What We Do
At Pauslon Counseling, compassionate support meets personally tailored solutions. Whether you are seeking guidance through life's challenges, relationship conflict, family dysfunction, mental health issues, or simply aiming for personal growth, we're here to walk alongside you on your journey towards healing, wholeness, and empowerment.
Individuals
To unlock your inner strength and potential, we’ll explore the interplay between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Whether diving deep into self-discovery or addressing immediate concerns, we’ll find solutions that align with your unique journey and inner wisdom.
Couples
You might be wondering if you need couples counseling. We're not here to say you do or don’t. Only you can decide that. But having experienced couples counseling myself, I (Mike) would say that everyone can benefit from it, even if they don’t necessarily need it.
Families
Our family defines us. Shapes and molds us. It's by far the biggest influence on who we become. As parents, we owe it to our children to give them the best possible experience of family. That's hard work, but what is more worthwhile? Healthy family relationships have a ripple effect.

Pre-Marital Counseling
Gottman Method online assessments help couples receive insightful feedback into their relationship dynamics, strengths, and areas for growth. Through these assessments and Paulson's tailored guidance, couples are empowered with effective communication skills, conflict resolution strategies, and a deeper connection, setting a strong foundation for a fufilling and enduring marriage.
Conflict Resolution
Couples counseling and family therapy help reduce conflict by fostering open communication and understanding between those most important to us. In our guided sessions, you will learn effective communication skills, including active listening and how to express emotion constructively. Together, we will uncover underlying issues driving problematic behaviors, and healthy alternatives in a safe environment, without fear of judgement or escalation.
Amicable Separation
Many people assume the purpose of couples counseling is to save the marriage. And most of the time it is. There are also times when the best path forward involves a separation that is respectful, with minimal conflict. For families with children, it is critical to consider the kids' well-being, and to work towards role-modeling for them how two adults can part ways without hurting each other, or their family.

Together we'll explore your emotions, develop coping skills, and cultivate a deeper understanding, leading to improved well-being and a brighter outlook on life.
Career Burnout, Work Stress
Our culture pushes us to achieve professionally, to be successful, to hit our goals. For some, that's invigorating. For others, that's a lot of pressure we didn't ask for. It's hard, and sometimes we fall short and need support. Other times, we succeed, yet still feel empty. Sometimes even after we succeed, we wonder, now what? Is this all there is? And along the way we might have made a mess of our personal lives. If this resonates, you're not alone.
