Getting to know Mikal Kalus

I have experience working in both school and clinical settings, supporting children, adolescents, and young adults through times of stress, transition, and uncertainty. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, school-related challenges, family stress, behavioral concerns, and social difficulties, creating a warm and supportive space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I approach each person with compassion, curiosity, and respect for their unique experiences. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), DBT-informed techniques, and trauma-informed care to tailor treatment to each client's individual needs. My style is collaborative and strengths-based, helping young people and families build coping skills, confidence, and resilience as they move through life's challenges together.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

When you are ready to get started, schedule an initial assessment visit (intake) through Zocdoc. After you book an appointment, a care coordinator will reach out to review your method of payment and/or insurance number and answer any initial questions you may have before our first visit.
