What should a new client know about working with you?
Hi! My name is Tracey Pauls. I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in the State of Maryland. I also carry a Supervisor's endorsement. I have been providing therapy to individuals, couples, groups and families for 7 years. I also have a background in education and worked as a teacher for 12 years. I have experience providing crisis intervention, have treated individuals facing substance abuse challenges and those reorienting into society after incarceration. I believe that every person has within themselves what they need for success. Sometimes we need help in revealing it.
My approach to therapy is mostly client centered. Since you are the expert on your life, therapy will be directed by you. I get the privilege of walking alongside you to provide education and support; while guiding you through self revelation; and hopefully, self validation and acceptance. I believe in a strengths based approach of using multiple strategies and modalities to help you meet your goals and objectives. We will work together to create a treatment plan that addresses your concerns with attainable goals to encourage your success. Through the use of Narrative therapy I guide my clients through the retelling of their life story from a perspective of strength and expertise as they learn to separate themselves from the issue of concern. CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) is used to identify the thoughts and beliefs that tend to direct our behavior. I believe that once we know and understand why we act a certain way we are more empowered to change it.
I hope for the opportunity to work with you to accomplish your goals and live a more successful and fulfilling life

What is your typical process for working with clients?
Going through therapy with a therapist can be a very beneficial experience for individuals who want to work through their mental health challenges and improve their overall well-being. Here are some steps you can take to make the most of your therapy experience:
- Find the right therapist: The first step is to find a therapist who is a good fit
for you. Look for someone who specializes in the type of issues you want
to address and whose style matches your preferences. I hope I can be that person for you.
- Set clear goals: It's important to have clear goals for therapy so that you
and I are on the same page. In our first session, we will discuss your goals
and work together to create a treatment plan that outlines the steps you
will take to achieve those goals.
- Try to be open and honest with me about your thoughts, feelings, and
behaviors. I am here to help you, and I can only do so if I have a clear
understanding of what's going on.
- Trust the process: Therapy can be a long process, and it's important to
trust that the work you're doing with me will pay off in the end. It's also important to be patient and not expect instant results.
- Practice self-care: In addition to attending therapy sessions, it's important
to practice self-care on a regular basis. This may include activities such as exercise, meditation, or spending time with loved ones.
- Keep an open mind: Finally, it's important to keep an open mind and be
willing to try new things. As your therapist, I may suggest different
techniques or approaches that you haven't tried before, and it's important to be receptive to these suggestions.
Remember, therapy is a collaborative process between you and me, so be sure to communicate your thoughts and concerns along the way. With the right mindset and a willingness to work, therapy can be a transformative experience that helps you achieve your goals and improve your quality of life.
