Michael Pinter, SSP, NCSP, a Psychologist with MikeThePsych LLC / Collier County Public Schools
Get to know Psychologist Michael Pinter, who serves patients in Florida.
Michael is certified and licensed as a school psychologist, providing assessment, counseling, and consultation to students, staff, and parents at Collier County Public Schools in Naples, Florida.
Having exemplified the school psychologist role in his private practice in Bonita Springs, MikeThePsych LLC, he provides services to individuals, couples, and families. Specifically, the service addresses issues with children, adolescents, and adults who present signs of anxiety impulses, depression, despair, obsessive compulsive behaviors, learning difficulties, relationship issues, life stage transitions, divorce challenges or related problems.
“I implement effective counseling methods to instill self-awareness among patients and encourage them to adopt new attitudes and feelings towards life situations. It is essential to keep in mind that counseling is not a magic pill or a quick fix: counseling is a healing process that necessitates participation and investment from the patient and caretaker alike. But in the end, making small changes to self-defeating behavior and coping with feelings of sadness, fear, and pain can bring life-altering results” expressed Michael.
Academically, he earned his Master of Science degree (MS) and Specialists in School Psychology degree (SSP) from Barry University. During his graduate education, he completed a variety of training experiences including working in the university’s mental health clinic (CARE Center) where he provided counseling services and psychoeducational evaluations to children.
Trained in a variety of counseling styles, Michael completed practicum experience with the Broward County School District and internship experience with Collier County Public Schools. He then completed directed research at Barry University titled ‘Concussion Training: A Need for Teachers and Parents’, which focused on the symptoms of concussion, its impact on learning, and teacher/parent comfortability levels with the identification of concussions and the implementation of strategies.
In both the private and public sector, Michael has worked extensively with school-aged students, helping them to achieve their personal best. He strives to help people learn to feel better, bring awareness to themselves, develop their strength of inner self, and to build lifetime resiliency.

Psychologists assess, diagnose, and treat the psychological problems and behavioral dysfunctions resulting from, or related to, physical and mental health. In addition, they play a major role in the promotion of healthy behavior, preventing diseases and improving patients’ quality of life.
