Paola Conner, M.A. AMFT

“Now may the god of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

1 Thessalonians 5:23

As a board-registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, Paola has experience supporting children, individuals, adolescents, and couples. Since graduating from Pepperdine University with her master’s degree in clinical psychology, she has specialized in working with clients who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and relationship challenges.

Paola has also gained experience and training working with a wide variety of groups of people, including BIPOC communities, Spanish-speaking clients, immigrants, veterans, and survivors of trauma.

My counseling approach is rooted in restoration therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), person-centered therapy, and trauma-informed care. I encourage my clients to work on empowerment, safety, and collaboration. I am committed to helping my clients build insight, uncover past inner scripts, work on generational traumas, develop healthy coping skills, and create meaningful change at a personal pace that feels safe and manageable to each of them.

I strive to create a warm, inclusive, and non-judgmental environment where clients from all backgrounds feel heard and supported. I am experienced and trained in incorporating faith-based practices in therapy sessions, upon your request. My goal is to help you grow as a whole person, working on three elements: mind, body, and spirit.
