Paula Comm
Hi, my name is Paula and I am a licensed professional clinical counselor. I have extensive experience in management, executive coaching, addictions, co-dependency, family systems, organizational development, anxiety disorders and mood disorders. My approach to treatment is collaborative - one in which the process is directed by the goals of the clients and tools are explored, learned and practiced to move toward desired change. In order for change to occur, I believe its important to build a trusting relationship that offers support, empathy and validation for past experiences and feelings. I believe movement or change occurs at different paces for different individuals, so treatment is individualized based on the clients needs. I also assist clients in recognizing their strengths, develop unused resources and learn new skills to decrease symptoms and increase effective ways of managing everyday life.
First session
A brief introduction to therapy, how sessions will work, policies in working together and setting up goals for therapy.
Strengths
I have an understanding of co-dependency and how it impacts relationships within a family system. Whether the behavior is enabling, helicopter parenting, or inability to set limits, I work with parents and families to work on creating healthy boundaries and relationships. I have extensive background in organizational development and executive coaching - does your impact your personal life and how can you improve your skills in the work environment?
Ideal clients
