Paul Aston

Paul was born and raised in Orange County and Graduated from Cal state Fullerton majoring in Psychology. He has always had a deep passion for helping others. As the fifth of seven children, he grew up in a close-knit family where the value of service was instilled in him early on. His father, a physical therapist with over 40 years of experience, became a powerful role model, showing Paul the impact one person could have in improving the lives of others.

Paul’s journey into mental health was shaped by his own personal challenges. From a young age, he faced mental health obstacles that led him down a difficult path. It was during a turning point in his life at the age of 30 that Paul had a profound realization: he wanted to be the person who helps others during their most difficult moments, just as he had once needed help.

Paul founded BrightPath Mental Health with a clear mission—to provide individuals with the tools, guidance, and support they need to lead the happiest, most fulfilling lives possible. He believes that while no one is perfect, everyone deserves a chance to find happiness and healing. BrightPath’s approach is grounded in this philosophy, and the team is dedicated to helping people reclaim their lives, no matter their past or current struggles.

Paul’s commitment to mental health advocacy and his personal experiences provide him with a unique perspective and a compassionate, non-judgmental approach to therapy. He knows that healing is possible, and that with the right support, anyone can create meaningful change in their life.
