Paula Smith

I'm a licensed therapist in Oklahoma and Texas dedicated to supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. My work centers on creating a safe, affirming space where you can explore your authentic self—whether that involves navigating identity, relationships, trauma, or finding your sense of purpose. I bring specialized experience working with LGBTQ+ clients, trauma survivors, and individuals managing mood and anxiety disorders. I'm particularly skilled at helping people work through depression, stress, attachment patterns, and the complex emotions that arise from loss, shame, and life transitions. I also support clients facing workplace challenges, chronic health concerns, relationship difficulties, and questions around sexuality and identity. My approach is grounded in cultural humility and a deep commitment to honoring your unique experiences and perspectives. I draw on evidence-based practices to help you build resilience, improve communication, and develop greater self-compassion. Whether you're processing past trauma, navigating a major life change, or seeking clarity about your direction, I'm here to walk alongside you with genuine care and respect. Starting therapy takes courage, and I'm honored to support you on your healing journey.
