Psychiatrist, Pathways Life Counseling
Dr. Michael Camillo, M.D.
The Academy arranges for therapy sessions and counseling whenever there is a need. Pathways Life Counseling Center has professionals who help children deal with depression, anger, self-esteem, abuse or any other problem that they are facing. Individual, family, and group therapy services are offered on a daily basis. The Pathways Life Counseling Center is independent of the academy and therefore costs for counseling are not part of Ivy Ridge fees.
