There are many times in life when people face situations or have questions about life events and circumstances with which they feel ill-prepared to cope. Life events may prove challenging. They may have thoughts, feelings, or behaviors which they do not understand. They may worry that what is going on is not "normal" and struggle with finding solutions. Often, the solutions people need include some form of coping skills.

In our culture, there are few places to turn to in order to learn basic life skills. Examples of such skills include communication skills, stress management skills, relationships skills and parenting skills. People need help; they solutions, they need answers. Therapy is often a safe place to seek solutions for life's struggles.

Whether you are dealing with a stressful life situation, struggling with parenting issues, suffering from anxiety or depression, or simply want to grow and be the best person you can be, Dr. Sanicola can help. We focus on helping you to identify your needs and goals and providing a way to implement changes and work towards success.
