More about Paula
- 4 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I have lived almost my whole like in SE Texas. I have one daughter and two grand boys. My husband and I have been married for 21 years. We live in a small town and have horses, a donkey, chickens and love to play in the dirt. I have lived in large cities and I understand that place of life as well.
I am very interested in helping the whole body heal; body, soul, and spirit. I do not believe you can separate your physical and emotional self. One step at a time, one day at a time we can become better versions of our self finding peace...but it is work. Are you ready for a fresh start? Ready to dig out the weeds and plant new seeds? Seeds that produce healthy fruit. Let’s till and tend to the garden of your soul (mild, will and emotions) together. It’s not too late... come as you are. We all have seasons that we need support.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
