Paula Tisdale

As a Trauma-Informed Licensed Counselor, I create safe healing spaces where you feel deeply validated and empowered. I believe therapy must be tailored to create space to honor and explore your entire life journey.

My approach synthesizes neuroscience with body-based awareness for holistic recovery. I integrate advanced modalities like Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Experiencing (SE), and Reconsolidation of Traumatic Memory (RTM). I also utilize traditional approaches: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Skills Training in Affect and Interpersonal Regulation (STAIR)

Welcome! Our first session will include time for us to connect and for you to share what brought you to treatment and your goals. There will also be some administrative obligations and paperwork to address through your insurance company. I always strive for my space to be a safe escape for your healing journey, and we will spend time discussing any concerns you have about the treatment process or confidentiality. It is completely normal to initially feel guarded, and you can share as much or as little as you feel comfortable with. Again Welcome. Now lets get started.
