Paul Souza, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Paul!

I specialize in trauma and the reprocessing of distressing experiences and phobias. I am trained in using the EMDR Flash Technique.

My focus

I primarily work with individual adults who struggle with depression, anxiety, grief, life transitions, relationships, trauma, phobias, and distressing experiences.

My approach

I believe that the foundation of effective therapy lies in a good fit between therapist and client. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel empowered to explore their challenges, heal from past wounds, and move forward with clarity and strength.

My communication style

I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel empowered to explore their challenges, heal from past wounds, and move forward with clarity and strength. I communicate in a caring and more direct manner with empathy and compassion.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have a skill set that has helped many of my clients to successfully process and move forward from highly traumatic experiences allowing them to live more meaningful lives.

My goals for you

I approach goal-setting in a collaborative way.
