Good therapy is about feeling safe, secure, and at peace in our bodies; the journey to Self-Awareness. It's knowing you are not your symptoms of depression, anxiety, substance abuse etc...but understanding that this is how people learn to protect and how they cope. I am passionate about helping you go inside safely to begin to develop a relationship with yourself. You will learn that you really do have everything it takes inside to heal in a way that is lasting. I would be honored to listen, educate and teach about why you do the things you do without judgement, in a way that can then transform your life forever.

Progress is very possible - the therapeutic relationship (trust/progress you feel, or don't) is the main driving force; empathy, non-judgement, and dignity for clients is foundational; non-traditional style - #1 - treat clients as human beings.
I focus on autism/ADHD (with or without trauma/PTSD). ADHD/Autism does not need to be previously diagnosed. My method is to analyze connections which typically stem back to one’s family of origin, which can lead to poor self-regard. Together, we work to identify patterns and tendencies, as well as where they came from. I’ve seen people change for the better. We are looking for results, realizations, epiphanies, and for you to break free from the cycle of unhappiness and self-loathing. www.PaulCulbertson.com

Life is a complex experience and can feel overwhelming and lonely but you don't need to navigate the journey alone. I provide clients with a space to explore vulnerable emotions, safely process experiences and past traumas, and sift through internalized societal messages. As insights deepen, we can work collaboratively to enrich their self-esteem, strengthen their sense of empowerment, and expand their coping skills. We don’t always get to choose what happens to us, but we can choose how we respond, that makes you the author of your next chapter.

While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
