Meet Dr. Dinisha Paul, PhD, LPCC
I'm a doctoral-level therapist based in Toledo with more than seven years of experience. I've dedicated my practice to finding individualized care that meets each client where they are. This is an approach that acknowledges the profound impact of childhood experiences, past trauma, and unhealthy relationships on our current well-being.
A native of India, I attended graduate school for counseling in both Mississippi and Ohio and have deep experience across several areas of clinical practice. I bring a multicultural lens to my work and offer a deep respect for the varied identities, backgrounds and lived experiences of my clients.
I seek to bring a warm and empathetic approach to each session in order to create a space where you feel seen, heard, and supported—and I believe in the inherent goodness and resilience of every person.
I'm licensed in Ohio and can provide virtual counseling services to anyone based in the state.
Take the First Step
Starting therapy can feel intimidating. That's why I offer a free 15-minute consultation to see if we're a good fit. You can ask questions, share about what you're struggling with, and get clarity on the next steps.
