About the Author
In 2015 Dr. Kozel accepted a position as the Medical Director of the Inpatient MedPsych unit at Hasbro Children's Hospital in Providence, RI. In doing this MedPSych work Dr. Kozel realized she had been treating emotionally-based symptoms in her previous outpatient practice with one hand tied behind her back. In this time of pediatric mental health crisis Dr. Kozel's passion for writing from a pediatrician's viewpoint shifted to what patients' stories teach us about the emotional brain and the basic skill set that all pediatricians, educators and parents need to effectively manage pediatric anxiety and school-avoidant behaviors. Dr. Kozel lives with her husband, Randy, also a physician, in Jamestown RI, has two daughters, and spends as much time as possible on her bike.
