Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Bethlehem, PA

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.

I believe every person has the capacity to grow, heal, and create meaningful change in their life. Sometimes, we just need a safe place to slow down, feel understood, and find our way forward. My goal is to create that space—a place where you can be honest about what you’re experiencing without fear of judgment, and where you can feel supported as you begin to understand yourself in new ways.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I provide compassionate, evidence-based therapy to individuals across the lifespan, from early childhood through older adulthood. I’ve had the privilege of working with clients from age 5 through 90, and I believe every stage of life brings its own challenges, strengths, and opportunities for growth.

I don’t believe therapy is about fixing what is “wrong” with you. It’s about understanding what you’ve been through, recognizing the strengths you already carry, and creating space for something different. I work collaboratively with each person I meet, tailoring our work to their needs, goals, and lived experience. My hope is that, together, we can help you feel more grounded, more connected to yourself, and more confident in your ability to navigate whatever comes next.

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 specialize in helping adults and young adults manage anxiety disorders, panic attacks, chronic stress, and burnout using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other evidence-based approaches. I also support clients experiencing depression, trauma-related symptoms, and life transitions that feel overwhelming or hard to manage alone.

Many of the people I work with are functioning well but internally overwhelmed—dealing with constant worry, racing thoughts, physical symptoms of anxiety, or a persistent sense of being “on edge.” Others notice anxiety affecting their sleep, focus, relationships, or ability to relax and enjoy life.

I am dual-certified in primary care and psychiatry. I am licensed in PA. I offer virtual and in-person appointments. I am accepting new clients.

Finding the right therapist is about finding a balance between someone who truly "gets" it and someone who can help you map out the way forward. I’ve dedicated my career to being both a safe harbor and a catalyst for growth. My approach is rooted in deep empathy, but I am also firmly goal-oriented. Whether we are navigating a specific diagnosis or a difficult life transition, I believe that therapy should provide you with both a sense of peace and a clear sense of direction.
