Paula Bugbee

I’m most drawn to working with people who are seeking steadiness, understanding, and practical tools—whether it’s a parent overwhelmed by a child’s big emotions, a child or teen navigating anxiety or behavior challenges, or an adult longing for more balance and self-regulation. They want to feel grounded, connected, and confident. Their goals are to better understand themselves or their child, strengthen relationships, and build meaningful skills that support healing, growth, and thriving.

I help children, teens, adults, and parents build emotional regulation, confidence, and connection. Drawing on early childhood expertise, DBT, Play Therapy, and Polyvagal-informed approaches, I offer warm, tailored support that strengthens relationships, reduces stress, and helps people understand themselves and their children more deeply.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply unsure of the next step, you’re not alone. I’d be honored to support you or your child with care, clarity, and compassion. When you’re ready, I’m here to help you move toward greater ease, connection, and confidence.
