Meet Paul Scarberry, LMHC & SUDP

My professional background includes more than 10 years of experience in inpatient behavioral health settings, where I provide mental health support to individuals facing acute mental health and substance use challenges. 

Additionally, I have 5 years of experience in outpatient mental health, offering recovery-focused therapy and ongoing counseling for those navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, recovery, co-occurring disorders, and significant life transitions. 

These experiences have reinforced my commitment to compassionate, trauma-informed counseling and enhanced my understanding of recovery, resilience, and mental wellness.

I am committed to providing LGBTQ+ affirming counseling where individuals can explore their experiences, identity, relationships, and goals without judgment.

My practice is rooted in respect, inclusion, and the belief that every person deserves to be seen, heard, and valued.

Whether you are seeking mental health support, recovery-focused therapy, personal growth, or help navigating significant life transitions, I strive to create a welcoming space where healing, resilience, and lasting change can flourish through trauma-informed counseling.
