About Paula
Paula Lowden is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people facing grief, relationship challenges, parenting strain, and shaken self esteem. She welcomes hesitant first steps and keeps language simple and direct. Paula aims to make beginning therapy feel doable for someone who is worried or unsure.
Paula focuses on everyday problems that feel heavy or confusing. She listens without judging and helps people name what matters to them. Sessions are meant to be a straightforward place to talk through loss, changing roles, and shifting priorities.
Her approach draws on methods that encourage values-driven choices and honest self-reflection. Paula uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people act in line with what they value, and Client-Centered Therapy practices to keep the conversation grounded in the person in front of her. Motivational Interviewing is part of how she helps people find their own reasons to change.
She has 14 years of professional experience working in Oregon and supports people dealing with midlife shifts, caregiving stress, cancer-related concerns, and family of origin issues. Paula also works with people facing shame, guilt, or recovery from trauma.
In sessions she helps clients set small, practical steps toward clearer choices and greater self-compassion. If someone wants help sorting grief, strengthening self-worth, or managing life changes, Paula offers steady, plainspoken guidance.
