Paula Ackermann

I received my MSW from UNC-Wilmington when I was in my 40's. I'm thankful to have found my passion--I love being present with people, hearing their stories, and working together to create transformation.

My style is warm and engaging with a curious and compassionate presence. Our work together is based on what your needs are and what works for you. I primarily work with recent event trauma and developmental and attachmet trauma. I am also a polyvagal informed therapist so I frequently bring your nervous system into the session--I find that an understanding of our biology and how it impacts you can help normalize the human experience.

You can expect to feel understood and respected as an individual. You will take away practical tools and a recognition of your strengths and values.
