Getting to know Paula Stephenson

I am a caring, dedicated, and compassionate licensed therapist with over 15 years of clinical experience providing behavioral health services to diverse populations. My professional experience includes treating individuals with substance use disorders, co-occurring mental health conditions, and trauma-related concerns, as well as working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families. My clinical approach is trauma-informed, evidence-based, and holistic, recognizing the connection between emotional, psychological, relational, and environmental factors in mental health and recovery. I provide individualized treatment planning and collaborate with clients to address symptoms, strengthen coping skills, improve functioning, and support long-term stability and wellness. I am committed to ethical practice, culturally responsive care, and delivering high-quality services that align with medical necessity standards and best-practice guidelines. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental therapeutic environment that promotes engagement, treatment adherence, and meaningful clinical outcomes.

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.
