About

Is your behavior driven by fear or anxiety? Are past traumas or a profound sadness or anger controlling your life instead of your highest self? If it seems like your life is going down a path that feels out of sync with who you truly are, then I can help you understand how you got here and how to get back on track.
I will help you gain self-understanding so you can feel more in control of your emotions, and by extension, your life. My approach to therapy is flexible, culturally-sensitive, and aimed at helping you live a life that feels consistent with your values.
I am the President of the Washington, DC Psychological Association. I have specialized training in cognitive behavior therapy, psychodynamic psychotherapy, group therapy, and mindfulness. Additionally, I have conducted research on the psychology of cross-racial/cultural interactions and on LGBTQIA+ issues.

Laurie Paul, PhD LLC's Groups

Women's Psychotherapy Group

This is a queer-friendly therapy group for self-identified women. Many women put their feelings on the backburner and the other person's feelings first to maintain harmony. This can lead to feeling burned out, frustrated, or invisible. This therapy group can help you learn a different way of being in relationships that honors your needs and feelings and leads to more meaningful and fulfilling relationships.

More about this group
Co-ed Psychotherapy Group

This is a queer-friendly, general interpersonal process group. Group therapy is an excellent tool for gaining a better understanding of one's strengths and weaknesses in relationships, and how to build more meaningful relationships. Instead of individual therapy where you tell your therapist about your relationship problems from the "there and then," in group therapy you work on your relationships in the "here and now" with fellow group members. Research shows that group therapy is also effective for problems like depression, anxiety, trauma, maintaining recovery from addiction, and more.
