Mike Deninger is a “seasoned veteran” of life.
Affectionately referred to simply as Dr. Mike, he now enjoys
sharing his skills, his knowledge of the inner self and his
wisdom through the work of PHOENIX. During his
prestigious career, he has been an elementary and high school
principal; a graduate professor of language and culture; a
director of product development, outreach, and training; a
university dean (13 years); a researcher; and a mental health
therapist. While a dean at Gallaudet University, Dr. Mike
oversaw the construction of a multi-million dollar academic
complex, administered an operating budget of over $30 million,
and managed a staff of more than 400 employees. He has led
groundbreaking training of his own design in cultural diversity
and the process of change. He has also served as a management
consultant to non-profits and educational programs. He is also a
master American Sign Language Interpreter who has worked in the
field of deafness for many years.
Most importantly, Dr. Mike understands how difficult change
can be. He successfully weathered many personal and professional
challenges of his own. He knows what he’s talking about and he
wants to pass on what he knows to others. He is keenly aware of
the process of personal renewal and the success that can come
when one frees the mind, relaxes the will, and cultivates the
inner spirit.
Dr. Mike holds a Bachelor of Arts in English, and a Master of
Science in Special Education from Canisius College. He also
earned a PhD in Special Education Administration (dissertation
with distinction), and a Master of Arts in Mental Health
Counseling (4.0 average) from Gallaudet University. He is a
Licensed Professional Counselor as well as a National Certified
Counselor, and is certified in clinical hypnotherapy by the
National Board for Certified Clinical Hypnotherapists.
Dr. Mike’s interests include acting, writing, and the
development of the physical, intellectual, social, and spiritual
self. He is currently working on a memoir of his life. He is
eager to help you address the challenges you face.
