Paula Green

Paula Green is a licensed counselor with two decades of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and major life changes. She works with adults, teens, and children, and offers practical support for family conflict and caregiving strain. Paula also focuses on adoption and foster care concerns and related family issues.

Her style is straightforward and person-centered. She listens first, then helps clients set clear goals. Sessions focus on skills that make everyday life easier, such as emotion regulation, communication, and coping tools. She blends talking with hands-on strategies so people leave with concrete steps to try between meetings.

Paula’s background includes work in clinics and private practice. She spent a decade supporting survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault, including work in a shelter and with domestic violence courts. That experience informs a careful approach when safety and recovery are central concerns.

For eight years she counseled at St. Luke’s Center for Neurobehavioral Medicine, working with children and families both in outpatient care and in an intensive partial hospitalization program. That setting gave her experience with complex behavioral and emotional challenges.

Paula uses several evidence-based approaches to tailor care to each person. She aims to build skills, reduce distress, and strengthen family communication. She asks questions, listens, and helps people plan realistic next steps toward feeling better.
