About Paula Ernst, LMSW
Paula Ernst is a licensed social worker with extensive experience working with children and families, specializing in guiding them through difficult conversations and challenging situations.

Paula oversees programs that include education, movement, nutrition, support groups, counseling, and more, all designed to help families navigate the complexities of a cancer diagnosis. Additionally, Paula works one-on-one with children in order to help them process their emotions and build resilience skills to face life’s challenges.
