I have had great success helping individuals & couples identify and resolve persistent issues helping them live the life they want. My passion is to motivate you to realize your full potential and achieve your dreams.

Hi I'm Paula A. Scandrol, Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have been in practice with Alliance Psychological Services since 2008. I provide services for individuals (age 6 through adult), couples and families. Human beings are complex and there is no one approach that fits all. It's always my goal to understand the unique needs of each client and to personalize their treatment to those needs.

You're feeling misunderstood and overwhelmed. You feel "other". And our current social and political climate is exacerbating it. You feel like no one gets it. You have such a hard time trusting people, so the idea of taking the first step to start therapy is terrifying. You don't feel like yourself anymore--and sometimes you wonder what that even is. You feel shame. You feel like you simply "don't have time for therapy", but also know you can't continue like you have been. You want to feel more grounded, balanced, and resilient. But you have no idea how to get there.

** I am Certified TeleHealth Therapist.** Are you ready for a change?

You want to feel affirmed, respected and validated. From Day 1. You're tired of feeling dismissed--you want to be heard. You're exhausted from merely surviving and you're ready to finally SHOW UP to your life. You want a therapist who makes every session worth your time, not a therapist that just nods their head. You need someone who challenges you, but celebrates every victory along the way. You don't have time to dance around certain parts of your life--you want to finally feel BETTER.

I am committed to guiding individuals toward inspired changes in a safe place without judgment. For over twenty years I've helped adults with anxiety, depression, personality concerns, and relationship concerns. Each of us has unique needs, but can find new mindfulness and empowering self-awareness. Mindfulness can be a state of liberating awareness and also an active practice. It can promote psychological flexibility, a return to the present moment and the resolving of complex trauma-related problems. In the words of Clarisse Lispector, "Life is for anyone who is brave enough to risk and humble enough to learn."

Are you looking for a warm, accepting, non-judgmental experience that guides you toward concrete and meaningful changes in your life? I work with adults, couples and adolescents presenting with a variety of concerns, including but not limited to: trauma/PTSD, depression, anxiety, OCD, eating concerns, low self-esteem, relational problems, ADHD, adjusting to specific stressors, and grief/loss. I am also bi-lingual, fluent in both English and Spanish.

Your mental health is a valuable investment in your quality of life.

Now offering evening and weekend appointments for individual therapy. I specialize in the treatment of mood and anxiety disorders, primarily depression, anxiety and bipolar disorder. I work to help clients understand how their symptoms developed, process how it's effecting their lives and explore different strategies and skills they can use to build mastery and achieve important goals in their life. I use psychodynamic conceptualization with behavioral/change oriented strategies to help clients foster insight and create a life with meaningful change and fulfillment.

Life can be overwhelming, stressful and confusing. I get that. Sometimes we all need a little help navigating through the rough waters. I will listen to your concerns and hear what you are saying and notice what you are not saying. I will help you identify new coping skills to deal with the specific life difficulties you are facing. I view therapy as a journey that you and I will take together to figure things out in a warm, supportive, and safe environment.

In a nutshell, I help stressed out and depressed individuals, struggling and troubled couples, and those who put themselves last. If you feel stuck, or are tired of recycling the same unresolved issues and patterns, therapy can help you develop effective strategies for coping with and overcoming these issues. And in the process, you can also create healthier daily living habits (e.g., exercise, meditation) and reset your goals and path.

My ideal client is someone who is looking to “find themselves” or who feels that who they are “on the outside” is different than who they are “inside.” Perhaps they're looking to find more meaning in life, personally, professionally, or both. They might not know where to start, in terms of being happier and more fulfilled, but that is their general goal. They want to grow as a person, but perhaps need help with motivation, or implementation. They're in the midst of, or foresee major life changes, and feel challenged or overwhelmed. They might need to talk, and to learn skills to help them adapt to the changes in their lives.

It can be difficult to take the initial step to contact a therapist. I want you to feel comfortable and supported.

LIFE.ISN’T.EASY. And unfortunately, society often sends us the message that we have to have it all together and *should* know how to navigate life’s challenges…but in my opinion, that’s a load of crap. It’s okay to FEEL. It’s okay to not know how to handle a situation or what to do next. It’s okay to have mental health challenges. And you don’t have to continue on this journey of feeling & coping & figuring it all out by yourself.

Life can be very stressful, and different things may bring someone to therapy. I provide a safe place to explore and learn, as I offer my compassion and support through your journey. I have a lot of experience with stress and/or trauma, as well as relationship issues. I tend to be gentle, compassionate, offer solutions and homework assignments, but realize deep down you have the answers, and are hard wired to heal under the right circumstances. I see primarily individuals and couples due to my schedule being strictly daytime (business hours)

It is a courageous act to trust others with our innermost pain, desires, joy, and worries. I'm proud of you for being here, and proud of you for considering this step in your journey.
