Paulina Butler, MA

  • EMDRIA Trained Therapist

  • Bilingual (English / Spanish)

Paulina made a career change from fifteen years in biotech to become a therapist — and she brought every bit of her scientific background with her. She understands how the brain works at a biochemical level, she's comfortable with complexity, and after years of working in a field that treated people as variables, she became deeply committed to work that treats them as whole people instead.

She specializes in EMDR. While she does work with adults, she also works with children and teens and brings family therapy into the room as well - because kids don't heal in isolation from the people they live with. As a working parent of two neurodivergent children, she understands the family experience from the inside, not just from a training manual.

Paulina is bilingual in English and Spanish and offers therapy in both languages.
