I believe every individual has the capacity for growth, healing, and positive change. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to navigate life's challenges with confidence and resilience.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I provide compassionate, evidence-based care to individuals across the lifespan, serving clients from age 5 through older adulthood (100+). I work collaboratively with each client to build on their strengths, foster personal growth, and support meaningful, lasting change.
Hi, I'm Paulina. I'm a U.S. Army veteran and Pennsylvania native who returned home to earn my Master of Social Work and pursue my passion for helping others as a therapist. I enjoy creating a space where people can openly discuss life's challenges, including grief, loss, anxiety, and depression. My therapy style is practical and solution-focused, with an emphasis on finding what works for you. I see therapy as a collaborative process of learning, experimenting, and adjusting along the way, helping you build tools and strategies that support meaningful, lasting change. When I'm not working, you'll find me cooking, baking, exercising, or spoiling my cat.
There is no reason too small or too large to seek guidance. I believe that everyone's feelings have value & deserve worth! I am a kickboxer & dance teacher outside of therapy & value the power of creativity & youthfulness to foster a mindful, balanced lifestyle.
My core belief is that healing happens when we reconnect our minds and our bodies. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Somatic Therapy to help you uncover the deeply ingrained, harmful patterns that may be holding you back. By understanding these dynamics, we can work together to reframe negative cycles into intentional, more supportive choices.
I am a warm, kind, non-judgmental listener that has been through a lot of adversity in my life. Due to the hard times I have struggled to overcome I work hard to show both understanding and compassion.
I work with adolescents and adults who want more than just healing and coping-I help folks connect the dots for how to live a more successful and joyful life. About half of my practice is focused on performance psychology, while the other half focuses on overcoming depression, trauma, and anxiety. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, driven, and curious. They're not only looking to feel better-they want to know why they feel the way they do. As I often say: descriptions can validate, but explanations heal. Together, we connect the dots between your experiences, patterns, and goals in order to thrive.
When working with clients, I try to create a safe, non-judgmental space that will allow them to honestly share what is going on. I believe that our work together is a partnership, so I respect your feelings, beliefs, opinions and process. I am versatile in evidence-based practice methods, including EMDR and Motivational Interviewing, to help bring you clarity and relief.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Bethlehem
Searching for therapists in Bethlehem starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. You may be looking for care related to anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look at the specialties and approaches listed in their profiles, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or family therapy. These details can help you understand whether a therapist’s experience fits your needs before you book.
Bethlehem has a smaller local therapist market than nearby larger cities, so virtual appointments can help expand your options while still letting you choose someone licensed in Pennsylvania. In-person sessions may work well if you prefer an office setting near South Bethlehem, North Bethlehem, or the Lehigh Valley area. Virtual sessions may be a better fit if your schedule, commute, or local availability makes office visits harder to plan. When narrowing your search, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading therapist bios can also give you a clearer sense of their communication style and what sessions may be like.
Therapy in Bethlehem can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you start care. Headway helps you find Bethlehem therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, are accepting new patients, and offer clear cost estimates before booking. You can browse therapists, review bios, compare virtual and in-person options, and book directly when you’re ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
