About Paula
Paula is a warm and approachable Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist who treats her clients like human beings and not patients. Originally from Mexico, Paula takes a very integrated approach and believes our bodies hold the wisdom to help us heal. Paula is enthusiastic about therapy and personal growth, and strongly advocates for her clients to live the life that they want to live.
Paula obtained a Social Service Worker diploma from Humber College and a Bachelor of Social Work (honours) from York University. Paula started her career in Social Work in 2003, and participated in organizational work supporting women against violence, refugees, and members from marginalized populations, focusing on immigration settlement and outreach.
This meaningful work led her to seek other outlets to support and connect with people from a holistic place. She graduated from a five-year Psychotherapy program at the Gestalt Institute of Toronto while managing Integrative Health Clinics focused on functional medicine, chronic pain, women’s health, and hormones. Paula's unique approach to therapy integrates her Social Work background, ten years experience in the health and wellness industry and her mindfulness training. Paula is passionate about empowering her clients and works with individuals suffering from low self-esteem and body image, life transitions, depression, and anxiety.
She works with adults to create a safe space to explore this innovative, client-centered approach to therapy. In that space, she collaborates with the client to establish boundaries, build rapport, identify blocks, unfinished business, and new opportunities for growth.
