Getting to know Paula Matthews

I decided to move into this career after marrying my husband, who was active in the military. I wanted to better understand how to support him through the challenges he faced after many deployments. I love working with military members, veterans, and their families. I am passionate about helping people achieve a happier self, reach their potential, and live fuller, healthier, and more joyful lives. I hold a Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from Walden University, which has equipped me with the skills to provide compassionate and effective care. In my therapy practice, I incorporate CBT, DBT, person-centered, and solution-focused approaches. I believe trauma is unique to each individual, and so should be the healing process. That’s why I emphasize to every client that therapy is not one-size-fits-all; every therapist or counselor practices differently. It is important to me to bring my authentic self and values into therapy so clients experience the genuineness and professionalism they deserve. I like my clients to be the drivers of their therapy, guiding me toward what they want to focus on, so I can best support their needs and goals.
