Ron Migalski, LCSW joins PPH with over 25 years of experience within the field of behavioral health holding several leadership positions during that time.  Ron has worked in the non profit sector, healthcare, as well as for profit sector in a variety of capacities.
As a psychotherapist, I believe connection, authenticity, courage and comfortability are central to beginning a successful therapeutic journey and beginning the path to healing. Every person seeking therapy begins at a different place with different goals, but with a similar destination point. The destination to heal and courage to work through grief, anxiety, depression, or any of life’s transitions are at the core to thriving.
I fundamentally believe that an individualized and empathic approach to treatment is connected to successful outcomes.Beginning where you are at and understanding your struggles with an empathic approach to treatment is a guiding principle for how I begin the therapeutic process. Building an authentic connection, creating hope, light, and strength are central to therapeutic progress.
