Getting to know Paula Verbit
Hi there, I'm Paula!
Paula Verbit, MA, LMFT (CA MFT #135095) — I work collaboratively with you to shape a healing journey rooted in self-discovery and growth. I serve as a guide, helping you cultivate self-awareness, insight, empowerment, and joy, and as a facilitator supporting deep emotional work, including somatic practices and trauma healing. Together, we’ll explore pathways to uncover your true passion and purpose. I specialize in working with adults, couples, and adult families.
I earned my Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from Touro University Worldwide, which informs my comprehensive and compassionate approach.
My approach
I offer a customized therapeutic approach respecting each client’s unique needs, cultural background, and personal history. My style is warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental, providing a safe space for growth and healing. I integrate therapeutic modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Compassion-Focused Therapy, Positive Psychology, Strength-Based Therapy, Spiritual Psychology, and Psychodynamic Therapy. I also incorporate Somatic Interventions, Guided Imagery, and Inner Child work through Imaginal Nurturing, tailoring techniques to support clients’ journeys.
My focus
I work with individuals aged 20 to 70 facing anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief and loss, relationship distress, and major life transitions like break-ups or divorce. Many clients are on a spiritual journey, seeking to understand their identity and deepen connections. My practice includes those navigating chronic pain, acute illness, career changes, parenting hurdles, and aging complexities. I also support creatives in the entertainment industry through both business and artistic challenges.
My communication style
My therapy approach is gentle, collaborative, and interactive. I prioritize creating a safe, confidential space where clients feel supported.
