Are you holding everything together on the outside while feeling exhausted on the inside? You don’t have to carry that weight alone. I’m Paris Freeman, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and I view therapy as a collaborative space to help you reclaim your peace, regain control, and feel truly heard. Whether you are navigating grief, managing daily stressors, or searching for practical tools to handle life’s transitions, we will work together at a pace that honors your unique journey; helping you restore balance to your mind, body, and spirit.
Think of our first session as a conversation, not an intake exam. It’s a low-pressure space where you can simply land and show up as you are; no perfection required and no pretense. We’ll spend our time getting to know each other, unpacking what brought you here, and exploring what you hope to achieve. My priority is to build a safe, comfortable environment where you feel genuinely supported and heard, while walking alongside you at a pace that honors your journey so our work together feels empowering from the very start.
What makes my practice distinct is the blend of high-level clinical skill and true human connection. I bring active listening, patience, and deep attunement to every session; creating a safe space where you never have to perform or minimize what you're feeling. I’m here to help you uncover the strengths you already possess, replace overwhelming cycles with actionable coping tools, and move forward at a pace that respects your boundaries. Drawing from trauma-informed care, evidence-based tools, and specialized grief work, we’ll build a personalized toolkit for your healing. I don't just help you manage day-to-day symptoms; I help you build a solid foundation so you can feel whole, grounded, and fully in charge of your life.
I work with older adolescents (13-17) and adults who are navigating grief, trauma, loss, or major life transitions. You may be coping with a recent loss, feeling stuck emotionally, or experiencing stress that impacts your daily life and relationships. Whether your pain feels heavy or hard to explain, you don’t have to face it alone. I am here to support you as you work toward clarity and emotional balance.

I believe in a therapy experience that is as practical as it is supportive. Through my extensive work with trauma-informed CBT, I help you gently uncover unhelpful thought patterns and replace them with meaningful tools to navigate life’s stressors. Whether you’re looking to manage overwhelming emotions or simply find better ways to cope, I’m here to help you build a life that feels more manageable, resilient, and bright.
Healing from loss is a deeply personal journey, and there is no 'right' way to navigate it. I have dedicated much of my practice to supporting those moving through the complexities of loss, including the unique challenges of foster care or separation from caregivers. Together, we’ll create a safe space to honor your emotions and process your experience at a pace that feels right for you, helping you move forward while staying meaningfully connected to what and who you have lost.
You deserve a space where you feel truly safe, heard, and in control of your own healing. My approach is rooted in a deep understanding of how trauma in any form shapes our lives. We will work as a team to understand your thoughts and emotions without ever rushing the process. By blending compassionate care with practical tools, I’m here to help you reclaim your sense of peace and feel empowered in your daily life.
I believe that you already possess incredible internal resources; sometimes you just need a clear path to access them. In our work together, we will focus on your strengths and your hopes for the future rather than getting stuck in the problems of the past. This approach is designed to be practical and goal-oriented, helping you identify small, manageable steps that lead to meaningful progress. My goal is to help you see what is already working in your life so you can build on those successes and move toward the life you want with confidence.
