You can Google these intervention theories if you wish. Paula will explain them at your first appointment as well. Paula holds a Master's in Social Work from the University of New England and is certified in Primary Care & Behavioral Health through UMASS Worcester MA Department of Family Medicine & Community Health. When not working, Paula enjoys community theatre, comedy and good humor, her sons and their families, and spiritual life. She is an avid reader of novels. You may have seen her if you are ever at the local library.
