I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADC II) with over 25 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families as they navigate life and the concerns that arise. I specialize in addiction, trauma, and co-occurring mental health challenges. I bring a deep commitment to meeting people where they are in their process. In my practice, I offer a warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed space where clients feel seen, heard, and supported. I believe meaningful change happens when we honor each person’s lived experience and work together toward self-identified goals at a pace that feels safe and manageable. I meet clients where they are, whether they are just beginning to explore change or looking to deepen their healing and personal growth.
Life brings experiences that one may not want to navigate alone and therapy can provide a space for sharing and working through them. My name is Paola, and I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, and life changes that may feel difficult to navigate alone. My goal is to provide a safe and supportive space where you may process your thoughts and emotions, better understand your experiences, and work together to identify solutions.
I’m a bilingual (English/Spanish) LCSW who helps individuals navigate anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions. I will strive to meet my client's needs. Life tends to take us on various journeys. Not all clients are the same, and everyone has the right to their healing process. We will work as a team to overcome challenges.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Modesto
Searching for therapists in Modesto starts with finding someone whose training matches the support you want. Therapists may work with concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, and stress. As you compare Modesto therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and experience with your specific needs. A therapist’s bio can help you understand how they work, what kinds of concerns they support, and whether their style seems like a fit.
In a mid-sized city like Modesto, your options may include therapists with local offices as well as California-licensed therapists who offer virtual sessions. In-person care may fit if you prefer meeting near home, work, or familiar areas of the city. Virtual therapy may fit better if your schedule, transportation, or location makes office visits harder to plan. When narrowing your search, consider appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation before you book.
Therapy in Modesto can be expensive without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you compare therapists who take insurance, review estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and see who is accepting new clients. You can browse profiles, check availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
