More about Paul
- 3 years' experience

- LMHC
I am a licensed mental health counselor licensed in Massachusetts. Throughout my career I have worked with adolescents suffering from addiction, elderly people in hospice, men who have committed domestic violence, LGBT+ youth, and people grieving the loss of a loved one.
I’m also an ordained minister, having been ordained in the United Church of Christ since 1999. I have always believed in treating everyone with respect and compassion.
Therapy is not easy, and it certainly isn’t always fun. But you have taken the first steps toward a happier and more fulfilling life. I look forward to going along on a journey with you.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
