People with ADHD navigate the world differently (Barkley, 2019; Mooney, 2024), including the medical system (Rubia, 2018). That’s where Dr. Miccio’s structure for care management comes into play.

Dr. Miccio understands how overwhelming it can be to receive a serious medical diagnosis.
She will help you identify your needs (Mohammed, 2021; Pedersen, 2024; Song, 2021) so you have a roadmap for care that is easy to navigate. Every step along the way, you will receive personalized guidance in managing healthcare needs.
Dr. Miccio is particularly skilled in supporting people facing upcoming surgeries, cancer treatment, recovery and life afterwards, as well as chronic disease care.
Why?
There are unique challenges that people with ADHD, TBIs, and/or Executive Dysfunction face (Dalsgaard, 2015; Mostert, 2015). When it comes to medical care, Dr. Miccio’s holistic approach includes skills-based sessions to empower people for success (Katzman, 2022). When people understand how their executive & cognitive function impacts their wellbeing, they are better able to advocate for their needs within the medical system.
