Jack Carskaddon

I highly recommend Paul as a counselor for anyone seeking personal growth and healing. His insightful and patient approach helps clients see beyond their perceived realities, offering a clearer understanding of themselves and their circumstances. With extensive knowledge and numerous accolades, Paul is one of the most skilled therapists in the field.

His down-to-earth demeanor makes it easy for clients to open up, fostering a trusting environment. Paul excels at identifying core issues rather than just addressing surface symptoms, guiding clients through their complexities to find true resolution. If you're looking for a therapist who can truly transform your perspective and life, Paul is an exceptional choice.

We have been seeing him for years now. Some of the best counseling I've ever done. And I was really really skeptical in going into marriage counseling. But he did a great job at understanding me and my needs. And I think he's pretty fair for both me and my spouse. He's definitely not one-sided at all. Which I think is very helpful. He's also very good listener and understand some of the things that we are going through. Highly recommend!

Brian Clark

Paul is a remarkable listener, he's patient, and offers really good insight. I love his attitude and approach to counseling, self-awareness and mindfulness/meditation. Most recently, I attended a meditation session led by Paul and enjoyed every minute of it. He's authentic and unassuming -- two attributes which are hard to come by nowadays. I have and will continue to recommend Paul.

Heidi Robertson

Paul has such unique, spot on insights and can help me progress and change unlike anyone else. I would recommend him to anyone—he has a gift for understanding people, helping them to change the way they view their situation, and guiding them to feel empowered. I always have so many “aha” moments with him and leave saying, “I never thought of things like this! I know where to go from here!” From my personal experience with Paul, I especially recommend him to those wanting help with parenting issues.

Kate Hargadon

I’ve been helped by Paul on and off for the past few years and always felt so genuinely listened to. It’s hard to find someone who is gifted at sitting with you in your emotions (allowing you to experience them fully with love and validation) and then gently providing feedback that often results in a major perspective change. I’ve found that, for me, pain is healed through listening, relationships of love, and someone helping you see things through a different lens and Paul has done that for me many times. Amazing facilitator of guided meditation as well!

Aaron Levy

Paul is a phenomenal therapist. Does outstanding work and helps clients reach their potential in each of their circumstances. I have been extremely impressed by the quality of work he provides, his dedication to the level of help each of his client’s need. When I think of a great NW AR therapist I always think of him.

Elyssa Morrill

I've only had two sessions with Paul for two separate instances when I needed help, but I give 5 stars because one session was all I needed each time due to his excellent listening and honing in on what was most essential for healing. He has an incredible ability to guide mental reframing of negative experiences in an empowering way that immediately impacts real life. He is kind and empathetic, which not all counselors are, but more importantly, he facilitates actual change instead of just making you feel better in the moment. Can't recommend him highly enough.

Cami Beath

I felt immediately comfortable opening up to Paul because of his thoughtful, reassuring, and competent presence. His energy is non-judgmental, thoughtful, endlessly knowledgeable, and genuinely kind. It’s such a gift to work with Paul, and I always feel seen and understood in our sessions. Paul’s empathy and support really helped me get through some difficult stuff.
