Paul SuraceLMFT

High satisfaction rate with clients

Nice to meet you

Greetings! My name is Paul Surace and I have significant experience working with individuals, couples and families in CA. I want you to know that I'm a pretty straight-forward kind of communicator who really enjoys working with people who are seeking positive change in their lives, and are willing to work for it. I especially enjoy to work with Couples (both monogamous and non-monagomous), but I have no problem seeing individuals and families as well. I love to try and move my clients from just "surviving" to a thriving lifestyle. And towards that end, I enjoy asking questions and actively listening in order to get to know my clients better and discover their gifts and strengths so that we can eventually use them to problem solve and get your goals met.
