Dr. Paula Nelson
Change can be really hard. I provide you with a safe and nonjudgmental atmosphere so that we can work together to help you to make the changes that you want to make in your life. I provide individual and couple's counseling for those going through difficult times in their lives and their relationships. I can help you to have better relationships, less worry, and increased self-esteem.

I have been there. I understand and can help you to move forward. I have been in your seat and have experienced my own heartbreaks and heartaches. I get it and will make you feel safe enough to make the changes you really want to make in your life. You will find instructions on how to access and manage your online sessions and resources.
Services
Online counseling or e-therapy is a new way to 'see' a counselor.
Busy schedules, difficulty with traveling to the therapist's office, and privacy concerns are only a few of the reasons given for choosing online counseling.
Once you register on my secure counseling website, I will call you and we will schedule a session at a convenient time for you.
As long as you have a webcam, we will be able to see each other and hear each other in our session as if we were in the same room!
Instead of waiting weeks, or longer, for an appointment or a response, you typically get email responses the same day or you can schedule an online session with me - whichever works best for you.
I see clients online on my HIPAA secure therapy website.
Upon entering the Secure Client Area, please complete the electronic registration and make yourself familiar with the various features included on the site, such as Mail, Journal, and Upcoming Sessions.
Any mail or journaling you do on the site is encrypted and secure for your confidentiality.

I get it and will make you feel safe enough to make the changes you really want to make in your life.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Certified Gottman Marriage and Couples Therapist, Certified EMDR Therapist, and Master Certified Addiction Professional with over 20 years of experience in counseling couples and individuals.
As you can see, I am dedicated to learning and growing myself.
I continually take specialized trainings in order to be the best counselor I can be for my clients.
Most people don't come to marital/couple's counseling.
Rather than general talk therapy which has proven to be ineffective with couples, I am certified in and utilize the Gottman marriage & couples treatment method.
This is based on over 35 years of research by Dr. John Gottman.
Gottman bases his theory on The Sound Relationship House.
The foundation "floors" consist of really knowing each other's worlds, sharing fondness, respect, and admiration, and turning toward one another rather than away from one another.
Research shows that it takes a couple an average of 6 years before they finally come to see a couple's counselor, so the process will take more than a few sessions.
Most of the couples who come to see me can see and feel an improvement by six sessions.
Sessions are an hour and a half.
After our first couple's session, I will meet with each of you individually for one hour just to get more detailed individual family and relationship history.
Should you go to counseling even if your partner is unwilling to join you?
