It is our unique life experiences that influence our perspective. Most of us confront our problems based on our life experiences. At PAZ Behavioral Health, PLLC, it is our belief that life is a tapestry and it is beautiful, even with its imperfections. Like a tapestry, our lives are woven differently, which makes us all unique.

Spring has just begun and you’re already fearing swimsuit season! Just the thought of shedding winter clothing and baring your skin this summer causes you to feel like hiding. It can be so difficult to enjoy a “normal” life when your mind is preoccupied with diet, weight, or the size and shape of your body. It’s hard to concentrate at work or school when you can’t stop fixating on your muffin top, and how many calories or “points” you have left for the day. You feel anxious when it comes to being around other people because you fear they’re judging you. You have no idea how you got into this vicious cycle, or how to get out.

We all have times when life's challenges require us to look for hidden solutions and opportunities. It is a privilege to provide effective assistance and encouragement during those times. Blending traditional, positive, client-centered psychotherapy with leading-edge neuroscience, I offer a mind-body approach and a wide variety of therapy options. From individual, couples and family therapy to sports psychology, EMDR and EEG Neurofeedback, you can select the treatment experience right for you. Please call today for a free phone consultation and visit our web site, www.PeakInstitute.com.

Seeking professional help is a significant and empowering personal decision. It’s an opportunity to sort through troubling thoughts and feelings, overcome obstacles, and search for new solutions and pathways for positive change and growth. It’s an acknowledgement of the desire and need to look at one’s life from a different perspective. I believe one of the most important components for guiding clients through this process is the establishment of a supportive, compassionate, and nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship. Within this framework, I strive to offer understanding, reassurance, acceptance, and hope.

Most of life's difficulties we humans experience can be made better by doing something different. What needs to be different is at the center of therapy. Learning how to give up old behaviors in favor of new, more healthy actions, goes hand in hand with operating differently. Often when we attempt to live differently, negative emotions will kick in that cause us to cling to the old ways. Having someone understand you and these emotions will enhance and smooth out the process of evolving into the person you want to be.

My clients are adults who are struggling with different mental health issues and looking for relief and support. Specific issues relate to anxiety, depression, men's issues, general stress management, family/relationship issues, and sexual issues. My clients want a therapist that is warm and compassionate, yet also direct and willing to talk about the difficult areas of life so that they can face life stressors head-on and create positive change.

I work alongside adults and teens, treating anxiety, chronic stress, sleep problems, history of trauma, and/or co-occurring medical conditions. Most of us don’t recognize the ways in which we might be holding ourselves back, whether it be due to anxiety, our relationship with food, or beliefs that we have taken on from others. I’ve seen firsthand the transformation that is possible when you get out of your own way.

"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results." ADDICTION & DEPENDENCY result from an unconscious refusal to move through the pain of withdrawal (from a chemical, thought-process, behavior, other person, etc.). The behavior gets repeated, accompanied by cycles of disappointment, shame, GRIEF, frustration and isolation. Having experienced this same cycle (more than once) I bring years of education, training, personal recovery experiences and compassion to our therapeutic relationship. My PERSONAL therapeutic process is on-going. I would be honored to help you in yours. EASY? Nope. WORTH IT? Yes!

Are you finding yourself stuck, lost, unmotivated, or worried about your future? Are you struggling as a parent or partner and desire to move your family in a positive direction? Many have been there and I can help guide you through this season of life. I believe everyone has a journey that has led them to where they are today. Through understanding your own journey, we will work together to develop new skills, behaviors, thoughts, and beliefs that will lead to a healthy, productive, and meaningful life.

We all go through life struggles, which we are not able to handle on our own. Therapy is a very helpful tool to get the help and guidance that you, your family or typical support network may not be able to provide. My job as a psychotherapist is to work collaboratively with clients to help you heal and grow. My approach is gentle and direct, and while I have confidence in my knowledge about therapy, I treat every client as an individual and learn from every person who works with me. My clients would say they trust my intuition, pay close attention, tell them the truth and empower them with ongoing effective strategies for healing.

Do you frequently ask yourself "Why do I keep doing this?!" If so, we are likely to be a good fit. I seek to help my clients better understand their emotional needs and respond to them in healthy ways so that they feel better at work, at play, in relationships, and in their own skin. My particular interest is with those seeking to lose weight, and working with those clients from a Health At Every Size perspective. After working with hundreds of weight loss surgery clients, I have a unique understanding among mental health professionals of the challenges that come before and after bariatric surgery.

We were made to THRIVE! So why do we get stuck and how do we move towards a more fulfilling life? That's my focus and why I can help you move forward. Do you drink too much, eat too much, buy too much or worry all the time? It's exhausting, I get it, but there are different choices to make once we discover we can make them. We are doing the best we can with what we know and what we've learned yet when we do life differently it gives us a chance to flourish.

I am energetic, insightful, direct, inquisitive, and a dynamic clinician. My ideal client would be one that wants to explore opportunities for growth and who is motivated to dig deep into the therapeutic process. Clients who experience anxiety, life transitions, or trauma often need a safe place to process those challenges. This allows clients to get to the root of the issues and learn ways to move forward versus feeling stuck. It is important that clients understand that I can be direct, but I will always respect your unique needs and have a solid understanding that one size does not fit all when it comes to mental health.

My name is Jeremy Capello and I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist. I received my PhD. in Counseling Psychology from the University of Texas at Austin in 2008. I help people find ways to successfully manage life's obstacles. These may include dealing with medical/health concerns, daily stressors, life transitions, grief and loss and exposure to traumatic life experiences. By acknowledging and examining the impact of your life events we can work together to re-frame perspective, honor experiences and find a voice that will give you the courage to build strength and resilience in the midst of change.

I work with individuals in all phases of addiction recovery, including dual diagnosis. My passion is helping individuals regain the confidence and trust that was lost due to a myriad of core issues that contribute to addiction. I believes that addiction is a family system disease and I will help significant family members navigate and understand the nature of their loved one's struggle. I also work closely with the LGBTQ community, especially individuals and their partners struggling with gender identity challenges. And I have extensive experience with grief and loss and difficult life transitions caused by cognitive decline.

"Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated." -Confucius. My philosophy is this; you already know the answers to your problems, you just don't know that you know them yet. My job is to help you unlock the secrets to your own happiness and productivity. I work with adults, adolescents, couples, and families, and get tremendous fulfillment in seeing my clients succeed. No problem is unsolvable. Working with me will grant you greater stress tolerance and emotional resilience, as well as "mind-hacks" that will change how you deal with normal day-to-day life.

Change is hard, not having the tools, direction, and support make the process even harder. I can help you identify areas that may be keeping you stuck. I also provide wellness and behavioral health coaching in addition to traditional therapy.

Reaching out to begin counseling takes strength, courage and vulnerability. It represents a desire for understanding and a hope for change to take place. As a counselor, I work with adolescents, adults and couples. I hope to enrich the lives of the clients that I serve by working alongside each individual while offering guidance, support and empathy. My goal is to help my clients figure out how to use their unique strengths to work through a challenging time in their lives by developing new coping skills to deal with previous roadblocks.
