I just started therapy with Paula, but I can tell you that she is there for her patients in all capacities. I feel very comfortable with her. Facing my mental health right now seems possible with Paula.

Paula has been an amazing benefit for me. She takes the time to truly learn about you, allows you to talk, communicate and ask questions that result in a deep understanding and road map towards in my case an understanding, knowledge and path towards healing and preparation for a better overall quality of life. Paula has the experience, knowledge and compassion to have a wonderful impact on your life.

Finding Paula was lifesaving. We found one another when I was in such a time of need, and from the start we have clicked. Her responsiveness is incredible, her passion for this work shines through, and she has never made me feel other than safe in our conversations. She is my saving grace, and I would recommend (and I do!) her as a therapist to anyone and everyone.

Paula is very compassionate yet straightforward. She remembers the details of what is going on and follows up in messages on things we talked about and action items I said I would do, which is very helpful to keep me accountable to myself. She has been helping me get through many tough times that would be very difficult without her support and insight

Amazing therapist! Paula is so knowledgeable and a great listener. Betterhelp is lucky to have such an awesome team member.

On the eve of Thanksgiving I would like to express my gratitude for Paula. She is the first therapist I have had who brings life giving words and real healing in my life. She is very wise and really listens and understands me and uses tools that are very effective for me. I am grateful for Paula!

I would recommend Paula as a therapist to anyone who is looking for someone to talk to about any anger issues that they might have. She finds ways to help you over come any obstacles you are having. Gives you great ideas to use and follows up in the next session to see how and if it work for you. once again I would recommend her to anybody.

Paula’s support and counseling has been life giving. She is a gifted therapist that listens without judgement, teaches patiently, and asks questions that allow me to figure things out in my own time. I have greatly appreciated her wisdom and expertise and would recommend her to anyone interested in therapy.

She’s absolutely wonderful and supportive. She is always there for me and responds to me when I need her. She’s amazing.

Paula is an excellent therapist. I feel she's really able to home in on the core the issues. I'm therapy I've almost always gotten stuck in the interpersonal conflicts I experience and lose the work on the real and deeper issues that are the roots of the conflict or even ways I can experience relationships differently. Paula just has a way of being able to cut right through that like a knife and help me navigate those issues and get to the core; which brings resolution to my perseverations. We can also them track these things back to how I can be better in situations, whether that means I've done something that was hurtful or if I need to recognize hurtful patterns in others and then to not allow those behaviors toward me. But most importantly, she is able to steer us into the core through the things I deal with day to day. And that core is where the healing needs to take place for any hope of permeance in my process.

Paula is both affable & professional. She’s always up to speed and doesn’t require being brought back up to speed regarding my situation. She’s excellent about gently checking in with ideas and opportunities without putting any pressure on me. I’m very pleased with her as a therapist.

I was unsure about going to therapy, not knowing if I would be able to really open up to someone but Paula made me feel very comfortable to openly share. She provides a safe space to talk and has great insight on situations. She also shares great resources throughout the week with me. I’ve grown and healed so much in my last six months of therapy. I’m very thankful for Paula.

I am so glad that Paula and I connected. Her energy is contagious, she's a great listener, she follows up after each appointment and asks how I'm doing, and I can feel the genuine care for my soul. I love the homework that I am assigned. It is very relevant to what I talk about and helps me work through my issues when she's not available. I look forward to seeing her face every week! Thank you, Paula, for being a bright light in this brutaful world!

she’s an incredible therapist that has helped me more than any other therapist i’ve ever had. i feel very supported by her. Paula bas helped me realize things about myself that I never knew and will always accommodate our therapy sessions for what i need that day :)

Paula has been a Godsend to me. She validates my struggle, while challenging me to see things from a different perspective. She gives insight into issues that I have never known, and it has allowed me to find freedom to be me, to love others, and enjoy life in ways I have never been able to before. I am very thankful for her!

Paula has been amazing. I was scared and reluctant to seek out therapy. She has been kind and patient with me. I never thought I would open up as much as I have. It has truly been life changing.

I’ve only had one live session with Paula, but so far I feel confident in the process. Having correspondence in between sessions and the journaling options has been very helpful for me to clear my mind and step back and look at the situation. I appreciate the online support between sessions that she provides.

She really cares about how I’m doing and works her hardest to work with me to get me the help I need when I need it.

I have been meeting with Paula for the last six months and it has without a doubt changed my life for the better. Paula has helped me process a lot of difficult scenarios in my life that have been incredibly beneficial. She has also helped me grow as a person in more ways than I can list. I could not recommend her enough!

Paula is wonderful! I'm so grateful to have her walk awith me in this journey.

I am very happy that I found Paula. She is very understanding. Her voice feels like a warm hug. She has a perfect balance between helping you be comfortable but still challenging you to grow.

Paula is great! I feel as though I've been able to make a lot of progress working with Paula these last couple months. I really appreciate her expertise and resource recommendations.

Paula had allowed me the freedom to express myself, holds me accountable to the truth and helps me see other perspectives I need to understand things beyond my own thinking. She is helping me find freedom in my life I have never remembered feeling. I am very thankful for the help she is giving me!

Paula has been one of the most important in my life this past year. She has been beyond helpful and has walked me through so many important moments in my life. I notice the difference in myself from when we first started to now and I am just forever grateful. I could not recommend Paula enough! She is amazing and incredibly kind, caring, and insightful.

I love my sessions with Paula, she has helped me learn so much about myself.

Paula is an amazing therapist. She allows me to be real. I saw Paula before BetterHelp and would only see her. She has helped me to use skills and be able to get through tough times. She has allowed me to have a safe place to just feel what I need to feel. She has helped me gain skills to be able to solve issues and showed me ways to communicate.

Paula is an excellent therapist. She excels in listening and helping me solve my concerns. She offers great advice, and challenges me when I need it! I recommend her over and over again.

Absolutely amazing, always made sure I knew I was heard, that my feelings were "normal". Always had articles and techniques for me to try and help myself. Always happy to see or hear from me. Only left cause I lost my job, but I'd chose her again in an instant

Paula is incredibly skilled at both allowing time in silence and offering ideas for discussion. I'm very grateful to have her guidance.

Paula is an awesome counselor! She helped me learn so many things about my life that I hadn't realized prior to beginning our therapy together. She's one of the best therapists I've ever seen. Highly recommend her!

I have seen Paula for years. She has been incredibly helpful to me. I don't know what I would have done without her! Respectful, brilliant, kind, funny. I love her.

Paula always listens to me and responds to all of the things that I share with her. She has a lot of wisdom to guide healing but always gives space for me to heal the way that I want and need to heal. She's always believing in me and my potential and is there for the messy parts. She is an expert on what it takes to heal the body and work through trauma...which has been my biggest thing. I have a lot of trauma and some things that I don't even remember, and through working with her, I trust that my body will tell the story and bring me into the lifelong healing that I have been searching for. I highly recommend Paula and BetterHelp because there are real experts working on this platform.

Paula is an incredible counselor! We’ve been having sessions for a few months now and she has helped me learn so many Rhonda that I hadn’t realized about myself prior to our time together. She also responds in a timely manner to messages. Very grateful Paula is on this platform!

Paula has been great to work with. She’s insightful & caring.

Paula is amazing!!! I would highly recommend her to anyone who is going through a challenging season! I have never been to counseling before so I was pretty hesitant. I was also a little nervous about not doing it in person, I was unsure if I'd really be able to build that strong connection. Only a few weeks in and I can say, Paula has exceeded my expectations! She is everything I was looking for in a couselor; kind, respectful, empathetic, compassionate, and just genuinely cares about my feelings and struggles. I am so thankful a friend recommended BetterHelp and I found Paula as a couselor. Thank you so much Paula, for being who you are!

Paula is amazing and has made me feel so comfortable opening up, which isn't easy. She makes it professionally while still feeling like a friendly conversation. I went through a couple counselors before her and it's like a 360 degree difference. Very happy.

Paula is amazing! She just has a way that makes me more confident in my own decision making skills. She listens to my concerns and addresses them.

Paula is a great therapist. She understands my needs and my struggles. She helps encourage me to be the best me.

Best one I've had and I've had a lot!

I really appreciate the time I have with Paula. She listens without judgement; her responses are thoughtful and real. She provides resources for extra information and growth between our sessions.

Paula is great it’s nice to be able to talk someone without bias she helps me realize things about myself without really saying much she just analyses my thoughts and points out the main idea she doesn’t try to persuade my ideas or thoughts. She is great

amazing wholesome woman. she has a beautiful soul who has helped me so much. i was always hesitant about therapy but she makes it so easy.

Paula is the best counselor I’ve ever had. She is a great listener, is very empathetic, I can tell she really cared about her clients. She’s amazing.

I LOVE HER. She is amazing, I’m so thankful for her.

I had an immediate connection with Paula. She really cares about addressing things that I would like to talk about, and she’s extremely supportive and has made counseling a wonderful experience!

Paula has been very helpful and responsive for me. I feel she understands my areas of concern and helps me address them with practical ideas. She is compassionate and respectful, and I feel very much at ease with her.

I wish my friends who are depressed or anxious or have gone through trauma could see Paula. I don't know if this can be a replacement for in person therapy. It's too early to say, but the couple times that I have met with Paula have been transformative. I feel truly heard. She asks me exactly what I need to explore and process. She finds creative ways to help me engage my body, mind, and heart in my own healing journey. She understands what I am saying and isn't judgmental. She acknowledges my experiences and never demeans or questions or belittles what I have to say. My immediate present circumstances have improved by being able to talk with a professional who celebrates my humanity and is a confidential place I can carry my burdens to without it harming my friends and family. I have been a better partner, friend, and family member for it.

I have seen Paula before she was on this platform. She has always been a wonderful listener and allows me the time to think and process. She has one of the kindest hearts of anybody I know. She helps to point me to God and to truly seek what His interest is. Paula is amazing!

Paula is extremely helpful and professional, easy to talk to, and very understanding. She has already helped me process alot of my emotions in just a few weeks.

Paula is awesome! Kind, compassionate, flexible and offers sound advice. I actually see her as a counsellor and a life coach and am so grateful I get to check in with her every week.

Absolutely amazing! She’s helped me a ton

Paula is fantastic. She will find opportunities to expand your thinking and creative ways to cope and work through life’s challenges.

I’ve had one other counselor through my college’s health and wellness center, and both he and Paula were really good listeners. They both make an effort to understand my problems, which is why I would suggest to anyone that they should find a counselor. The reason I really appreciate Paula’s work is that she is very knowledgeable and creative in the way she gives guidance and resources for my concerns. I was worried about finding a counselor through betterhelp because I didn’t know the qualifications and expertise of who I’d be paired with. I had no reason to be worried. Paula’s given me so many resources for finding guidance in my worries and concerns, and I’m beyond appreciative.

Paula is absolutely amazing. She is super informative and helps me process my own emotions. 100% would recommend.

I’ve been working with Paula for almost a month now. She listens so well and gives great feedback. She makes me feel really comfortable and always responds quickly. I would definitely recommend her to anyone, she’s already helped me tremendously!

Paula has been great to work with. She’s a good listener, offers thoughtful suggestions & she often checks in by sending messages during the week that are really considerate & thoughtful.

Paula is great!! She listens to you and responds back so quickly!
