Michael Stattel, LPC

I have been seeing Michael for a few years now and he has really helped me navigate through the stressors of my life. His presence is very calming, and though I am one of the more closed off people on this planet, he has the ability to get me to open up like no one has before. He always listens to my concerns while never rushing me, allowing me to reach many conclusions on my own. He shows care, compassion and understanding to my concerns while using real life scenarios to allow me to reflect. Michael’s style helps me to find what emotions are causing the issue and helps me process them. He will treat you as an individual, with respect and genuine empathy.

‘Kindhearted, caring ,intelligent, insightful, encouraging and helpful‘ Thank you Michael for making a positive difference in my life at a time when it was needed most. I highly recommend you, and once again I thank you.

I had seen quite a few therapists before Michael with little relief of my anxiety and depression. Seeing Michael was tremendously helpful in my life and my marriage. I highly recommend Michael to anyone needing someone to talk to.

I found Michael to be a very caring and understanding therapist. He was compassionate in leading me through unleashing some long buried emotions and allowing the joy of life to return. Empathy and kindness are great strengths and I continue to use what I have learned in his sessions.

Michael is a skillful therapist, a good listener with a caring heart. He helped me work my way out of a rough patch of life and I am grateful.

I appreciated and value Michael's unique style of treating the whole issue, mind and body.

The Valley is extremely fortunate to have a LPC as knowledgeable and qualified as Michael. I have found his holistic approach to align with my personal philosophies and life goals. Michael integrates strategies of mindfulness, energy movement and deep breathing techniques into sessions. It was a little foreign at first but the skills I learned have provided me with life long coping skills.

I have had the pleasure of visiting Michael several times over the past 20 years and he's really wonderful! I've been able to develop a better sense of myself and how I deal with stress from his techniques and support. He is a great therapist with empathy, kindness and an ability to support positive change. I highly recommend him !!
