"Together, we will focus on solutions and help you learn to cope with life's challenges; so you can enjoy life to the fullest. I use a variety of treatment strategies with an emphasis on cognitive behavioral therapy. I take a team approach with my clients and strongly believe in the value of the therapeutic relationship and empowering clients to make decisions in the treatment process. As opposed to some approaches of therapy which may take several years, I believe in the efficacy of a briefer counseling model. Please visit http://www.drpetemarcelo.com for more information."

"I work with clients who who feel they have lost their power, their inner voice and life direction. Together we develop shame resiliency, courage where there is fear and peace where there is anxiety. It is a privilege to enter, share and hold the sacred space of a client's life story; something I do with tenderness and compassion. Your pathway to healing will be unique to you and I believe you have the inner strength and faith to get there!"

"My clinical focus includes working with adolescent and adult clients to develop and support treatment goals. I also administer diagnostic assessments to clients to aid in their therapy progress. My experience includes working with adolescent and adult individuals with a variety of mental health issues, from mild to severe, while including their spouses or family in sessions to advance the process of therapy. I work with adult individuals whom are struggling in various phases of their life and help them manage the effects of mental health issues. "

"Life is hard and we make it harder when we deny that fact. I believe everyone has strength they have yet to uncover and I will be with you every step of the way as you discover your unique strength and become empowered to cope with all that life throws at you. Whether you are 6 or 90 or anywhere in between, you have the right to be free of whatever is weighing you down and the power to rise above."

"Using humor and a direct approach to make sure each person is heard, understood and respected allows me to create a good fit with my clients. I want to make sure we talk about what the client wants to talk about. My ideal client is frustrated in a relationship, but I work with with individuals, couples, and families faced with relationship difficulties, depression, anxiety, addictions, trauma, ADHD, grief, or unavoidable divorce. I can complete anger management and offer both premarital evaluations and counseling. Christian, Spanish and Hard-of-Hearing services are available."

"My work focuses on mental health therapy for adolescents and adults, starting about age 12 and older. My primary focuses are mood disorders such as depression and bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, trauma and PTSD, and personality disorders. I use a range of clinical approaches in my practice, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), trauma focused care of ARC, and solution focused treatment. In session we will work on past and present struggles, set attainable goals to address, learn to recognize patterns in mood and behavior, and learn new coping strategies."

"While I am skilled in working with a wide variety of clients, I most enjoy working with children, teens and adults who struggle with authority figures and themselves. I enjoy helping clients learn to know they are loved and heard. They often feel like they do not have a voice and they rebel because it has been more successful then being respectful to authority figures. The goals for the client would be learning to manage and express their feelings while learning to be respectful to one self and then respectful to others. The child's parents would learn and use positive parenting skills to help instill child's goals. "

"Empathy, acceptance, and genuineness are three qualities that I believe are the foundation for building a trusting and supportive therapeutic relationship. My areas of specialty are in the treatment of Couples, Women's Health Issues (perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, postpartum, pregnancy loss and infertility), Eating Disorders, Depression, Relationships, Pre-Marital counseling, and Emotional Regulation. In working with complex trauma, the emotional processing, exploration of self-related difficulties (e.g., fear and shame), and acceptance or resolution of past interpersonal issues are an important part of therapy. With complex trauma, I utilize an emotion-focused therapy approach, bringing emotion to the clinical forefront of therapy."

"Working with individuals who are anxious, depressed or struggling with life's circumstances is my specialty. I also work well with families in conflict. My multiple years of experience as a therapist/counselor and internship supervisor have given me a wide variety of opportunities to work with individuals and address different problem areas. I particularly enjoy engaging those who desire a therapeutic relationship to improve their quality of life. I am an active listener and strive to provide a warm, safe & confidential environment. My goal is to help my clients feel better & enable them to address their problems."
