Getting to know Paula Elkin

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Substance Abuse Treatment Practitioner with experience working across outpatient, community mental health, crisis, and military settings. As a Veteran, I understand many of the unique stressors associated with military life, transitions, caregiving responsibilities, and balancing the demands of work and family. I work with adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, relationship concerns, life transitions, and challenges related to stress and burnout. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in evidence-based practices tailored to each individual's needs. I strive to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore challenges, build resilience, develop practical coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change at a pace that feels manageable and aligned with their goals.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider's self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan's benefits.
