MICHAEL VISCIDY, LCSW
Therapist
I’m a licensed clinical social worker and addiction counselor with advanced certification in ketamine-assisted psychotherapy. I specialize in working with adults navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, and substance use concerns.
​
My approach is integrative, collaborative, and grounded in both evidence-based practices and deep respect for each client’s inner wisdom. I draw from cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and trauma-informed care, while also weaving in psychodynamic and existential perspectives. At the core of my work is a commitment to creating a space where clients can explore, heal, and grow with honesty and compassion.
​
I believe change happens when we understand the patterns that shape us, stay curious about our experiences, and feel supported in taking new steps. Whether through traditional talk therapy or psychedelic-assisted work, my focus is on helping clients reconnect with their sense of agency, resilience, and possibility.
