I am a licensed psychotherapist with over 35 years of experience in Psychotherapy, Relationship/Marriage Counseling and Organizational Development and Transformation. Before becoming a licensed psychotherapist, I was a wooden boatbuilder, USCG Licensed Captain, businessman and educator. I still am. Over the years, a diverse spectrum of individuals, couples and groups have arrived in my practice with an equally diverse spectrum of challenges …some common …some not so common. We have worked on them together, usually with satisfying success for all concerned.

Regardless of your suffering, there is a way through it and because we each have our own way of processing emotional wounds, I take an individualized approach to help you transform pain into healing and growth. I specialize in addressing trauma, which includes developmental, generational, and shock traumas. Through an integrated approach, my work is about healing the soul and finding light and joy again in body, mind, heart, and spirit. My work is truly transformational, according to many of my clients.

You're feeling generally dissatisfied, like you drew the short straw. You make it look not too bad on the outside, yet feel unfulfilled in relationships with lover, family, friends, coworkers. You have concerns about overdoing something (drinking, working, internet), or a generalized anxiety, perfectionism, or people-pleasing. I am a highly interactive therapist. I know when to bring in humor--and when to go to the dark places with you. Together we will look at how you got here. Through identifying your beliefs, attitudes and needs around relationships and intimacy, we will find the key to unlocking your wellbeing.

Welcome! I am Dr. Nina Paul. With a commitment to evidence-based practices, I provide therapy tailored to you to address OCD, PTSD and trauma, and a wide range of anxiety disorders. My goal is to help patients find the strength to gradually approach their worries, obsessions, distressing thoughts, fears, and traumatic memories. I create a warm space fostering self-awareness, self-compassion, and confidence to let go of self-blame and expectations. I equip patients with tools (e.g., thought challenging or defusion, acceptance of emotions, mindfulness practices) to help them overcome their challenges and build meaningful lives.

Psychotherapy can be an opportunity to reduce emotional suffering, to understand what gets in the way of becoming the person we want to be, and to find a meaningful path forward. In my work with adult clients, I often am engaged around significant relationship challenges, health and wellness concerns, career misgivings, and blocks in expressing oneself. My approach with children and teenagers emphasizes developmental strengths, family supports, and planning for the future. I provide clinical consultation to other mental health professionals for many of these same topics.

Life is change and, mostly, you've been rolling with the punches. But complicated life transitions can leave anyone at a loss. You might feel helpless, hopeless and alone in trying to cope with relationship issues and troublesome or debilitating symptoms of depression, anxiety, trauma, and obsessions. With two decades of experience, I am experienced in helping adults and families like you navigate the turmoil of challenging life passages including death of a loved one, chronic or terminal illness, relationship issues, separation or divorce, or adjustments to a different job, culture, gender, or sexual orientation.

Our ideal client is someone who knows they don’t want to keep “powering through,” but also doesn’t want to waste time (or money) cycling through therapists who aren’t the right fit. They might be navigating anxiety (racing thoughts, worry, panic), depression (low mood, numbness, fatigue), chronic stress or burnout, relationship conflict, major life transitions, grief, trauma-related symptoms, or feeling stuck in patterns they can’t explain. They may be a busy professional, a parent, a student, a caregiver, or simply someone who’s tired of carrying it alone. Many are high-functioning on the outside, but internally feel overwhelmed.

I'm a therapist working out of the Noe Valley neighborhood in San Francisco. I work with adults and adolescents who feel stuck, disconnected from themselves or others, or overwhelmed by emotion. My clients often include folks navigating the challenges of launching into adulthood, children of divorce, and individuals feeling stuck in patterns of video game or social media use that are getting in the way of their goals or relationships. I also support people through difficult and complex transitions, helping them build emotional resilience, a stronger sense of self, and practical tools for change.

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with over 15 years of experience working with individuals and couples. My specialties include relationship issues, depression, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem issues, sexuality and working with the LGBTQ population. My goal is to help you better balance yourself in the present, day to day, and dive deep with you to understand the root cause. Truly effective therapy, in my view, happens when we are ready to look deeply and critically at our current situation, ready to make sustainable, and practical changes.

I know firsthand what it’s like to look successful on the outside while privately struggling with stress, exhaustion, overwhelm, or self-doubt. You've likely achieved a certain level of success, yet find that what's worked in the past is no longer bringing the same results, and can't seem to free yourself from a sense of feeling stuck, no matter how much you try to figure it out. You're ready to explore how to soften and shift old patterns while build new ones rather than just pushing harder. Therapy is a place to bring all of who you are — your struggles, hopes, and questions — and to feel met with warmth and respect.

I am glad you are here! Clients often come to me feeling chronically activated or anxious, stuck in painful relational patterns, or disconnected from their bodies. I enjoy supporting my clients' journey toward a greater understanding of and greater connection to themselves, more authentic self expression, relationships and inner strength. I work especially well with adults with high levels of anxiety; those who experienced traumatic events, including relational trauma and growing up in a complex family system; as well as those navigating grief. If this resonates with you, we might be a good fit.

I am bilingual in English and German and am able to provide therapy in either language.
Welcome to my practice! Have you been feeling like anxiety, low mood and motivation have been getting you stuck and preventing you from living the life you want to? Anxiety is a normal and important feeling that we developed to protect us from harm. If you are experiencing overwhelming levels of anxiety though, it can prevent you from doing things you care about, disrupt your social life and cause intense distress. Similarly, if you suffer from very low mood and motivation, it might seem impossible to engage in activities you previously cared about.

I frequently accept new patients for telehealth psychotherapy, specifically adults residing in California. Therapy can be beneficial for a wide range of issues. Many clients come to me experiencing emotional and mental distress, relationship problems, and questions about the overall quality and direction of their lives. Common concerns include worry and anxiety, depression, loneliness, career and work issues, challenges related to retirement, difficult family dynamics, and needs related to long-term recovery from substance use and other addictions.

I offer sessions in English and in German and have extra availability during early mornings and weekends as needed.
I work with clients who are (highly) sensitive and/or gifted, who struggle with anxiety or complex trauma, and/or who are curious about their neurodivergence. I also work with therapists.
Sensitive people have a finely attuned nervous system, they experience life deeply, yet don't always feel easily understood by others. Growing up, they may have experienced not fitting in, and have adapted to a largely non-sensitive world in myriad ways that didn't always serve their best interest. I support my clients on their path to finding their voice, experiencing genuine relationships, purposeful work, and reclaiming their space in the world.

Crises and painful emotions can be the beginning of a journey toward transformation and wisdom. If you are looking for a deeper and more connected sense of yourself, and fulfillment in life, then you may be ready for a commitment to the therapeutic process. I believe my empathic presence - the capacity to hear, see and feel a situation from the other person's vantage point- is central to the healing process. Within such a safe relationship the patient can develop an open attitude toward the unconscious; exploration of the meaning and purpose of one's life can unfold.
