Mrs. Paula has helped me to get back to the person I know I am meant to be. I struggled with severe anxiety and some depression. But talking to her and giving me the tools I needed to succeed has been such an accomplishment for myself. I feel so much more present and excited to spend time with my family and friends. I feel like I can tackle more hardships now because of the expertise she has presented to me. She has motivated me to feel more comfortable and happy to start my journey to becoming a happier and more successful person.

Paula Fowler is a professional counselor. After she works with you to find the topic that needs to be addressed. She is well versed on many resources to assist you in the area that you want help in. She is not overbearing at all. She suggests materials and exercises to help but never forces anything. An easy ear to talk to with a well educated mind that can follow through. I strongly recommend her.

She is very good at validating your feelings and thoughts and helps make my situations less complicated and overwhelming to me.
