Professional statement

Paul offers a compassionate, individualized approach to therapy, grounded in evidence-based practices that foster healing and growth. His work is rooted in creating a space of safety and openness, allowing clients to explore their experiences with trust and vulnerability. Through modalities like Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Paul guides clients to tap into their inner strengths, process trauma, and heal at the mental, emotional, and somatic levels. These methods allow for deep emotional processing and integration, helping clients break free from past wounds and create lasting change. Paul’s approach nurtures resilience, encouraging clients to reconnect with their sense of self and step forward with clarity and compassion.

Message to clients

The effects of trauma and untreated mental health conditions can leave individuals feeling stuck and disconnected from their true selves. I’m passionate about guiding clients to reclaim their identity, break free from past pain, and rebuild their lives. In our work together, I offer a warm, supportive space where you can explore your emotions, uncover your strengths, and cultivate resilience. By using evidence-based modalities, we’ll work collaboratively to create lasting transformation and a more compassionate future.

Paul has a Master of Science in Social Work from Columbia University School of Social Work. Paul is a Licensed Master Social Worker, LMSW 107484 at Cerebral. Supervised by Heidi Chiu, Licensed Clinical Social Worker 097227.
