About Pauline
Pauline Bernard is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people move forward when stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma, or low self esteem feel overwhelming. She frames therapy around practical goals so clients can find more meaning, resilience, and ease in daily life.
Sessions begin with an introductory meeting to hear a person’s story and clarify what they want from therapy. That first conversation focuses on immediate concerns and the most helpful next steps. Subsequent meetings build on that plan with steady, goal-focused work.
Pauline holds a master’s degree from Smith College and a PhD in history and social sciences, plus an additional master’s in history. Her background includes living and working in the United States, France, and Italy, which informs her awareness of the strains that come from big life transitions and cultural change.
She approaches therapy as a collaborative process. Clients can expect a warm, respectful atmosphere where practical tools are balanced with time to understand what lies beneath recurring patterns. Topics she commonly addresses include career questions, forgiveness, guilt and shame, loneliness, and life purpose.
Pauline speaks English, French, and Italian and practices in Colorado. Her work aims to help people identify clear next steps and build resilience, rather than promising quick fixes.
