Greetings, my name is Michael Skoda, founder and Executive Director of The Dreaming Tree Counseling Center, where we are are helping individuals of all walks of life rebuild their roots and foundations to experience success in their lives. I will be working relationally with you, which means that I have an approach of providing practical solutions and walking with you in your journey of self-improvement every step of the way.

I have specific mastery of couples/marital issues, EMDR, addiction and ADHD issues, and Obsessive Compulsive Disorders.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
