Hi, I’m Paula Duchmann, LCSW

Paula brings a strong background in both school-based and clinical settings, having worked as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, School Social Worker, and School-Based Clinician while also serving as an advocate within the school system. This experience gives her a practical understanding of how emotional, behavioral, and academic challenges intersect in real life—not just on paper.

She works with children, teens, and adults navigating ADHD, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, behavioral challenges, anger, adjustment issues, trauma, and relationship concerns. Utilizing her expertise in mental health therapy, Paula doesn’t take a one-size-fits-all approach—she meets clients where they are and helps them make sense of patterns that feel overwhelming or stuck.

Paula’s Approach

As an EMDR-trained therapist, Paula integrates evidence-based approaches with a grounded, supportive style and emphasizes trauma-informed care. Her goal is to help clients not just cope, but actually move forward in a way that feels meaningful and sustainable.
