Paula Miley

Paula Miley is a dedicated marriage and family therapist with a master's degree and over 20 years of experience in crisis response. In a complex multicultural world, she understands the intricate intersection between individual identity and the systemic oppression faced by women and people of color. As a mixed-race, lesbian therapist, Paula recognizes the challenges that may hinder individuals from seeking therapy and healing from both small and complex trauma. Her empathetic approach encourages clients to explore the impact of trauma on the body and the false narratives often adopted as coping mechanisms. Together, they work towards managing persistent issues such as stress, anxiety, PTSD, depression, low self-esteem, codependency, grief, and loss. Paula is an EMDR practitioner, trauma-informed yoga and mindfulness instructor, and community resiliency trainer. In her practice, somatic techniques are essential for retraining the brain and nervous system. She believes that everyone deserves to be seen and validated, and her ultimate hope is for her clients to discover their unique path to becoming their own greatest healers throughout their therapeutic journey.
