MICHAEL ANGELO, MSJ, NCC, MSCP, LCPC
Michael specializes in treating patients with PANIC ATTACKS, PHOBIAS, OCD, SOCIAL ANXETY, DEPRESSION, PTSD, and GENERALIZED ANXIETY using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Exposure Response Prevention techniques—proven approaches that yield superior outcomes. He also works closely with COUPLES, addressing the misconceptions they bring into their relationship, including the mistaken belief that “the other person must make me happy”; “if I change the other person, my life would be better”; if they cared about me, they would change”; or “if they can’t love me the way my parents did, then they don’t love me at all.”
HEIDI L. GIBBONS, LCPC, NCC
Heidi’s passion is helping adolescents and adults struggling with EATING DISORDERS, SELF-INJURY, MOOD DISORDERS, BIPOLAR DISORDER, or SUBSTANCE or SEXUAL ABUSE. Her clinical skills and empathic nature make her the ideal professional to address these and other concerns. She also has a hunger for helping couples struggling with INTIMACY ISSUES—paying special attention to how each perceives and experiences love. This allows couples to develop and maintain enthusiasm with themselves and their partner, especially after one of them has experienced trauma or infidelity.
MICHAEL J. WALTERS, MA, LPC, NCC

Whatever someone is struggling with—SUBSTANCE ABUSE, MULTICULTURAL CONFLICTS, PERSONALITY DISORDER, or other SPECIALTIES—Michael finds the right solution for them so that they can move past their fears. A home-school parent, Michael also works with co-op STUDENTS and FAMILIES. No challenge is too big or small for him.
