“Hi, Ernesto Paz
LMFT”
Hi, I’m Ernesto Paz, a licensed marriage and family therapist, and the founder of Inner Paz Counseling. I’ve spent over 10 years working in addiction and mental health treatment, and through that time, I saw just how different each person’s healing journey can be. That’s why I started Inner Paz to offer therapy that’s flexible, supportive, and meets you where you are.
I focus on real-life progress and work with adults who are dealing with substance use, anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem, or relationship issues. Whether you’re thinking about sobriety, curious about moderation, or want to improve your mental health and relationships, I’m here to help. I offer virtual individual therapy, couples counseling, and addiction support, all designed to fit your unique needs. We’ll work together to understand what’s holding you back and find practical tools that support lasting change.

Expert Care That Meets You Where You Are
Your path to healing shouldn’t feel like a checklist. We offer therapy that adapts to you, combining clinical skill with compassion, so you feel supported, understood, and seen.
-
Evidence-Based, Personalized Therapy
Only proven therapy methods are used, like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and values-based approaches. These are research-backed tools that help people manage anxiety, depression, substance use, and relationship struggles. Your therapy plan is never cookie-cutter; it’s according to your goals, pace, and life.
-
Flexible Virtual Sessions with Secure Telehealth
Inner Paz Counseling is 100% virtual, which means you can get quality care from the comfort of your home. Video calls are through a HIPAA-compliant platform to protect your privacy and ensure your information stays secure. Sessions are easy to join, mobile-friendly, and scheduled to fit your lifestyle, whether that’s during a lunch break or after work.

Cohesive Support
Many therapists focus on one area, but Ernesto Paz gives you support for both mental and substance rehabilitation. That means you don’t need to visit a separate clinician for addiction and another for emotional well-being. Whether you're working on sobriety, moderation, or emotional balance, we help you connect the dots and heal as a whole person.

Can’t Move? It’s Not Laziness—It Might Be Depression
If getting out of bed feels impossible or simple tasks seem overwhelming, it’s not because you’re weak or lazy. It could be depression—quiet, heavy, and often misinterpreted. We see the weight you’re carrying, even if no one else does. With compassionate therapy, we help you or your family member understand what’s going on and take steps toward feeling like yourself again.
