Mark Muse, LCSW, LICSW
Accepting new clientsAbout Mark
I'm a licensed therapist (LCSW) with over 11 years of experience helping people heal, regroup, and move forward. My background spans clinical social work, trauma treatment (IFS and EMDR), LGBTQIA+ support, gender-affirming care, holistic health, teaching, and even IT work before therapy. That mix matters—it means I understand how systems work, how people break under pressure, and how to rebuild with intention.
Who this is for:
I specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ individuals and allies who are carrying too much—whether it's trauma, burnout, political exhaustion, or just being stuck. If you're tired of white-knuckling your way through and want real support that meets you where you are, we are here for you.
My approach:
No fluff, no judgment. I use proven trauma-focused methods (IFS, EMDR). I bring all of my experience across multiple careers with me to support you with compassion, connection, and authenticity.
At the end of the day, it's about the right support for you. Whether I'm the right fit for you or not, get support where it makes sense for you.
