Dr. Mike Axelrod provides compassionate, research-informed care for children, adolescents, adults, and families. Using a person- and family-centered approach, treatment integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients build practical skills for managing emotions, improving relationships, and navigating life’s challenges with confidence. The focus is on empowering clients and families with tools that promote resilience, flexibility, and long-term success both at home and in everyday life.
Services address a wide range of emotional, behavioral, developmental, and adjustment concerns,
including:
- Anxiety disorders
- Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
- Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
- Behavioral challenges and emotional regulation difficulties
- School-related concerns and academic stress

Specialized support is also available for young children and their caregivers through a behavioral
pediatric framework. Parents are guided in addressing common but potentially disruptive childhood
concerns such as noncompliance, tantrums, toileting difficulties, sleep problems, picky eating, and
childhood fears. Services emphasize collaborative problem-solving, parent coaching, and skill
development to help families create positive, lasting change.
