About Paula Gilbert Therapy

Paula Gilbert Therapy has evolved from a lifetime of working with people in a wholistic way: body, mind and spirit.  

Together we will collaborate using your current challenges and symptoms as guideposts toward knowledge and personal change.

In my Self-Reconnection Process you will engage the resources you already possess and learn new positive habits and skills.  Whatever has been neglected within yourself will be seen, heard and integrated.  You will organically revise your life story.  No matter what pain you may be feeling now, this process will assist you in your healing.

I am passionate about your right to be deeply seen and heard.  You deserve to live your best life with self-compassion, curiosity and aliveness.

If any of this resonates for you, reach out to me for a Free no obligation Clarity Session.
