Paige Achten

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

Hi! My name is Paige Achten. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have extensive experience in healthcare working with geriatric patients and caregivers. I also love working with people living with trauma, anxiety, depression, and grief and loss. I have worked with everyone from elementary aged children to older adults but mostly have young adults-older adults on my current caseload.

I take a positive and holistic approach to therapy, highlighting my clients’ strengths and checking in with the mind and body. Therapy with me is a collaborative process where the client determines therapy goals and pace of sessions. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, but use other modalities that focus on mindfulness, acceptance, and motivation as well.

The first session is all about getting to know you and your goals for therapy. Clients often share with me how difficult it has been for them to connect with therapists in the past, and how pleasantly surprised they are with how easy I am to talk to. I enjoy being a calming and safe presence, but value humor in therapy as well. I believe healing happens in relationships and I will show up for you as your therapist.

Is Online Therapy the Right Choice for Your Mental Health Journey?

Many people wonder whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person care. A key advantage is flexibility – clients can connect in the way that feels best for them, using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility often makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule. Licensed professionals provide online therapy, and clients can change therapists at any time if they need a different fit. For many, remote sessions offer an accessible and effective option for addressing everyday mental health needs.
