Hello my name is Paula Poblocki and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I received my MS from Rutgers University in Clinical Mental Health. I have been described by clients as being "authentic/genuine, down-to-earth, no-nonsence, and spirited " in sessions. I am passionate about helping clients identify and overcome the obstacles in their lives, so they can enhance their overall quality of life. I aim to provide solution-focused, affirming, and holistic therapy. Although I pride myself in being a well-rounded therapist, I do have a background in working with Women's Issues, College Students/ College Transitions, Substance Use Disorder Maintenance, and Mindfulness/Meditation. I am also an LGBTQIA+ Affirming Therapist too!
