Paulina Stephens, Licensed Clinical Psychologist

I treat a range of anxiety conditions, including obsessive-compulsive (OCD), social anxiety, trauma, panic attacks, specific fears and phobias, and generalized worry and anxiety. I also specialize in the treatment of hoarding issues, body-focused repetitive behaviors, and tic conditions. I use an individualized blend of solution-focused, cognitive behavioral, and person-centered therapies, as well as the gold standard treatment for obsessive-compulsive (OCD) and anxiety conditions: exposure and response prevention. This approach helps my clients achieve a deeper understanding of their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors, allowing them to achieve greater well-being and confidence via a holistic, multifaceted approach.

I strongly believe in taking the stigma away from \"going to therapy\". No one in this life gets by unscathed, and at some point every human being will go through challenging times. Seeing a therapist can help you cope with a current situation, develop new and improved coping skills, and get a deeper sense of awareness of your thoughts and behaviors. Whether, it\'s going through a trying time in your life or working on a chronic issue, going to therapy is a helpful, productive outlet with endless benefits. \"We don\'t grow when things are easy, we grow when we face challenges\"
