Therapy style
Greetings! My name is Paul Surace and I've been working as a therapist in Southern, CA for the past 20 years. 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 love to try and move people from surviving to thriving. 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.
