Joseph Paulauskas LMHC

There comes a time when we recognize the need for change; a time when we must evolve and respond to our inner calling for growth and self-improvement. Perhaps you want to more effectively manage the symptoms of a mental health diagnosis, or your self esteem is worn down by thoughts that you are not enough. Perhaps anxiety limits you. Maybe the same conflicts in relationships arise repeatedly, or you even question your relationship. Perhaps you find yourself in the grips of addictive behaviors that have gotten out of hand, or maybe you have experienced a significant loss that renders you empty. Maybe you struggle with your own identity, past decisions, purpose or meaning. All of these and many more are good reasons to enter into therapy. Recognizing such challenges is a courageous step towards personal growth. By taking this initiative you are embarking on a transformative journey to align your actions and thoughts more closely with your authentic self, leading to greater fulfillment, self-efficacy, and peace. As your therapist, I would be honored to guide you through this process of self-discovery and growth. I aim to see you as a whole person, focusing on your individual experiences and strengths. My approach is multifaceted and tailored to your specific needs. I incorporate both psychodynamic principles to increase awareness, understanding and clarity; and evidence based strategies to craft new effective skills that will empower you to make the changes you seek.
