Paola Araiza works with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma-related symptoms, grief, and challenges with self-esteem and emotion regulation. She provides psychotherapy to adults and works with a diverse range of clients, with experience supporting BIPOC and first-generation individuals, particularly those navigating identity, family expectations, and life transitions. Her approach is grounded in the belief that individuals are capable of growth and healing, and she tailors treatment to meet each client’s unique needs.

She strives to help clients reconnect with their authentic selves while navigating life’s challenges. Together, she collaborates with clients to build effective coping strategies, strengthen problem-solving skills, and address patterns that may contribute to distress. She supports individuals experiencing emotional dysregulation, changes in sleep or appetite, difficulty concentrating, hopelessness or isolation, low motivation, nervousness, and feelings of low self-worth.

Paola Araiza utilizes an integrative, client-centered approach and incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)–informed skills, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), mindfulness-based interventions, trauma-informed care, and solution-focused techniques to support clients in their therapeutic work. Her areas of clinical focus include adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma-related concerns, grief, and life transitions.
