Paula Prober, M.S., M.Ed., is a licensed counselor in private practice in Eugene, Oregon. She works with adults to heal unresolved issues from childhood and specializes in counseling and consulting with gifted adults, youth, and families. She received a Master's degree in Counseling from Oregon State University and also has a Master's in Education. Paula has written Ten Tips for Women Who Want to Change the World Without Losing Their Friends, Shirts, or Minds, and published articles on giftedness in the Register Guard, the journal Advanced Development, the Psychotherapy Networker, and the Annals of the American Psychotherapy Association. She has also written and produced an award-winning video Wounded Healers, has been an adjunct instructor at the University of Oregon, and served as a presenter at Pacific University's Gifted Education Center and Oregon State University's summer program for gifted children. Paula has developed the analogy of the "rainforest mind" to explain giftedness. Like the rainforest, gifted individuals are often complex, multi-layered, intense, highly sensitive, colorful, creative, overwhelming, fragile and misunderstood.

"As therapists, we give what we have- and what Paula has is a firm grasp of the healing properties of the creative process. Paula is very creative and compassionate in working with clients. People experience safety on their journey when working with her because they know they are with an experienced traveler." -Joyce Baker, LPC

"When I'm with Paula, I experience unconditional love. Her presence allows me to access a very deep place inside myself very quickly and easily. I have received some wonderful insights and healings through this work." -Client
