I am a clinical psychologist and writer specializing in anxiety disorders, addiction, and eating disorders. My life experience as a Recovering Perfectionist informs much of my work, helping people who struggle with all sorts of compulsive and impulsive behaviors. I am a member of the Association of Contextual Behavioral Science, the professional organization for Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I currently work in private practice in Chicago, Illinois, where I provide therapy for adults, supervise doctoral students, test and diagnose for ADHD and learning disabilities, and give workshops on a variety of topics. My passion is helping clients and readers to connect with their inner wisdom and live rewarding lives. My blog (www.drpaulafreedman.com) and my Instagram account (@mindful.drpaula) are designed to educate, share research, and provide food for thought on the topics of anxiety, trauma, addiction, eating disorders, perfectionism, and feminism. I love to write about mental health, social justice, and various human commonalities. I've always expressed myself best in writing; I began keeping journals and writing short stories and poetry as soon as I learned to form letters. Ironically, despite my love affair with words, the psychological theory that I most align with (ACT) is rooted in awareness that language is limited and that labeling our experiences can actually amplify human suffering. I've decided to embrace this irony. I love language for all that it provides us humans, but I also accept that our capacity for language can harm us if we aren't paying attention. I live in Chicago with my husband and our rambunctious pug/beagle mix.
