LMHC, 15 years of experience
My name is Paula Arce and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with over 15 years of experience supporting individuals on their journey toward healing and self-discovery. I specialize in working with individuals with clients experiencing Anxiety, Depression, Grief, Trauma, Narcissistic Abuse, Codependency and Borderline Personality features. My therapeutic approach is warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed. I help clients to overcome anxiety and fear by identifying and transforming ineffective behaviors, habits and beliefs that may keep them stuck. I believe that each person holds the power to create meaningful change, and my role is to guide and support you as you find new ways to live a more balanced and fulfilling life. If you’re struggling to cope with Depression, Grief, or any other mental disorder I can help you navigate these feelings and offer a path forward. I’m passionate about my clients and their well-being. I am committed to helping them “cross the bridge” from pain to safety and empowerment. I also enjoy participating in workshops, speaking engagements, webinars, and podcasts. If you’re interested in scheduling a consultation with me, please send an appointment request.

Paula is a fantastic therapist and person. I've been able to grow into the person I have always wanted to be thanks to her, and I was able to accomplish that within a rather short time frame. She has a great approach towards her sessions and is goal oriented in terms of setting a roadmap for treatment and overall improvement. She has exceptional experience and therapeutic approaches that she is able to cater towards anything that could have come up. I adore her and highly recommend her!

My first session with Paula was eye opening… I vented situation and she was very calm patient and offered amazing support/ holistic support as well which I’m all about. I felt calmer after the session and I’m looking forward to see what’s to come to bring back my invincible old self. After my trauma and things I’ve gone through I pray and hope for a newer better self to come to light with the help of Paula session. She has a lot of good wisdom and advice to offer. I’m grateful 🫶🏼
