About Dr. Paquette
I am a psychotherapist who practices in a supportive, sensitive, collaborative way. The decision to seek therapy may not be easy, but I will help demystify this process for you, and along the way, help you develop your best self.
I listen, coach, and sometimes challenge you, always respecting you as an individual.

Why Dr. Paquette?
My training in Social Work is augmented by a more in depth study of health. Physical, psychological, and spiritual health are all interconnected and are points of entry into our work together.
In addition, creative writing helps me get at the narrative of your life, and will help you create the story you deserve.
