Paula Miley

I work with LGBTQ+ clients, people facing identity concerns, and couples in monogamous, polyamorous and expanded relationship structures. I’m Paula Miley, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Encino, California, and I offer LGBTQ+ affirming care through online therapy.

Concerns include race-based stress and trauma, gender identity exploration, LGBTQ+ experiences, body dysphoria, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), complex PTSD, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship difficulties and recovering from shame and oppression.

I use somatic psychotherapy, mindfulness and parts work, combined with talk therapy, movement and breathwork. Sessions also work on strengthening the client’s connection to the body. I am trained in attachment-focused Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and the practice also provides training on mental health equity and Mental Health First Aid.
