Jorge Colapinto, LPsych, LMFT
Faculty, The Minuchin Center for the Family   

Paula Ochs possesses that rare combination of intellectual discipline and
spirited creativity that is key to promote change in others.  Her ability to zero
in on the essence of problem situations, tap on her clients’ underutilized
strengths, and push them to grow beyond the constraints imposed by
themselves or others make her a very effective therapist as well as an
invaluable resource to her supervisees.  


Patricia O'Dell, MSW
Clinical Director, Family Services of Morristown, NJ

Paula is a dedicated and gifted couples and family therapist and supervisor
who is fully committed to the training of future generations of clinicians.  She
provides her trainees with rich clinical opportunities that facilitate their growth
with confidence and ease,  Paula is able to articulate the nuances of
treatment in a manner that enable her trainees to experience the "aha"
moments that are so powerful in clinical work.  She is a life-long learner who
has studied with some of our profession's most treasured family therapists,
both in North America and abroad, and generously imparts her knowledge,
wisdom and skills to others.  She has my full confidence and support!    


Edward Weikert,MSW, LMFT
Clinical Director, Family Service League, Montclair, NJ

In the 13 years I have worked with Paula, she has always maintained a
devotion and dedication to the idea of striving for excellence in the
therapeutic process.  This certainly includes her work as a supervisor.  If you
want a supervisor who is knowledgeable, challenging, devoted, and empathic
and dedicated to your development as a therapist, you should take the
opportunity to be supervised by Paula. This would be a gift to yourself.


Angela DeCandia-Presuto MSW, LCSW
Clinician, Private Practice, Former Supervisee

I started my supervision with Paula as an intern in 2003 and have had the
distinct privilege of working with her over the past 6 years. Paula is a
passionate teacher. For me, her unique blend of intellect, creativity, humor,
intensity, and above all else, support, gave me the confidence as an
emerging clinician to challenge my thinking. Over the years, Paula has
continued her own exploration of therapy through many different theoretical
lenses, always bringing her own learning back to our work together. Paula has
taught me to step far outside of my comfort zone, and in doing so, helped me
to find my own voice as a therapist. I cannot say enough to express what she
has given me both professionally and
personally.
