“What I’ve appreciated most is Paula’s balance between empathy and practicality. She doesn’t just nod along; she offers thoughtful, actionable advice that I can take with me and apply in real life. What sets her apart is her ability to truly listen— not just hearing the words, but understanding the emotions and meaning behind them. Every session with Paula feels like a safe, judgment-free space where I can explore challenges openly.”

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.
