Getting to know Paula Schoenau

Hi there! My name is Paula (she/her) and I'm a Latina licensed professional counselor working from Virginia. I am Brazilian and I graduated in Psychology over 17 years ago-do not do the math! :) I have been living in the USA since 2014 and earned my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from South University in 2018. I have experience working with clients in three languages: English, Portuguese, and Spanish. My biggest goal is to make you feel heard, seen, and worthy.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I work with clients on developing a treatment plan and establishing achievable goals together - YOU are the expert on yourself, right? I encourage clients to develop a toolbox with coping skills that will help deal with moments of struggle, and increase self-love and self-acceptance.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I think the process to find a good match for a therapist is just as when you are hiring anyone...an interview is necessary. So I like to do a "meet and greet" where we can chat and see if we are a good fit.
