As we celebrate our 60th anniversary, we’re proud to spotlight the incredible staff who make East House such a special place.
Meet Paola!
Paola serves as a counselor in East House’s Mental Health Apartment Program, where no two days are ever the same. From supporting clients one-on-one and writing progress notes to participating in case reviews, her work requires focus, compassion, and resilience. She carefully balances empathy with accountability, meeting clients where they are while encouraging growth and independence.
The work can be demanding, but it’s also deeply meaningful. Along the way, Paola has discovered something powerful about herself: she’s stronger than she ever realized. Through her role, she’s built the confidence to set healthy boundaries, provide thoughtful guidance, and celebrate every small victory alongside her clients.
Her dedication reflects the heart of East House’s mission, empowering individuals to take steps forward, one day at a time.
Stay tuned as we continue highlighting more wonderful staff members in honor of our 60th anniversary!
