Mikaela Pahulje

I work with children (2+), teens, adults, couples, and families. As a Certified Synergetic Play Therapist, I am passionate about helping kids navigate their way in the world. I can also help with eating disorders, chronic pain and illness, trauma, grief, relationships, separation and divorce, adoption, self-esteem, developmental challenges, sports performance, and other mental health challenges. As well, I am trained in EMDR and Gottman Method for couples. Although there is no manual or script to navigate one’s life, there are certainly opportunities for curiosity and self-awareness to deal with feelings, thoughts, and challenges. I provide a safe, comfortable, and inviting space where you will feel heard, understood, supported, and can begin to heal. Into this space, I can bring movement, art, play, and music as part of your healing if that is something you choose. You have the innate ability to cultivate awareness and curiosity about your feelings, thoughts, and present challenges. Writing your own manual means forging a new connection to your self that lasts a lifetime. Whether it's for you, your child, or your family, I'm committed to supporting you all the way through your healing and transformation. Writing your manual means building up your voice, strength, authenticity, wisdom, and purpose.
