Dr. Mickolus helps you identify what you can change to live the life you want. Sessions focus on understanding the impact of your symptoms on day-to-day functioning and then applying skills to reduce that impact. The practice of new skills is encouraged both during and between sessions. Mental health issues do not need to be barriers to the life you want to live
