Elizabeth Paul, LCSW

Elizabeth Paul is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Brooklyn, New York, specializing in trauma-informed psychotherapy with a deep focus on child abuse, family trauma, and the long-term effects of early adversity. Her work centers on individuals, couples, and families navigating the lasting impact of abuse, neglect, and intergenerational trauma. Before entering private practice, Elizabeth spent five years in preventive child welfare, delivering evidence-based, family-centered treatment models — including Functional Family Therapy (FFT-CW), Multisystemic Therapy for Child Abuse and Neglect (MST-CAN), and Trauma Systems Therapy (TST) — with a focus on early intervention for caregivers and children under chronic stress and trauma. She completed EMDR basic training with Deany Laliotis and began offering EMDR in January 2026 — a gold-standard, evidence-based treatment for PTSD and complex trauma. Her approach is trauma-informed, systems-based, and depth-oriented, with attention to how abuse and trauma shape behavior, relationships, and nervous systems over time. All sessions are offered via telehealth across New York, Massachusetts, and Maine.
