The Trauma-Money Connection
Anxiety, ADHD, Relationship Conflict, Trauma, etc., and financial struggles.
These conditions can both create and result from financial challenges. They can lead to impulsive spending or difficulty managing finances, causing financial stress. Conversely, financial struggles can trigger anxiety and worsen symptoms.
It’s a complex interplay, but with support, individuals can find strategies to manage both their mental health and finances effectively.

The Finance Therapist Podcast
Michele Paiva, Financial Therapist/Licensed Therapist

I’m Michele, a Financial Therapist based in Pennsylvania, though I have clients internationally. With over three decades of experience, I focus on financial therapy, trauma healing, and financial literacy. I offer personalized 1:1 sessions, group programs, and a weekday podcast, ‘The Finance Therapist.’
Welcome to this space where financial well-being and emotional healing merge. My style is laid-back and light-hearted because I believe therapy doesn’t have to be morose, and financial wellness shouldn’t be shrouded with shame, blame or feel taboo.
In addition to my therapy practice, I own a public relations agency dedicated to helping clients enter the spotlight. It’s a platform for those ready to be seen and heard by the media and the public if they so wish.
Unlocking Financial Freedom Through Healing Via Financial Therapy
In the intricate tapestry of our lives, the threads of our past experiences often weave a profound impact on our financial well-being.
Just like an artist creates masterpieces from fragments of color or texture, our financial journey is shaped by the stories of our past, both beautiful and challenging.
Childhood trauma or
recent turbulent relationships
can cast shadows that linger,
affecting our relationship with money.
Yesterday’s wounds can echo into our financial choices today, creating obstacles to prosperity. But here, I recognize that healing these wounds is essential to economic liberation.
