Paul Lavella Jr

Paul Lavella Jr. is a passionate counselor dedicated to helping clients find their true selves amidst life's challenges. In initial sessions, he emphasizes understanding not only the issues at hand but also the solutions clients envision for their future. By fostering a wellness-focused counseling approach, Paul identifies strengths and resources that empower individuals to reach their personal counseling goals. He believes that each person's life is filled with meaning and purpose, offering unique perspectives that enrich the world. When facing struggles such as depression, anxiety, or addiction, it’s easy to lose sight of our authentic selves. Paul’s role as a counselor is to explore these underlying themes and help clients reconnect with what truly matters to them. Many seek therapy in times of crisis or simply when feeling 'stuck' or unfulfilled. Paul honors this courage and builds a collaborative relationship to understand challenges, identify actionable solutions, and monitor growth. Through varied therapy types—ranging from Mindfulness-Based approaches and Strength-Based techniques to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy—he assists individuals, families, and groups in navigating their journeys towards centered and congruent lives.
