John Michael

At the intersection of faith and professional counseling stands Dr. John Michael, a cornerstone of the leadership team at Professional Counseling Associates (PCA). As an owner and managing partner focused on practice development, Dr. Michael embodies the unique blend of Christian values and evidence-based psychological practices that define PCA's approach to mental health care.

Dr. Michael's role goes beyond traditional therapy; he is instrumental in shaping the vision and direction of PCA, ensuring that the practice maintains its commitment to providing comprehensive, compassionate care while upholding the highest professional standards. His leadership has been pivotal in cultivating a team of highly trained, experienced, and compassionate psychologists, professional counselors, and medical providers.

At PCA, Dr. Michael has helped create an environment where faith-based counseling coexists harmoniously with cutting-edge psychological practices. The practice offers a wide range of services, including individual counseling, marriage counseling, family therapy for children and teens, psychological evaluation and assessment, and support for life's transitions. Under Dr. Michael's guidance, PCA has expanded its reach, with offices conveniently located throughout the Valley, making quality mental health care accessible to a broader community.

Dr. Michael's approach to therapy is rooted in the belief that effective counseling must address the whole person – mind, body, and spirit. While PCA's providers are trained to incorporate faith and spirituality into their professional services, Dr. Michael ensures that this aspect is always introduced at the client's discretion, respecting individual beliefs and preferences.

As a leader in Christian counseling, Dr. Michael has contributed to PCA's reputation as a trusted resource for those seeking support with dignity and the love of God. His commitment to non-discrimination and inclusivity has fostered an environment where clients from all walks of life feel welcome and respected, regardless of their race, religion, color, gender, sexual orientation, age, national origin, or disability status.
