November Openings. My name is Dr. Pauline Botchway, and I strongly believe that, as human beings, we have the ability to change and transform our lives through choice. Since no single theory can capture our experiences as human beings, I utilize an integrated approach that allows me to use some aspects of Gestalt, Existential, and Solution Focused, as well as high utilization of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR. In addition to my community mental health, I am including private practice in my work. My main goal as a clinician is to help and guide individuals to change their lives to improve everyday living.

Life is full of transitions and challenges; one of the biggest is parenting. Whether it’s navigating a newborn, the tempestuous toddler years, potty training, or starting school, having someone to help you and your child succeed with minimum stress and decreased behavioral concerns is my specialty.

Abuse is something that affects a lot of people and in various different ways. It is something that can be hidden from the world and no one will know the pain the individual is going through.

There are ways to work through the trauma, safeguard yourself, and heal from parts of the abuse. You will rebuild yourself esteem, sense of self, and confidence in the process of healing.
