My name is Sodna Paul, and I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP). I truly believe that mental health is just as important as physical health, and I consider it a privilege to walk alongside my clients in their healing and growth. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) with a specialization in Psychiatric Mental Health from St Thomas University. Before becoming a PMHNP, I worked as a registered nurse inpatient psychiatry, Correctional facility and medical-surgical units, which gave me a strong foundation in holistic patient care. I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults across a wide range of mental health concerns, with Depression and anxiety, Bipolar disorder, ADHD, Trauma and PTSD, Substance use disorders, Sleep issues and Lifestyle related mental health concerns. I use a combination of evidence-based medication management, supportive therapy, psychoeducation, and lifestyle coaching to help clients reach their goals.

My mission in therapy is to create a space where clients have the freedom to guide the work towards their goals with a collaborate partner who can assist in the self discovery process. I strive to make therapy feel loving and supportive by providing a place where you can start on the journey to connecting with your inner strength. Self care is important, and therapy is a courageous way to give yourself the care and support you deserve.

Hi there! I'm Michelle, a licensed therapist dedicated to helping individuals achieve emotional well-being. With a background as a Mental Health Counselor from Touro College, I specialize in providing personalized therapy services for children to young adults.

This work is for thoughtful, emotionally aware people navigating seasons of transformation. Many are new mothers rediscovering themselves after birth, survivors of early childhood trauma ready to heal old relational wounds, or individuals untangling painful relationship patterns after a breakup or years of feeling stuck. Together, we explore the unconscious stories, nervous system responses, and relational dynamics shaping your life. My approach blends depth psychology, attachment theory, embodied awareness, and a holistic view of healing to help you create a life that feels deeply aligned with who you're becoming.
