Getting to know Pauline Padrul

Hi there, I'm Pauline! I am a licensed clinical social worker with twenty-five years of experience in multiple mental health treatment settings. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from Loyola University Chicago and a Master’s in Public Health from the University of California, Berkeley. My approach is integrative, with the goal of cultivating meaning and motivation for change. My approach I borrow from several therapeutic models to understand presenting issues and address treatment goals, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Humanistic Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Psychodynamic Theory. I believe in educating clients about therapeutic concepts to support informed decision-making and behavior change. My focus I specialize in mood and anxiety disorders and explore their implications for the mind-body connection. This approach works well with a diverse range of individuals, including adolescents. My communication style I set ground rules to ensure emotional safety and try to use humor when appropriate :) My journey to mental healthcare I became a therapist because of the visible psychological changes that can result from the therapeutic relationship. This work sits at the intersection of biopsychosocial factors, fueling my ongoing curiosity about the human condition. My goals for you I approach goal setting using motivational interviewing, habit formation, and identifying ways to promote psychological flexibility. My first session with you The first session is often about gathering information and getting to know each other while establishing emotional safety.
