Dr. Bantel has been providing therapy services in AZ for over a decade.  He completed his Doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology at the APA accredited Arizona School of Professional Psychology, Argosy University – Phoenix and his APA accredited internship at Casa Pacifica Centers for Children and Families in Camarillo CA.  His training and experience have included work in community mental health settings, outpatient substance abuse programs, school settings, crisis work, hospital settings, residential settings, and private practices. 

​

Dr. Bantel is experienced in working with individuals from diverse backgrounds and specializes in working with children, adolescents, and men’s mental health issues.  He has worked with clients to find relief from depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, behavioral issues, educational issues, substance use, and relationship/family conflicts.  He utilizes an eclectic approach of evidenced-based interventions, including Play Therapy, Sandtray Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Emotion Focused therapy.

 

When he is not providing therapy services to clients, Dr. Bantel enjoys spending time with his family, cooking, BBQing, kayaking, fly fishing, and has recently begun off-roading with friends.  

I have been providing therapy services in Arizona for over seven years. I completed my Masters Degree in Counseling at Ottawa University.  My training and experience have included work in community health settings, crisis work, school settings, hospital settings, in home settings with family preservation, and in private practice. 

       I have been blessed to work with a diverse population from infants to the elderly, which includes helping individuals, teens, couples, veterans, and group work. I have training and experience in working with domestic violence, substance abuse, suicide prevention, crisis, trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, and marital and family issues. 

    I tend to utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Family Systems Therapy but find it important to let the client's needs guide us in the right direction and what will be most useful in providing positive change.

   When not providing therapy, I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, and hiking. I am also a football fanatic.
