My counseling style is person centered and interactive while treating everyone with respect and genuine concern. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, existential, narrative reframing, psychodynamic and trauma-informed counseling.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Paula Crawford. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Paula's thought-provoking techniques and exercises COMPLETELY opened my eyes - and, from the very first session at that. She's incredibly patient and is a great listener. I appreciated the way that she guided each session in a way that had them flow organically. I've worked with a lot of therapists before, but with Paula I finally feel like I've found a counselor to help me reach a heightened level of self-discovery.
