Bio

Eric Paulson is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and EMDR practitioner located in Venice/Santa Monica, CA.  He received his graduate training degree in counseling psychology with an emphasis on Depth Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute.  For over 25 years, Eric has immersed himself in the helping profession exploring both traditional and non-traditional approaches to healing.  Throughout his career, he has worked with adolescents, adults, couples, families and groups in the treatment of attachment and developmental trauma, addiction, depression, anxiety, dissociative disorders, spiritual emergencies, and psychedelic experience integration.  Eric believes in the science of conscious transformation. That is, conscious movements from one space to another not because of lack or because of wrongness. Rather, like a coat that no longer serves its original intended purpose, transformation occurs when the old way (pattern) has been honored and recognized for all the gifts it once contained so as to be released in an effort to make way for a new.  As such, Eric’s approach is non-shame based where consideration is given to building a strong and solid rapport; while strong training and competent skills are vital in any field of work, the therapeutic relationship between Eric and his clients is paramount to transformation.  Eric takes a client-centered approach which means the focus of engagement is on the client and their unique goals.  Corrective experiences occur when the therapeutic container is filled with shared possibility, trust, and understanding.  Eric is licensed in both California and Colorado.
