Paul Peavy believes life is to be lived and experienced at its fullest! He is full of energy and positivity and ready to share that with you no matter what you are going through! Paul understands that to help you get your passion and purpose back in your life he needs to hear you out thoroughly and completely to really understand where you are coming from. He then will give you very understandable and measurable approaches to get you back in top form. He works with adolescents and adults with anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. Paul keeps his energy and positivity going by making sure he gets his workouts on! Paul is a three time Ironman Triathlon finisher (That's a 1.4 mile ocean swim, followed by a 112 mile bike, followed by the 26.2 marathon run. Yes, all in the same day!) Now he knows he needs to work on gaining strength by lifting heavy things as we all do so he participates in CrossFit and obstacle course racing events. As a former Stand-Up Comic he loves to laugh through sitcoms, animated movies, Stand-Up Comedy specials and he believes Bluey may be the funniest show on television (take a three minute test view on Disney and he knows you will agree)! He likes to keep his writing chops sharpened by continuing to write a sequel to his humorous sixth grade teacher and his class, "Mr. Woible's Foibles!" (think "Diary Of A Wimpy Teacher" but the author can't even draw stick figures). Connect with Paul and he will help you discover on of his favorite speaking topics, "Rediscovering The Joy Of Life!"

Overall rating:
He's great. Easy to talk to and listens. Couldn't have asked for a better first time ever session.
Caring and understanding
i'd like to try a different approach. i normally need motivation the most and venting during talk therapy only helps me so much.
Thank you for helping me through a rough time in my life. It really helped me a lot.
He listened, he gave compliments, his facial expressions let me know he was really involved.
He’s been really helpful so far. I have no complaints.
The last two sessions I had no sound from Paul Peavy. There is a big problem with doing my sessions. Please be sure I am not charged for the last two as I did not have sessions. I will reschedule soon
He's been really good at bringing things up to work on with me. I don't see where he needs to improve anywhere. He's grear!
More of the same. I did have some difficulty hearing him as it sounded like he was in a large room
So far he's already doing a good job
He's fantastic. I hope he stays with y'all!
Next level would be a mind reader, reaching out with his wisdom when I am struggling at random times. Seriously, Paul is great and I appreciate him listening, supporting and guiding me.
Sometimes we have minor connectivity issues, but I'm not sure it's something Paul can control.
You guys should not be making them do 55 min sessions and go over that when the client is late. Therapists need more time between clients than five minutes. It's absurd you have changed that. It's like you're making them mentally abused slaves.
I very much enjoyed our chat
I really like him so far. short intake is hard to gauge long term, but I left the meeting with some hope I've been missing for a long time. Or forever, maybe.
I’m completely happy with the care I receive.
