In this world it is hard to find people who are willing and caring to aid us and walk with us through our troubles. I was one of them until I found Paula, who is a sweet hearted kind and caring soul who is willing to walk with you through your battles and aid you. I had some childhood traumas I didn’t know how to handle and work through them I also had problems with with social interactions.You have helped me and my partner get through things and hard moments and improve our ability to understand each other. Thank you Paula for everything you’ve done to help me improve.

Greetings
I have always had a deep affection for the field of Human Services since the day my siblings came to me seeking advice for whatever problems they had. That personal experience led me to peruse my affection for counseling.
My educational credentials consist of a Master’s in Human Services, License Professional Counselor in both New Jersey & Pennsylvania, and a National Certified Counselor. Additionally, I have extensive training and experience in providing holistic personal development through behavior modification to individuals from all walks of life.
For more than 30 years, I have been blessed with opportunities to provide therapeutic counseling in systems such as: Child Welfare, Criminal Justice, Educational, Cooperate sector, and Military Family Life (all branches). This interaction has provided me with impeccable communication and engagement skills. My eclectic treatment approach is distinct, genuine, and personable using Cognitive Behavioral and Client Centered Therapy. My energetic personality coupled with a sense of humor has always allowed me to engage the most resistant client.
I have come to realize in any therapeutic counseling relationship, to effectively correct thinking and behavioral patterns that produce life long change, the client must be empowered how everything starts and ends with the individual. As a Therapist, I am the instrument that provides a genuine safe space for you to be you while welcoming change inch by inch with the belief, “All things work together for an abundance of good”.
Together, Let’s Do This!!!!

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Paula is phenomenal! After trying 3 other counselors she was my perfect match. I am so thankful and extremely blessed to have her in my life, she has helped me through a very dark season of my life. Paula listens, she listens to every single thing I have to say, she doesn’t devalue my feelings but challenges me to face them and to find the root. My sessions with her have been life changing. I absolutely love her professionalism, her flexibility, and her care. I would change her for any other counselor in the world.
I’m shocked at how perfectly matched I was to Paula. I’m so happy to have her as my counselor, I feel like she understands exactly what I’m going through & she gives me solutions that I didn’t have confidence to even think about. I can’t wait to see what the rest of our journey will look like.
Wonderful therapist.. Really listened and gave useful advice !
Paula Martin is the bomb.com. The best ever, hands down.
I've spent one year with my therapist. I always look forward to our sessions as it gives me an outlet to share my feelings, concerns, and sometimes to just vent. Paula has been extremely professional, personable, kind and understanding. I'm really thankful to have come in contact with Paula.
Paula is amazing, she has provided tools in areas that I need help in!

Paula is amazing.! She listens, and really makes me give thought about who I am and what is important in my life to make me happy. I look forward to every session with her!
Paula is amazing. She listens and asks deep questions. She is very compassionate but pushes me to try to understand what I want and need. I would strongly recommend her to anyone.
Paula has done a fantastic job of giving me more confidence in my life but also providing a safe place to unpack traumas that I’ve been holding in for far too long. Her kind but focused demeanor has helped me a lot in achieving a better relationship with myself and the things I want to accomplish.
This is my first time in therapy. I have never really felt comfortable talking to strangers. Paula is very insightful, concerned, caring and easy to talk to. Long story short.. Paula is amazing
Thank you for being there Paul as you're great at what you do!
It has been an absolute joy having Paula as my therapist. She is kind, warm, and goal oriented. Paula has assisted me with being able to focus my energy on goal at a time and I enjoy meeting with her each week. She holds you accountable, encourages you, and pushes you to go after what you want. I would recommend her to anyone.
Paula is a very kind and thoughtful therapist. She knows when to ask questions and also when to listen. I have a lot of thanks for her!
Paula is the bomb dot com. She listens and gives me strength and the words I need to do what I need to do. I could not have a better counselor at this time in my life if I tried. She inspires me every week with each session. I am so grateful for getting matched with her. It was definitely meant to be. PAULA IS THE THE BEST. That's it plain and simple.
My counselor is amazing. She makes me feel comfortable each time we speak and always provides me with solutions to help me. I feel as if we are family.
Paula Martin has taught me so many things during our sessions. She has helped me become stronger in ways I didn’t think I could. What I saw as weaknesses she saw as strengths. When I was a mess and had no direction she helped me through it. Not only did we talk about bad things but also good. I genuinely feel so lucky I got the chance to be paired with Pula Martin. My only hope is others can be as positively impacted as I was. I can not thank her enough for letting me feel like I can breathe again.
Paula is a compassionate, experienced, and amazing listener. She helped me get to a place in my life that I have fought and struggled to get to, for far too long. Sharing strategies, tools, and beautiful words of advice, Paula taught me so much about life, relationships, and most importantly myself. I think of Paula as my guardian angel who guided me to a place of peace that I hope to stay. Anyone who has the privilege of working with this phenomenal lady will come out with a stronger sense of self and a true appreciation of life and all of its possibilities. Sometimes you just have to finally let go of all that has gotten in your way…Paula will guide you in that journey.
I absolutely loved having Paula as my counsellor. She is funny, has such a warm personality and a beautiful smile, so it’s impossible to not feel at ease when talking to her. Paula is a great listener, very empathetic, encouraging and supportive. She really helped me work through my issues and to find coping mechanisms which have left me feeling empowered moving forward. I am very grateful to have met Paula and for the positive impact she has made on my life.
It has been a pleasure working with Paula and I absolutely would recommend her services to others in search of a counselor.
