Paul's approach is guided by his training in holistic counseling at Salve Regina University and his certification in Hakomi Psychotherapy, a therapy approach that takes into account the emotions in the body as they relate to psychological processes.

He combines Hakomi with other approaches such as interpersonal therapy and supportive therapy to address his clients' concerns in a holistic, emphatic way.
Anxiety - Generalized anxiety, social anxiety, panic attacks
Depression - Sleep and energy disruption, overall mood disturbance, inability to enjoy yourself, and difficulty being motivated, amongst many other symptoms
Relationships - Feeling unsatisfied in your partnership; communication challenges; addressing issues of power and voice; contemplation of separation; questioning one’s place in the relationship; breakups, friendships, dating
Young adult life transitions - Coping with difficult or impactful life changes, such as moving to a new area, relationship transitions, child rearing, or career changes; learning self-care to better manage resulting stress
Attachment challenges - Attachment theory involves learning about how our bodies and brains are shaped by our relationships with other people. Attachment theory helps us understand how our formative relationships with our primary caregivers can profoundly influence the kind and quality of relationships we form throughout our lives. Research indicates that the neuro-attachment circuitry throughout our bodies is not permanent, and that we can re-wire and re-learn new and more secure methods of attachment throughout our lives.
Mindfulness based Body-Centered Psychotherapy - Body-Centered Psychotherapy involves therapeutic approaches that integrate a client’s physical body into the therapy process. Also referred to as Somatic Psychotherapy, this is a process that recognizes the intimate relationship between the human body and the psychological well-being of a person. Body-Centered Psychotherapists view the body as a resource for self-discovery and healing.
Hakomi Psychotherapy - Certification in Hakomi Psychotherapy, a therapy approach that takes into account the emotions in the body as they relate to psychological processes
