Paula Green, LCPC, LPCC

Paula Green is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 20 years of experience based in New Mexico. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, and coping with life changes. She also focuses on adoption and foster care, blended family issues, and family of origin issues.

She has substantial experience in clinic and private practice settings. For a decade she worked with victims of domestic violence and sexual assault, including time in a domestic violence shelter and in work connected to domestic violence courts. She has provided training in child sexual abuse prevention.

For the past eight years she has worked with St. Luke's Center for Neurobehavioral Medicine, counseling children and families on an outpatient basis and in an intensive partial hospitalization program. That experience includes supporting people with dissociation, disruptive mood concerns, and caregiver stress.

Paula uses straightforward, client-focused methods. She draws on client-centered approaches alongside cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, EMDR, and mindfulness techniques. Sessions involve talking through current problems, practicing skills, and trying strategies between meetings.

Her work includes helping people clarify patterns that began in childhood and how those family roles affect current relationships. She also addresses communication problems, guilt and shame, body image, impulsivity, and isolation. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.
