Postpartum Mental Health

Paulina Woolley is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who specializes in supporting individuals through significant life transitions, with particular expertise in postpartum mental health. She creates a nurturing therapeutic environment where new mothers can navigate the emotional complexities, identity shifts, and unique challenges of early parenthood. As someone who has experienced motherhood herself, Paulina brings both professional expertise and personal understanding to her work with postpartum clients, offering support that is informed, authentic, and deeply empathetic.

Her therapeutic approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Bowenian family systems techniques. This multifaceted toolkit allows her to address both immediate emotional needs and deeper relational patterns that may affect a client's well-being. Paulina excels at helping clients develop practical coping strategies while also exploring the underlying narratives and relationships that shape their experiences.

This diverse experience has honed her ability to support clients through various life stages and transitions, with a special sensitivity to the ways that anxiety and depression can manifest during significant life changes. Her approach is both validating and empowering, helping clients reconnect with their strengths even in vulnerable moments.

"I became a therapist because I believe in the power of healing through connection, and I'm deeply drawn to helping others feel seen, heard, and supported. Through our work together, I hope clients gain a stronger sense of self, emotional clarity, and tools that help them navigate life with more confidence, peace, and purpose."
