Michael Flood Counseling & Testing Services

Michael Flood started this private practice in 2007 after retiring from the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections for 15 years. I have been involved in the mental health field since 1989. I believe it is a privilege and honor to provide care, comfort, and insight to those who seek my counseling skills. With over 30 years of experience, I am passionate about continuing to grow my knowledge and experience through education and professional training.
I started my private practice with an emphasis on anger management therapy and working with personality disorders. It wasn’t long before realizing a big need to help individuals with anxiety. Around the same time, I started working with individuals who have suffered traumatic experiences that overwhelm their being.
Whether it is experienced abuse or a life-threatening experience, there are therapeutic strategies that can bring a reduction to the physical and cognitive chains that impede a person’s ability to experience life without intrusive thoughts and feelings.
As a veteran of the Vietnam era, I have a personal concern for our military service personnel who have experienced trauma.
I work with individuals over the age of 18, and couples.
