Getting to know Paula Lamanna

Beginning therapy can be both exciting and intimidating. I hope I can make the process of starting therapy as comfortable as possible. If you're suffering from anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, low self-esteem, stress, or just feel stuck in a rut, I can help! I hold a Master's in Social Work from New York University, which equips me with the skills and knowledge to support you effectively.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Our work together could incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), psychodynamic, EMDR and Mindfulness in order to remove the roadblocks preventing you from attaining the success and peace of mind you desire. I am also able to offer Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy when appropriate. People often come to therapy wanting to address what's "wrong with them" but it can also be helpful to shift the focus to what's RIGHT with you? What are your strengths, what are you good at, what do you like doing, when do you feel good and how can we help get you there more often?

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Together, we will identify and confront self-destructive thoughts and problematic behavioral patterns to create positive change in your life. My approach is compassionate and non-judgmental. Whatever challenges you're facing, I look forward to being in your corner. Once you've scheduled a session, I will contact you as soon as possible for a complimentary 15 minute phone consultation to ensure that we are a good match, prior to having a paid session.
