My name is Paul Muenzmay (Munz-may). I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I received my Masters Degree in Community Psychology from Springfield College campus in Tampa, FL. The idea behind Community Psychology is that there are many people who make decisions about “the client”; sometimes without their knowledge. It is my responsibility as the therapist to interact with each of those people and we function as a team in order to meet “the client”at the point of their need.
After receiving my Masters degree, I also underwent two years of supervision where I met regularly with a Licensed Clinical Supervisor. I presently work full-time at New River Correctional Institution. I have worked in the correctional environment since 2011. In this setting, I have provided services to folks diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder, Depression, Schizophrenia and helped them to adjust to the Correctional Environment. In addition, I have done work at First Step of Sarasota “Choices” program which is a diversionary program for people who would otherwise be in jail because of substance abuse issues.
My approach is interactive. My approach is that we work as a team with the end goal of improving quality of life for you. I believe that Work and Success go hand in hand. One is not coming without the other. Change is hard, but nothing worth having comes easily. It is my intention to work with you, be a part of your support team to help you feel better. I look forward to hearing from you.

Paul is incredibly gifted as a therapist. His guidance is not only wise but also practical. And his heart is golden. He is a Christian therapist through and through with the patience of a saint and the heart and mind of Christ whose Holy Spirit I have come to experience through Paul is our Helper in times of distress. I can't recommend Paul enough. Thanks, Paul! Thanks be to God for you!
