Moving Forward Therapy and Beyond

Have you ever needed someone to talk with, help you with something, looking for advice, seeking comfort, or possible understanding? So, naturally you turn to your family, friends, love ones, only to get unsolicited advice, judgement, and lack of empathy? That is because, even though their intention is to help you, they are a biased party that believes they have your best interest at heart. However, what they believe is best for you usually does not align with what you think is best for you. They are doing what family, friends, and love ones do- for they are not Marriage and Family Therapy (MFT) professionals.

Dr. Paula Boros received a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) and Master’s in Science (M.S.) in Family Therapy, and a Bachelor’s in Arts (B.A.) in Psychology.

She is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Texas (203704) and Florida (MT 3458), Texas and Florida licensure supervisor (LMFT-S), certified Hypnotherapist, American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT) Approved Supervisor, AAMFT Clinical Fellow, and a U.S. combat veteran.

Have you ever experienced “Paula” therapy before? What is “Paula” therapy you might ask?

“Paula” therapy is where we find the right therapy style for you. My authentic approach gives clients the tools they need. I use a direct approach to get clients unique solutions. I pride myself on being authentically me and bringing out an authentic version of you. I do believe the stigma of mental health and therapy makes it appear as a weakness or reinforces “keep it in the family” secrets and situations. Yet through “Paula” therapy I provide space for clients to courageously seek help that is confidential, professional, and validating. This space is moving Forward Therapy and Beyond! This is the space to be authentically you!

What about “Paula” aka “Dr. Boros” supervision?

“Paula” therapy, “Dr. Boros” supervision creates a space where student interns and supervises for licensure learn to be authentically them while providing therapy to others. Dr. Boros has a wealth of knowledge around therapy and supervision that she wants to share with you. During this process, the supervisor and supervisee will work collaboratively as a team in which the supervisee is taking their next step in their professional and personal development. Throughout the process, Dr. Boros hopes to give the supervisee encouragement, support, guidance, advice, and a safety net as the supervisee grows and develops. Ensuring that the supervisee can become the best therapist they can be, this process of supervision will come in many forms, such as the supervisor will be reflective, allowing space for learning, while other times the supervisor will provide advice and directive. The supervision process will consist of various elements, such as, case consultation, self-of-the-therapist, therapist self-care, development of personhood, ethics, mental health laws, practice building, networking, navigating personal and professional/work conflicts, and improving diagnostics and paperwork. Dr. Boros is excited to work with you within the supervision process and be your supervisor. Please contact Dr. Boros today to schedule a time to talk about supervision. She is currently accepting Student interns in MFT for TX and FL, licensure MFTs for TX and FL, licensure MHCs in FL, and AAMFT Approved Supervisor (Candidates) Mentees.

Kerri Campbell, MS, Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern

Supervised By Paula Boros, PhD, LMFT-S, AAMFT Approved Supervisor

Life is a journey and sometimes adjusting to changes and challenges in our lives can be overwhelming. Sometimes we just need a listening ear, a safe place to be heard and to be given the support needed for that moment and beyond. My role as your counselor is to help you build connections within yourself and others around you. By allowing you the opportunity to be heard, I create an atmosphere for a safe environment with a non-judgemental space. I approach therapy in a direct way to challenge clients to meet their potential and meet their goals. I promote honesty for yourself to create open communication and direction to change in a positive way.

I received my Masters of Science in Mental Health Counseling from Nova Southeastern University in Florida and my Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of the West Indies in Jamaica. My background and multicultural experiences has given me the opportunity to work in a diverse range of settings that includes government agencies, community based in -home individual and family therapy, private practice and employee assistance programs with individuals, families and children. I have extensive experience working with military personal and family related issues and specialization with eating disorders, mood disorders, parenting and stress and anger management.

My goal as your counselor is to provide a multicultural perspective and support needed on your life journey to assist you with adjusting to changes in order to enjoy a more fulfilling and flourishing life. Counseling can assist you with making changes and improvements in your life and learn coping strategies to deal with your past and your present so you can continue your life journey as a healthier and happier individual, and I am here to help you.

Hannah McKinnies, MS, LMFT-Associate

Supervised By Paula Boros, PhD, LMFT-S, AAMFT Approved Supervisor

Hannah understands that people have different experiences that shape who they become in their lives, while these experiences are the results of some choices made, many of them may be from patterns that have been passed down generationally that they may not have control over. Hannah understands that people may not know how to change their lives if they are functioning under the way they have always been taught; recognizing these patterns of behavior can take courage and that learning what is in their control and what is out of their control can help them see what they want to be different.

Hannah wants to work with clients an give them “tools” for their toolbox. Hannah believes that patterns of behavior are learned and that behavior is a form of communication. She works with clients on topics that will improve how they interact in their relationships. Hannah works with individuals, couples, and families.

Hannah’s goal is for clients who speak to her feel heard and that they have someone who is willing to meet them where they are in that moment. Hannah works from a systemic therapist point of view, and believes that the relationships have an impact on their current functioning and symptoms.

“Life is like the ocean. It can be calm or still, and rough or rigid. But in the end, it is always beautiful.” -Unknown

Are you struggling to navigate your ocean, or looking to change course? You have already taken a big first step in navigating toward calmer seas by looking for assistance in your journey. We can work together to help navigate your ocean in a calm, safe, non-judgmental environment of your choosing.

Working from a systemic standpoint we can work with whomever you would like to have in our sessions. You can choose the environment you wish to have your session through either teletherapy, or we can do walk-and-talk therapy. What’s walk-and-talk therapy? Walk-and-Talk Therapy is based on mindfulness and body awareness that helps you to relax, prevent repetitive negative thoughts, release tension, breathe deeply, receive new insight, and clear your mind as you process experiences differently. It is an option to have sessions outside instead of in an office setting we would meet at any place such as a park, coffee shop, walking trails, or any other community area. During our time together we will work as a team that fits your unique needs to accomplish your goals.

As your therapist, I strive to make sure you are heard and respected, when you are ready go ahead and send me an email or give me a call to work together towards calmer seas.
