Message from Therapist

In life, it is highly important to have balance in our personal ability to find happiness, peace, satisfaction, and confidence.  As  young children we naturally want to be happy, think highly of ourselves, and anticipate good outcomes in the things that we pursue.

As we develop and life moves forward we lose sight of these pursuits due to external circumstances, input from others, and our inability to push past things that do not bring us happiness, peace, satisfaction, and confidence.

It is possible to restore happiness, peace, satisfaction, and confidence. First, through therapy we will identify which value area is depleted and help you to restore hope and a vision to a positive future back into your life so you can live fully in your personal, social, and work/school environments.

My work includes individuals, couples, and families.  I work hard to restore fulfillment with people who are experiencing depression, anxiety, OCD and learning disabilities that have adversely impacted their lives.  

This is my life calling.  I am goal driven and I strive to help my clients to live their best life.  If you are ready to move your life in a new more positive direction, I am the therapist that can help.

More About Paula Rainer, MEd, PhD, LPC, ACS, BC-TMH

Dr Paula Rainer LLC  - is dedicated to using positive based techniques to lift people above blocked areas that impede their progress in life.  The clients' experiences in therapy will help them to identify internal strengths and positive qualities that will neutralize previously unbearable circumstances.  

The client will take away tools from therapy to navigate life independently, empowered, peaceful, confident, satisfied, and happy. They will be renewed in seeing the world and their ability to navigate stress, depression, anxiety, disabilities, and OCD in a strategic, determined, and goal driven manner that will yield movement toward a desired goal.

Clients always have the answers and solutions locked away in their thoughts, emotions, and spirit.  It is my role to help clients pull out and identify the answers and solutions and be assured that they will always have the answers and solutions available to them as they walk through life daily.

Counseling and the restoration of a positive life existence for the clients is my life calling and professional goal.
