Getting to know Vilija Paulius
My goal as a therapist is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where my clients feel empowered and accepted. Through a collaborative approach, we work together to support your needs and explore ways to cultivate positive change in your life. I focus on your goals in a supportive manner, fostering resilience and strength as you embark on this journey of self-discovery. I commend your openness to change and invite you to explore aspects of yourself that can be difficult to reach alone. Together, we nurture healing and growth.
My approach is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral, Dialectical Behavioral, and Psychodynamic therapies. However, I draw from many modalities to provide personalized care tailored to each individual. I began my journey in this field at the University of South Carolina, where I earned a bachelor's degree in psychology. During that time, I also worked on campus as a mental health mentor and advocate. I continued my education at New York University, where I completed my Master's in Mental Health Counseling.

I was terrified of starting therapy due to my past traumas, but with Vilija I felt a sense of ease that was pivotal for me. Her professionalism and care for this work does not go unnoticed. She provides quick responses and flexibility with scheduling, which is amazing for my chaotic work schedule. I know I can count on her!

They send you an email asking for your credit card information. The email is not only shady-looking it's unsafe. I send them an email letting them know I'll fill the application there because the email looks very shady and they said okay. An hour before I leave to my appointment I check my email and there are no new messages. I get to the place and find out that they cancelled my meeting while I was on the train because I didn't fill out the shady document from the email and the therapist left.
While I filled out the paperwork they get the therapist back. The therapist was extremely green. During our time, I did not feel safe at all or comfortable. They had no staff of color and no availability on weekends. Overall, my experience was abysmal.
