Getting to know Paula Phelps
Life can feel overwhelming, especially when you're used to being the strong one. Whether you're carrying grief, navigating a difficult season, or simply feeling like you've lost yourself somewhere along the way, you don't have to figure it out alone.
My name is Paula, and I've spent over 30 years walking alongside individuals, teens and couples through some of life's most challenging moments. I draw from CBT, DBT, solution-focused, and supportive approaches, which means our work together is shaped around you, not a one-size-fits-all method.
I create a space where you can be honest, take up room, and work toward what actually matters to you. For clients who hold spiritual beliefs, I welcome that as part of the healing process.
At the heart of my approach is a simple belief: you deserve to feel better and with the right support, you can.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Client will see that I am extremely passionate about supporting them on their journey to healing. I am committed to empowering and connecting them to their inner strengths for a more balanced and healthier existence.

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.
