About Me

Welcome to Betterhelp! I am a Psychologist/licensed therapist who has specialized in working with children and teens in schools for over 10 years and private practice for nearly 20. As an education psychologist and clinical, I have specialized in self harm, depression, anxiety, OCD, gender dysphoria and LGBTQ +, autism and many other personality disorders.

I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I want clients to feel understood rather than being judged.

My approach combines cognitive behavioral, client/person-centered, solution-focused, psychoanalysis, trauma-focused CBT, and teaching individuals how to be kind to self by using healing oriented approach therapies. I will tailor our treatment plans to meet your unique and specific needs. When you are ready to take your first step towards change, I am here to help guide you toward a more productive life. Lets talk and begin a new chapter.

Written by M.E. on Apr 23, 2022 after therapy with Paula for 2 months

"Dr. Ehrmantraut has been extremely supportive and has made herself quite available to help us in what has been a very difficult time. My socially anxious teenager may have never gone to a therapist in person, and meeting with her virtually was such an advantage! She has been patient and responsive, and has spent as much time chatting/messaging with me as she has supporting my son. It has been so nice to feel that I have another adult on my team as I try to help him."

Dr. Ehrmantraut is available, but not overbearing. She will hear you out and knows when to offer a solution, and when to simply listen. I trust her and appreciate her for the empathy and expertise she shows in her approach.

Dr Ehrmantraut was a wonderful resource to me during a very stressful event in my life. She was timely in her responses and really seemed to care about me as a human. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing help.
