Yasmin Paul, MA
Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist
Verified“I am a psychotherapist working from a psychodynamic-relational and group analytic perspective, with experience in long-term therapeutic work with primarily adults both individually and in group settings. My work is grounded in the belief that emotional difficulties do not emerge in isolation, but are shaped through our relationships, histories, social environments, and internal conflicts. Which is why therapeautic relationships have the power to heal and process wounds from long ago. In therapy, I aim to create a space that feels reflective, collaborative, emotionally safe, and non-judgmental — where complexity, uncertainty, and contradiction can be explored without pressure to immediately “fix” or simplify experience. ”
