Paul LeBars, MA

At my psychotherapy practice, I offer a unique and personalized approach to help individuals and couples achieve a deeper sense of fulfillment, balance, and well-being. As a certified therapist with a Master's degree in Transpersonal Psychology, I have been privileged to work with clients from diverse backgrounds and identities, including the LGBTQ+ community.

My Approach to Therapy

My approach to therapy is rooted in mindfulness, compassion, and genuineness. I believe that healing is a collaborative process that involves acknowledgment, validation, and integration of all aspects of the self. I take the time to understand each client's unique experiences, emotions, and challenges, and tailor my approach to meet their individual needs.

Services Offered

I offer a range of services, including:

• Holistic Psychotherapy: A comprehensive approach that integrates the mind, body, and spirit to promote overall well-being.
• Somatic Psychotherapy: A gentle and noninvasive approach that focuses on releasing physical tension and promoting relaxation.
• Couples Counseling: A supportive and non-judgmental space for partners to navigate relationship challenges and strengthen their bond.
• Sliding Scale Therapy: Affordable and flexible pricing options to ensure that everyone can access quality therapy services.
• Healing from Sexual Abuse: A specialized approach that acknowledges the trauma and complexity of sexual abuse, and provides a safe and supportive environment for healing.
• Co-dependency: A compassionate and non-judgmental approach that empowers individuals to develop healthy boundaries and relationships.

Specializations

I have a special affinity for working with:

• Highly Sensitive People: Individuals with heightened sensitivities and empathetic nature.
• Empaths: People who are naturally attuned to the emotions and energies of others.
• LGBTQ+ Individuals: A community that has faced historical trauma and marginalization, and deserves compassion, understanding, and acceptance.
• Highly Sensitive Men: Men who may have been socialized to suppress emotions and connect with their feelings and intuition.

Telehealth and Online Therapy Services

In addition to in-person sessions, I offer telehealth and online therapy services for individuals and couples residing in the State of California. This allows for greater flexibility and accessibility, making therapy more accessible to those who may face geographical or logistical challenges.

My session fees start at $160 for a 50-minute session, with sliding scale rates available based on availability. I do not currently accept insurance plans, but can provide monthly receipts for those with "out-of-network" benefits.
