For the past twenty five years, I have been a licensed marriage and family therapist, a professor and consultant, serving in many professional arenas including director of a counseling center, clinical supervisor, and therapist for individuals, couples, and families. Working from a Systemic perspective, I treat problems such as relationship issues, family conflicts, depression, ADHD, parenting issues, anxiety/stress, depression, and substance abuse keeping in mind how these stressors impact relationships. My additional expertise is in assisting couples and families to improve their relationships, learn positive coping skills and find the flexibility needed to adapt to family life cycle changes including divorce and blended families.
My therapy style is warm, comfortable and inviting providing a safe place to air problems and restore healthy mental and emotional functioning. My personal challenge is to connect with people in collaborative relationships which inspire and support my clients to access their strengths, create possibilities, and attain their goals. This commitment transcends my work as a therapist, educator, and consultant. I am also the founder of Parent University, a grant program created for school districts to help parents and their children resolve educational and relationship challenges. I have strong beliefs in the importance of constructive and productive parenting skills and believe that parents provide the leadership for all family members to grow and thrive.
I have been a professor at several Universities and a core faulty member at Capella University since 2001, first serving as the Clinical Director of the Counselor Education Program for several years. I have earned several degrees including both a MS and PhD in Marriage and Family Therapy from Nova Southeastern University as well as a MA in Marketing. As a licensed MFT in California, I have been active in the profession for over 25 years in private practice working with individuals, couples and families. My numerous publications and presentations have focused on clinical practice issues and personal coaching. My book Self Coaching, How to S.O.L.V.E. personal and professional problems, reflects my interest in the Solution Focus Brief Therapy model and its use in working with clients. My most recent book At the End of the Day helps the reader connect with their existing strengths and abilities that have become lost in the midst of being problem drenched. By using a Solution focused approach in their problem solving efforts, my clients become able to “remember” their past successes and how to best use their existing abilities and skills to attain their personal goals.
In addition to being a Marriage and Family Therapist, I also have over thirty years of sales, marketing, managerial and motivational experience. My career represents both a clinical and business background working in executive positions of major corporations, owning my own beverage distribution company, and growing a large clinical practice (Counseling Solutions). The blending of these various perspectives and talents has allowed me to become an innovator in developing creative organizational environments. I am also the founder of Solution Focus Consulting which specializes in executive coaching, achieving personal excellence, team building and sales and marketing innovations.
I look forward to working with you in resolving your existing problem issues and helping facilitate the successful attainment of your goals.

I have been seeing Doc Ron since January 2023, and I am incredibly grateful for his support and dedication. He has been a guiding light during a challenging time in my life, especially when I had no other family support to lean on for legal matters, job searches, disability processes, and my recovery from various types of abuse and illnesses.
Doc Ron's compassionate approach and understanding have made a significant difference in my healing journey. I truly appreciate how he listens and empowers me to navigate through difficult times. I can sincerely say I have made significant progress with Doc Ron as my therapist, and I am thankful from the bottom of my heart for everything he has done for me.
If you are looking for a therapist who genuinely cares and is dedicated to helping you heal, I highly recommend Doc Ron. He is a remarkable professional who truly makes a difference in the lives of his clients.

My life has changed and I have gone from social anxiety + untreated adhd, to running to help people in need (eg. Car accidents as long as it safe.) and being ahead of my paperwork and at home tasks. I have built the confidence and capability to pursue my dream of first responder thanks to Dr. Mchnick. He is a very humble man who says the work lies with the individual, but I wouldn't of had any direction without him:) I have also discovered the difference between human habits and things that are best taken up with a primary care provider! I feel with him I have a very healthy life balance

Dr. Muchnick is very knowledgable and has a wealth of experience. He seeks to understand why the client is seeking therapy first. Based on that, he tailors his approach the fit the client's needs. I like that he challenges my ideas and helps me to look at issues from an alternative perspective. This has been a helpful exercise for me to change certain ideas and the behaviors that may come with them. I would highly recommend Dr. Muchnick!
