Paula E. Bruce, Ph.D. & Associates, A Psychological Corporation

We maintain a broad psychotherapy practice that includes individual, couple and family psychotherapy with children, adolescents and adults. Our mindful psychotherapy style is to join with you, utilizing contemporary psychodynamic principles, to help you address your concerns. During this process, the aim is to help you understand your own development and construction in a meaningful way that allows you to become unstuck from concerns that you have. More specifically, this depth-focused approach is aimed at helping you as an individual, couple or family, gain insight into both your past and present, so that you can be able to make clearer and healthier choices about your present and future. The more you understand how and why you think, feel and act the way you do, the easier it becomes to make the important everyday choices you need to make in life, work and relationship. Some typical psychotherapy concerns of the practice are: Relationship/couple issues Interracial/intercultural relationships Depressive disorders Anxiety Disorders Compulsive Overeating Body image issues Personality disorders High conflict divorce/custody issues Family reunification therapy Parenting/child behavior problems Sexual compulsivity/addiction Sexual abuse, sexual assault Complex trauma issues/PTSD Compulsive spending/shopping Alcohol/substance abuse LGBQ and Trans* concerns First generation-American concerns Type I Diabetes concerns Attachment issues Anger management Medical concerns We also conduct forensic evaluations and has served as an expert evaluator/witness in various legal matters.

We understand that feeling understood on every level is critical to being able to make progress in therapy.
