Paula Crawford

Paula Crawford

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 10 mi away • Philadelphia, PA


Hello, My name is Paula Crawford, I am a licensed professional counselor, My belief as a therapist is that each individual has the right and responsibility to live a life in wholeness! Yes, life always is lif-ing and sometimes we need an objective partner/facilitator to join on the journey. Sometimes, we can only make sense of our choices and decisions through self-reflection. Other times, we need support with healing. Therapy can be that space. Please feel free to review my bio and if you feel we could be a good fit, reach out to me.

Wishing you a blessed and productive day today!
