Paula Langford

Paula Langford, MD, LCSW-C, brings three decades of clinical practice to adults seeking an integrative approach to emotional and life challenges. Based in Maryland, she focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self esteem, and depression. Additional areas of attention include chronic pain, illness and disability, divorce and separation, life purpose, veteran and armed forces issues, post-traumatic stress, seasonal affective disorder, social anxiety and phobia, and workplace concerns. She sees clients aged 18 and older.

Her work combines traditional psychotherapy with non-traditional modalities enumerated in her practice, including Reiki, EMDR, Emotional Freedom Technique, and coaching. These options are offered through teletherapy to make different approaches accessible without requiring in-person visits. Langford invites people who have not found fit in previous treatment to explore integrated methods that pair talk-based work with body-centered techniques.

Clients can expect a collaborative process aimed at clarifying goals and identifying next steps. She offers coaching sessions for goal setting alongside therapeutic pathways when clients prefer to focus on practical change or seek alternative methods to address symptoms and life transitions.
