Paulette Denman, LMFTA

Our lives are overwhelming. We need time and space to sort through what is most important, what we value, and connect with ourselves and the ones we love.

At Magpie, you can feel truly heard.

I offer a blend of warmth, humor, and directness to clients, while providing practical tools. We’ll build on your strengths, understand what brought you here, and create new ways forward.

Couples

Having a supportive therapist to untangle patterns can help uncover what is keeping a relationship stuck. We will work to strengthen connection and practice repair from hurt and harm.

Parents are encouraged to be involved in teen therapy.

Teens & Family

Adolescence is a pivotal time. Collaborative support during this stage can grow trust, strengthen connection, and help teens and their families feel more understood.


Magpies are playful, curious, and attuned.
They spend their days watching and gathering,
making meaning from what they find.

Therapy invites a similar process;
collecting pieces of experience, memory & identity
then reimagining them into something whole.

Like magpies, I value what shines,
what’s hidden, and what’s been overlooked.
