Frequently Asked Questions

Go to the booking page and enter your email address in the first box. Type the same email again in Confirm email, then click Send Code. Open that email inbox and enter the six digit code. If the message is not visible, check spam or junk because email filters can move automated messages there.

After verification, choose how you want to book. Use the MFI form for direct pay. Use Headway if you want to book with insurance. Headway is the insurance booking partner, and the Headway button opens Dr. Paula Gable's Headway page so you can check benefits and book there directly.

For direct pay, select the appointment type, choose an available day, choose a time, click Next, enter your name and phone number, then review everything before confirming.

Open your appointment confirmation email and choose Reschedule. That button opens the appointment page for that booking.

Choose a new available day, then choose the new time you want. Review the old appointment and the new appointment before continuing. Self-pay appointments show the $26 reschedule fee before checkout.

The appointment is not changed until you complete the final confirmation or checkout step. After it is complete, you receive a reschedule confirmation email with the updated day and time.

Open your appointment confirmation email and choose Cancel. That button opens the appointment page for that booking.

Review the appointment details carefully. The appointment stays active until you click the final cancellation button.

After you confirm cancellation, the appointment is removed from the schedule and a cancellation email confirms it is done.

Therapy may be a good fit if anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, relationship conflict, or another concern is affecting daily life or wellbeing. MFI provides licensed clinical care with an individualized treatment plan rather than a one-size-fits-all program.

If you are unsure which MFI service fits your needs, schedule a free consultation. We can discuss your goals, answer general questions, and explain the appropriate next step.

MFI's licensed therapy services are available to clients located in Colorado at the time of service. This includes couples therapy, family therapy, individual therapy, and addiction counseling under Colorado professional requirements.

If you are outside Colorado, contact a licensed provider in your location or use the national support resources listed on our Resources page.

For licensed therapy in Colorado, insurance booking is handled through Headway. Use Dr. Paula's Headway page to check current plan eligibility, benefits, and appointment options before booking.

MFI also offers direct-pay appointment options. Review the current Insurance and Fees page before booking because coverage and out-of-pocket costs vary by plan.

Not at all. While my background includes serving as an ordained minister, my practice is entirely inclusive and respectful of all belief systems — including secular ones.

My focus is always on your internal wisdom. We will ground our work in practical, research-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Family Systems theory.

If spiritual concepts resonate with you, we can certainly incorporate them. If not, we focus solely on evidence-based tools and compassionate care. I have worked with atheists, agnostics, Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, and everything in between — what matters is that the work serves you.

It means you don't have to choose between logic and heart.

My engineering background means I value what works — so I use proven, research-backed strategies that lead to tangible changes in your thinking, behavior, and relationships. No fluff, no vague affirmations.

My ministerial background brings profound care, deep empathy, and the unwavering belief that you possess the innate capacity to transform your life. You'll receive practical tools for your mind and compassionate support for your soul — both, not either/or.

The result is a practice that is both rigorous and deeply human.
