Great to meet you!

Hello! I’m Paulisha McIntyre, LCSW. It’s a pleasure to meet you. For the past 6yrs I’ve had the privilege of working as a therapist, supporting individuals through various challenges like depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting struggles, career transitions, and trauma. My approach is warm and collaborative. I truly believe that it takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life—and wanting to change is a big step in itself! If you’re ready to embark on this journey,

A bit about my approach to therapy

I frequently incorporate both Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in my practice. In our first session, we'll discuss what brought you to therapy and identify the best strategies for your progress. With CBT, we'll examine how your thoughts influence your emotions and experiences. In our work with DBT, we'll focus on building your distress tolerance.

What you can expect from our first session

You can expect a non-judgmental, honest environment where we focus on evidence-based solutions tailored to your specific challenges. In our initial sessions, we'll explore these issues together and collaborate on a plan to help you reclaim your life. Many of my clients notice a gradual improvement in their symptoms within the first month, with continued progress following that. Certified Grief Professional & Certified Trauma Professional!
