Over the years I have had the opportunity to know many people who have worked with Michael, many clients and some friends too. Almost to a person the reviews Michael receives are stellar. Whenever I am making a referral Michael comes to mind given the trust I have in him as a therapist.

I have known Michael for 38 years both as a business partner and colleague. He has also been a close family friend. Michael is a studied and artful therapist. He has honed his intellectual skill and his deep understanding of human relations over his long professional career. Michael has an innate quality to understand and communicate his perceptions and interpretations of his clients' struggles and their accomplishments. His compassion and acute awareness of issues is exceptional.

I have known Michael Schaal for years. I am also a therapist and  have referred many clients to him for both individual and marriage counseling. Always the feedback I have gotten from those clients was very positive.  I could see how much he helped them to grow, heal and better understand themselves.
