Paula Matthews

I specialize in helping individuals and couples who feel overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in communication patterns that keep them disconnected. I support clients navigating relationship stress, trauma, parenting challenges, burnout, and high‐pressure roles such as healthcare and first‐responder work. I am very passionate about reaching people to achieve a happier self, reach their potential, and live a fuller, healthier, and happy life. In my therapy, I like to incorporate CBT, DBT, person-centered and solution-focused therapy.

I believe that trauma is unique so should be the process to heal from such trauma which is why I emphasize to each client that therapy is not a one size fits all.I specialize in helping individuals and couples who feel overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in communication patterns that keep them disconnected. I will support clients navigating relationship stress, trauma, parenting challenges, burnout, and high‐pressure roles such as healthcare and first‐responder work. In my therapy I like you the client to be the driver and guide me where and what you want to focus on to help and support your needs.

Sessions with me are structured, supportive, and practical. I’m direct but warm, and I help you understand patterns quickly so you can make meaningful changes. You’ll leave each session with tools you can use immediately.

Achievable goals are very important to track where you are. You can expect to be themselves and receive non-judgemental guidance during their sessions and feel safe during our session.
