Hello there. My name is Paulina Morales. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist in California. I received my Masters in counseling psychology from National University in 2006. For the past 19 years I have worked with children and adults dealing with a variety of mental health symptoms (anxiety, depression, trauma, grief) and developed a passion for working with grievers dealing with a broken heart.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

During our first session, we will go over consents, some basic history to get to know you better, and most importantly, your reason for seeking treatment now as well as expectations of treatment. Through our work together, you will learn tools that will transform your relationship with grief and as a result transform your life.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I will listen empathically in a caring, nonjudgmental way AND also guide and challenge you through action exercises in session and assigning homework in between sessions.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

While I work with an array of mental health issues, my passion is to help patients dealing with grief and loss. Whether the nature of your loss is due to death of a loved one, a break up, a divorce, loss of a friendship, loss of health e.t.c; the point is that you’re grieving and in emotional pain. Maybe you’ve tried talking to friends and family and as well intentioned as they are, they have inadvertently invalidated your pain and left you feeling inadequate; like something is wrong with you for not “getting over it.” Or maybe you’re thinking that you “should” have gotten over it by now, yet, you FEEL like the emotional pain will never end. You have come here because you're hurting and are seeking relief. If you feel we could be a good fit, let me help you find that peace and a new way of relating to your pain by healing your heart.
