Bio
My name is Paradise! As an introduction, I exist as a licensed therapist, fantasy author, and touring musician. I began my counseling journey with the sole intension of using the knowledge in animation/writing. Plot twist: I fell in love with therapy.
I hold certifications in Narrative Therapy and Exposure Response Prevention (aka Exposure Therapy), as well as extensive background in creative interventions like songwriting, story writing, art and gaming groups. I am a firm believer in blending structure and creativity. Expect homework as real change happens out in the wild of life-- not just in session! ^~^
