Hello!
My name is Paul Andrew Germany. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas. I have over 15 years of experience in the mental health field and have worked with people from teens to seniors of differing back grounds, cultures, beliefs, and life choices. The majority of my career I have been employed by UTMB-CMC as a Mental Health Clinician.
I can’t remember a time when I was not fascinated and intrigued by the subject of psychology and mental health; and it remains one of my passions to this day. I pursued my BA in psychology from the University of Texas at Austin and continued my post-graduate studies in clinical psychology at Stephen F. Austin State University earning my MA. While working in the field full-time I continued to enroll in advanced counseling courses and exceeded the state’s criteria to become a License Professional Counselor. With years of continuing education and the motivation to be most effective counselor possible, I have stayed up to date with emerging theories, evidence-based techniques, and am proficient in many counseling methods. My counseling style is tailored to the individual with whom I’m working, however, I treat all with compassion, empathy and respect.
The techniques I tend to utilize most often are those that have shown to be most effective. They include Cognitive Behavioral, Client Centered, Solution Focused, and Mindfulness Based Therapies. However, this again is dependent upon the issues we are addressing and goals you wish to achieve. I have experience treating individuals and groups with a wide range of mental health issues. From life coaching to treating patients with chronic mental health disorders in an inpatient setting, from agoraphobia to trichotillomania, there are only a few areas out of my wheelhouse. In those rare cases, I would work just as hard helping you find a therapist better suited to your needs. Whether you are seeking help for a severe issue and require long term therapy or you are just wanting an old school psychodynamic experience with a warm and non-judgmental ear to listen, I’m here.
I commend you for taking this first step towards a better you; now let’s get to work.

I have seen Paul for a while now and always appreciate his knowledge and insight!

He is amazing. Truly the most kind and understanding person. He sees the world not through the lens everyone else sees but how it really is. He is insightful, thoughtful, and very reflective.

Paul has helped me so much. This is my first time in therapy and I was really scared to start, but Paul makes it easy to open up. He really cares about his clients.

Paul gives me all the time I need to express my feelings, even when those thoughts take time to get it all out. His professionalism and caring comes through during each session and online interaction.

I love Sir Paul. He is extremely intelligent and understanding. My life has changed for the better with his help. He has brought so much awareness to my many issues and has given me many tools and ideas to combat those issues. I have experienced so much healing. I am extremely comfortable talking to him and the level of trust I have built with Paul is reassuring. He really does care. Paul should run for president. Im forever grateful for gentlemen such as Paul. If I could wish for one thing, it would be for Paul to have everything his wise and warm heart desires. He deserves it.

Paul has helped me tremendously in so many ways. He understands me very well. It’s like he knows what I’m thinking and how I’m feeling. He has given me great advice and work sheets to help me through my struggles. I would highly recommend Paul for anything you are struggling with.

Paul has been a great steer in the right direction from the start, I didn't take us very long to have breakthroughs due to the respect and experience he displayed right from the go. As we continued and new issues came up in my life we simply would address them and worked on them at my convenience. As my kids would say 10/10 would recommend lol, but I definitely do.

Always on time & prepared, very methodical. Paul is an expert in the mental health field but also incredibly approachable. That combination makes him one of the best.

Paul has been my therapist for about 8 months now. When I began therapy with him I had very debilitating anxiety and obsessive thoughts and cumpulsions that were negatively impacting my work, studies and personal life. Paul taught me skills to challenge anxious and obsessive thoughts which helped me tremendously. I felt it was very easy to speak to Paul about complex issues as he is a great, non judgemental listener but is also very knowledgeable and experienced in his field. I really appreciate all the support throughout the months, and would definitely recommend Paul as a therapist.

Paul was a perfect match for my therapy needs. I felt comfortable speaking freely and working through thoughts and emotions with him from the first session. He helped me understand the process of my emotions and gave me tools to help me grasp and control them. I appreciate all the help that he has given me in the short time we had together !

Paul is extremely personable and listens to all concerns or anything else you would like to talk about very intently. He tells you straight and speaks in terms that you can understand. Great guy and even better therapist!!!

Highly recommended

Paul is very responsive and is a good listener. He’s good about not just telling you what you want to hear but what you need to hear. Paul also has recommended several videos, books and other references to further help as that’s something I’ve expressed an interest in (doing my own reading/research/growth). I’m grateful for his help over the past year.

Paul, is awesome. Down to earth and listens carefully. Does not push any ideas and just guides the process with some deep insights.
Written on Sep 28, 2022 after therapy with Paul for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and bipolar disorder
He’s funny, patient, and present. Paul was a great match for me. He would match my mood to help me feel comfortable and balance me when I would be unstable. He would always listen to what I say and make sure he understood my perspective on it. Very on top of remembering what I would say in previous sessions and made me feel very heard. Great at responding to my messages and even better and helping me articulate my thoughts. 10/10 would recommend

I have tried therapy several times and never felt like I was safe enough to be really honest, until Paul. He hears what I’m trying to say even when I have a hard time articulating it. He makes me feel so validated in whatever I am feeling. I feel more myself than I have in years and Paul has been a key part of that shift for me. I would recommend him a thousand times over, but just make sure there is still a weekly spot left for me!
Written on Jun 02, 2022 after therapy with Paul for 2 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, and relationship issues
Paul is very easy to talk to, he makes me feel comfortable sharing my thoughts and feelings, I feel he fully understands my problems and concerns, he listens and gives valuable feedback. I feel we are making good progress and I will definitely continue my sessions with him.

Paul continues to be a balancing voice in my life, I appreciate his calm demeanor and realistic expectations for my improvement. He has been a great partner in improving my mental health
Written on May 18, 2022 after therapy with Paul for 4 months on issues concerning depression, and stress, anxiety
I have been in 2 sessions with Paul so far and already feel a great weight lifted. His insights into how certain experiences have affected my behaviour are eye opening. I am very happy to be learning about how to think slightly differently, as well as understand why sometimes I feel the way I feel.
Paul also provides support and educated insight whenever I make a journal entry (which is often).
I highly recommend Paul and the betterhelp team, and am very glad to have joined the network.

Couldn’t ask for a better therapist!

I can’t express enough about what an amazing therapist Paul is! he has given me insight and prospective on situations / areas of my life I was blind to. He’s helped me find ways to cope and understand the situations in my life objectively but also holding me accountable when needed. I’ve never felt judged or misunderstood even with some of my craziest situations. He’s listened to my endless voice messages of difficult moments in my life while continuing with to provide guidance, hold space, and revisit or dive deeper when needed! I appreciate his work immensely and I can’t imagine having a different therapist!

It's important for me to work with someone who knows what they are taking about and Paul certainly knows his stuff. He is very easy-going and my day seems more calm/relaxed when I get to speak to him first thing in the morning. After working with Paul for a number of weeks I've decided to sign up, longer-term.
Written on Jan 22, 2022 after therapy with Paul for 1 month on issues concerning stress, anxiety, and parenting issues
Paul has really helped me over the difficult time I am having. He listens, gives advice and makes me feel very positive after each session. I am still in the sharing information stage but I am confident I'll come out stronger and more confident. Paul is also quick to respond and I cannot thank him enough.

It's my first time taking therapy and I'm grateful it was with Paul. Whether you are expecting for a nonjudgmental ear or someone to help validate your feelings and nudge you towards a different, less painful perspective, Paul can help you.

Paul has been kind, responsive and healing. He is willing to provide a perspective and guide, he’s also accommodating to my style and therapy desires. He’s super responsive and flexible. Plus he’s got an interesting background and some great story… I would highly recommend him to anyone

I am new to betterhelp and have so far found the experience very easy to use and has been very helpful to me. Betterhelp matched me with therapist Paul Germany and I have found Paul very helpful and very understanding of my needs. He listens well, gives advice and provides information to help me get through this tough time in my life.

Paul Germany is a very down to earth chilled guy which I like as I’d feel more awkward with counsellors who are too formal and clinical. However his ability to untangle the knot you struggle to untangle by yourself is very insightful and professional. He is like having an objective friend who is on your side cheering, who happens to be very good at what he does, instead of your other friends who may not know how to help you even if they wanted to, and in-real-life friends and family sometimes give you bad advise as they are too involved in your life.

I really appreciate how affordable this company is. I had to wait 3 months with my insurance to see a therapist. In a time of crisis in my life, I knew that was not acceptable. I'm really grateful for my counselor Paul. He's really easy going and easy to talk to. I really don't think he understands how important he is in my life right now. I can feel myself healing from the inside out and it makes me wonder why I didn't start sooner. Thank you Paul if you are reading this.
