About Paulina Contreras, AMFT

Hello, I’m Paulina, a bilingual (English/ Spanish) Associate Marriage and Family Therapist with experience providing individual, family, and group therapy. I enjoy working with individuals dealing with a range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, relational issues and life transitions. I believe in a non-judgmental, strength-based, client-centered approach. I am LGBTQIA friendly and committed to providing care that is accepting of all identities and backgrounds. I value creating a safe and empowering space where each person’s experience is honored and their path to healing is supported.

I have a strong background in conducting biopsychosocial Behavioral Health Assessments, creating personalized treatment plans, and utilizing evidence-based tools to conduct risk assessments. Through my academic and clinical training, I have developed a deep appreciation for cultural competence and the importance of family dynamics in the healing process.

I am dedicated to tailoring treatment to the unique needs of each individual and am excited to accompany you on your journey of healing and growth. I look forward to meeting you.

Paulina Contreras, AMFT
