Paula Subadan

My communication style

My communication style is open and empathetic. I strive to make you feel heard and understood. I'm engaging, positive, warm, friendly, and attuned with my clients. I utilize reflective listening to ensure we connect and share the same goals. I believe the details matter and that it is a privilege to hear your story.

My journey to mental healthcare

I come from a close family and have always been accustomed to caring for others. I always knew I wanted to build a career focused on helping others. Along the way, I found the field of social work, and I haven't looked back since. My background has given me the ability to empathize and understand people in unique and meaningful ways.

My goals for you

I believe in meeting you where you are and helping to guide you to where you need to be. This journey is about progress, not perfection, and everyone is capable of change if they're willing. My goal is that you learn ways to better navigate challenges, cope with stressors, improve relationships, and become a healthier version of yourself over time.

Our first session

During our first session, we'll begin getting to know each other. I'll ask questions to gain insight into your background, challenges, and goals for treatment to ensure we're both working towards the same goals. This is also your opportunity to get to know me and ask questions to aid in building our therapeutic relationship.
