Getting to know Michael Ermalinski
Great to meet you! My name is Michael Ermalinski, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 35 years of experience working with individuals from diverse backgrounds. I have extensive training in my areas of practice and follow all ethical guidelines for evidence-based care. I truly love what I do, approaching my work with warmth, energy, and enthusiasm.
I provide a safe, nonjudgmental environment where you can feel comfortable exploring challenges, building insight, and working toward meaningful goals. My approach is collaborative and tailored to each individual’s needs, with a focus on helping you create practical, sustainable changes in your life.
I work primarily with individuals seeking treatment for anxiety disorders, panic disorder, and depressive or bipolar disorders. I specialize in helping those newly diagnosed with bipolar disorder develop effective treatment strategies and remain engaged in their recovery process. I also have a strong track record of success with individuals who may be hesitant to start therapy or have found it difficult to connect with a therapist in the past.
When we work together, you can expect to be heard, respected, and understood. From our first session, I will take the time to conduct a thorough assessment—not just to gather important information, but to begin building a positive, supportive relationship. Sessions are a space where you can speak openly without fear of judgment. You’re welcome to prepare notes before sessions if that helps you feel more comfortable and organized.
Clients often tell me they appreciate my authenticity, sense of humor, and practical approach to problem-solving. My goal is to help you feel encouraged and empowered, even when navigating difficult moments. I ask only that you bring your genuine self to our sessions and give your best effort—perfection is never expected.
I believe therapy is a partnership, and I look forward to walking alongside you as you work toward your goals.

More information on payments and coverage
After scheduling your appointment through Zocdoc, you will receive a follow-up email from Tava with instructions to complete the necessary registration in our patient portal, including insurance and payment details. Placing a credit card on file is required to process insurance billing and any applicable deductible-related charges. Please complete your registration within 24 hours to ensure a smooth check-in and avoid delays in accessing care. If registration is not completed in time, we may not be able to verify your insurance coverage, which could result in unexpected out-of-pocket costs for your visit. Per our office policies, a fee may be charged for missed appointments or late cancellations.
