About Paula
Paula Corano is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 15 years of clinical experience in California. She earned a master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University and lists her LMFT credential. Paula speaks English and Portuguese and brings a practical, goal-focused style to therapy.
She uses a strength-based outlook to help people identify clear goals and take small steps toward them. Sessions tend to focus on reshaping unhelpful thinking, building new skills, and getting practical feedback for day-to-day challenges. Paula aims to balance empathy with direction so clients leave with concrete ideas to try between meetings.
Her work has included support for stress, anxiety, depression, and grief, as well as relationship and parenting concerns. She also has experience with trauma, coping with major life changes, and challenges such as ADHD, bipolar mood differences, and compassion fatigue. Paula notes additional focus areas that include attachment issues, adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric concerns, and blended family dynamics.
Paula values cross-cultural awareness and says she continually learns from clients of different backgrounds. Her approach centers on what matters most to each person, so sessions are shaped by individual goals and needs. She describes her style as empathetic and goal-oriented, and she invites people to take the first step toward change.
People considering therapy with Paula are encouraged to use the Start Therapy process to match and schedule, so they can discuss goals and preferred ways of working before beginning sessions.
