About Paula Anderson (She/Her)
Paula Anderson is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Minnesota who has been practicing since 2022.
Paula enjoys working with people making life changes, getting free from substance use, repairing relationships (couples), and finding themselves in a new or unexpected life position. Many of her clients have been stalled by grief or trauma. Paula is a champion of recognizing and appreciating the trauma and grief of people in later life and believes society has ignored our elders’ mental health.
Outside of work, Paula’s dogs are a big part of her life, she enjoys attending training classes and exercising them. She practices and attends Tai Chi classes at her local dojo. She loves to garden and do home improvement projects.
