Struggling with addiction and feel rehab isn’t an option? Leaving your family, job, school and responsibilities for an extended period of time is not always needed to get yourself healthy and on track. If you or a loved one are struggling with addiction, I know the challenges of this lifestyle. Being caught in the cycle of addiction is hard--feelings of fear, failure, guilt, and shame. You may have tried stopping on your own, only to find yourself engaging in the same unhelpful behavior. Breaking this cycle alone is tough! Counseling may be more effective for you than rehab. I specialize in moderation & abstinence based approaches.

Congratulations on taking the first step in finding solutions to life's challenges. Seeking support is a huge strength, which takes bravery, you are not alone. My most important consideration is cultivating a safe space for vulnerability and authenticity. I aim to create a collaborative space that fosters positive change to ultimately transition new skills, insight and behaviors out in to your every day life. I work with a broad range of clients including but not limited to: military personal and their families transitioning back in to civilian life, to incarcerated youth grappling with drug addition, violence and instability.

Would you like to work with a professional who will truly listen? Within a space of safety and acceptance, you will explore ways in which your past experience is connected to your present beliefs and behaviors. You will develop a keener awareness of the thought processes which may be perpetuating and creating disabling conditions, such as anxiety and depression. You will develop a more balanced perspective of your life and others around you. You will learn coping skills and how to apply them to manage difficult emotions.

Life can be difficult to navigate these days with added pressure from home, work and just life itself. We can get overwhelmed which adds on extra pressure, anxiety, isolation, and even substance abuse issues. If you are looking for support in a safe and comfortable therapeutic environment to explore new and healthy coping skills that will be beneficial to you in everyday life, please reach out and call today.

Hello and thank you for visiting my profile. I look forward to discussing how I might be able to help you navigate your way through this interesting thing called life. In my life, I have been fortunate to have a great many experiences, transitions, joys, sorrows, anxiety, depression, schooling, training and licensure that I am able to bring to our time together. Good therapy has so many facets it is difficult to name them all. One facet that cannot be ignored is that of connection with your chosen professional. I wholeheartedly welcome the opportunity to see if that connection exists with any potential clients.

Did growing up in a wounding family cause trauma that is still affecting you? Did you experience trauma at the hands of another that left you with feelings of being unsafe, insecure and unlovable? Guilt and shame? Imagine waking up peaceful and optimistic about your Life and future. Imagine having relationships that are loving and full of grace and building a family that is one that you would have loved to grow up in. If you can see it you can be it…lets work through old trauma so that you can see and be the “you” that you have always wanted to be! Helping people work through trauma is what I love to do!

Everyday, think as you wake up - today I am fortunate to have woken up. I am alive, I have a precious human life. I am not going to waste it. Being human isn’t always easy and I am here to help you navigate that path gently. I have over 25 years experience and have worked in many diverse settings: in group homes, ADHD clinics, child and family centers, community mental health centers, hospitals, inpatient psychiatric clinics, colleges (both as a Professor of Psychology and as a Counselor). With this experience I am confident that I can help you navigate through whatever it is that brought you here.

If you are struggling with life's challanges and are seeking tools to better cope with or overcome those challanges I want to help you. The foundation of my work is the collaborative and proven effective tools of Cognitive and Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Exploring and understanding our core beliefs and the relationship between thoughts and feelings gives us the tools to make effective change. Making a commitment to changing behaviors helps us sort out what we actually have control over and frees us from expecting others to change in order for us to be happy.

Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed or frustrated? Is stress or worry keeping you up at night? Are you having difficulty following through with plans or your activities of daily living?

Are you being affected by anxiety, depression, or past trauma? Are you going through a life transition? Therapy is a place to be heard, understood, and cared for in a safe environment. It is also a place to be validated and empowered.

FOR DEPRESSION, ANXIETY, RELATIONSHIPS, ADDICTION, TRAUMA: I blend psychology and spirituality to treat uncomfortable emotions, relationship issues, feelings of isolation, the monkey mind of the ego, as well as heavy, stuck energy that needs releasing. Psychodynamic therapy, guided meditation, and shamanic modes of healing can help shift the way you think and feel. As Einstein put it: "No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it." Using an integrative approach we will connect with your higher self and beyond to experience real transformation and change of consciousness.

Life can be overwhelming. Ongoing problems can leave us frustrated and defeated. Anxiety, depression, trauma, drug and alcohol dependence, relationship conflict, or isolation make it even harder to cope. The joy and spirit of life that we once had seems far gone. We may feel like we've been holding it together for weeks, months, or even years. At our lowest we lose perspective and believe things will never change. We don't want to be this way anymore. Life shouldn't feel this hard.

My name is Brock Pistel, Ph.D. and I really enjoy what I do. I’m a licensed psychologist in the state of California, working with clients via telehealth. I provide individual therapy to adults experiencing difficulties with anxiety, depression, substance misuse, and trauma. I primarily use a cognitive behavioral therapy approach but often I adapt my approach to best suit my clients. Rather than adhering solely to one specific theory or approach, I use some of the best combinations of interventions I believe the field has to offer. I believe in using interventions best suited to a client.

I work with a diverse population of clients providing individual, group, couples, and family therapy to those struggling with alcoholism, drug addiction, eating disorders as well as mood and anxiety disorders. I have extensive experience working in both inpatient settings and in my private practice. In my work I am compassionate, engaged, attentive, playful, fierce, challenging, non-judgmental, and tender. I am a client centered, humanistic, depth psychologist, which means that therapy is focused on clients and their issues. I believe in authenticity, genuineness, and unconditional positive regard. Together we work to address multiple areas of client's life.

Stress is a part of all our lives and manifests in a variety of ways. I provide stress reduction and other counseling modalities for individuals, couples and families. For over 30 years, I have worked in a neurological clinic, medical emergency rooms, hospitals, and psychiatric settings. I have a great deal of confidence working in these settings and in physicians and nurse practitioners. With this experience, I have a lot to offer the people who see me. You are welcome to call for a free consultation.

Have you ever wondered which experiences in your life have the most influence over the way that you feel? I specialize in helping you find these answers through relationships. Your relationship with yourself, partner and family. Together we can tailor a treatment to focus on your strengths and areas of needed support. I utilize a specialized modality called EMDR that can help us gain insight about yourself, your past experiences that have shaped who you are today, and work through the healing process together. My goal is to provide support and a safe place to let your guard down thus enriching your relationships.

There are many reasons people seek therapy. Most likely, you're here because you're feeling out of balance in some aspect of your life.

Therapy can help you gain insight about yourself, increase your sense of confidence, or help you explore a new life path with courage and intention. My hope is to provide support, tools, and encouragement to help you find greater balance, authenticity, and overall well-being.
