Avia Paz, LSW
Therapist
I specialize in working with adults navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, life transitions, and relationship challenges. I also support couples experiencing distress in rebuilding trust, communication, and emotional connection. My approach centers on evidence-based practices—drawing from modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) —while being thoughtfully customized to each individual or couple’s unique needs and goals.
At the core of my work is the belief that the therapeutic relationship itself is a powerful agent of change. I prioritize creating a warm, collaborative, and authentic connection where clients feel genuinely seen and supported. Through this relationship, we work together to explore patterns, build resilience, and foster meaningful and lasting growth.
