Paige Helms

Hi there, I'm Paige. I have been a therapist since 2016 and have experience in a variety of settings. I believe that everyone has a story and they need someone to talk to about it. Since finishing graduate school in 2016, I have been serving people of all ages in a variety of settings, from private practice to outpatient to residential to forensics. In general, I work with a variety of presenting concerns including life transitions, relationship stress, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, and boundary concerns. I also work with high acuity individuals who are motivated to stay in outpatient care in the community and have a history of higher levels of care. I specialize in pre-teens and young adults with Anxiety and Depression, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorders, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder, Eating disorders, psychosis, and self-injury. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming as well as affirming to women’s issues. I see my role in therapy as a provider of a safe place to be genuine, authentic, and vulnerable with compassion and without judgement - a place to create change. It is important to me to take the time to understand everything you bring to the table to help create goals with you, not for you. I adopt a strengths based and person centered approach. No two people are alike and therapy should be tailored to you. I will adapt your therapy from a combination of evidence-based practice such as Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing, and Emotion Focused Family Therapy (EFFT). I am a Certified Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist and Certified in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I approach every single person with a mindfulness to neurodevelopmental trauma and practice trauma-informed care.
