Dr. Paul Deutsch, LPC
About me
Welcome! Thank you for taking a minute to explore a bit about who I am. My name is Paul Deutsch and I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor for the past 15 years. I recently received my Doctorate of Education in Counselor Education and Supervision from Viterbo University. I have been working in a community based rural setting for my career. I have been a member of clinical teams and have been working in a solo practice for the past 4 years. I have a broad base of clinical skills with an emphasis on complex challenges like personality disorders (and related concerns like self-harm), depression, anxiety and panic, LGBTQ stressors, family dynamics and the various forms of marital conflict.
My theory of practice is based in a Humanistic approach. I could be seen as a Post-modern (Solution-Focused, Narrative) but also have strong ties to interventions related to Cognitive Behavioral Theory and Radical Acceptance. I am deeply connected to the metaphysical qualities and energy work associated with our mental process, both as it relates to our relationship with our intuition and our interactions with our external worlds. These skills connected with my understanding of neuroscience and brain functionality have supported my effective use of language to develop deep and supportive rapports with my clients.
I spend my time off from counseling as a Personal Trainer and Strength and Conditioning coach and have extensive training in nutrition and physical wellbeing. I also love to ski and ride fat tire bike. An additional skill set is within Business Coaching and have helped many clients improve their work lives, keep jobs or change to better ones while supporting an improved sense of self. I look forward to having the opportunity to find ways that I can support your journey. The road is hard and living a life brings suffering but these days we don't have to do that alone.
Be well, Paul

I’ve had close to a dozen therapists in my life, but no one compares to Dr. Deutsch. He is sincere and has great recommendations for me to help me get to where I want to be.

Worked with Dr. Deutsch multiple times now. He helped me through some deeper issues and I work with him now mostly for spot checks when I hit speedbumps. I really enjoy his direct and lighthearted style. It keeps me looking directly at the problem but with compassion for myself.

Dr. Deutsch is caring, compassionate and very down to earth. I like his calm demeanor and grounded approach to guiding me in tackling the problems that life hands us. I look forward to my sessions with him and I am not a "therapy" guy, well I should say that I was not a "therapy" guy but I am now and see the value in having a knowledgeable therapist to talk to on a regular basis.

Dr. Deutsch is very knowledgable and it was clear from the start that he has lots of experience in this field. The approach we used was strength focused which was incredibly helpful. I'd recommend him to anyone looking for a "spotter" - to notice your thought processes, and walk you through them with honesty and respect.

I completely trust Dr. Deutsch. His expertise is apparent in how he gently challenges my beliefs and offers education to support my questions or concerns as they come up.
