Mind and Matter Therapy
Paulina Allen, LMHC, Certified EMDR Therapist

My name is Paulina and I specialize in working with people who feel stuck. Maybe you keep noticing the same patterns in your relationships or maybe you keep coping in the same unhelpful ways even though you feel like you know better. I call this being in survival mode or stuck on autopilot. I believe that each individual's suffering is rooted in outdated coping mechanisms; skills that were developed in order to survive yet no longer seem helpful. Mind and Matter Therapy was founded on the premise that with a little guidance and a lot of compassion, each person has the inner capacity to break free from survival mode.

 

My work centers on the philosophy that all behaviors we view as unhealthy are actually outdated survival mechanisms - and like many things in life, we outgrow them. I go beyond working with the version of you that showed up in my office to help you tap into each and every unhealed version of yourself so we can work with who you were, who you are, and who you will become.
