Welcome To Therapy With Michal Cohen, LCSW

Holistic therapy for adults ready for deep healing, clarity, and transformation.

Life can feel overwhelming, especially when old wounds collide with the pressures of today. If you’re navigating anxiety, trauma, burnout, or a major life transition, you deserve a space where you can slow down, breathe, and be fully seen.

I’m Michal Cohen, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker serving clients in Hawaii, California, Pennsylvania, Florida, Nevada, and Utah. I help high-achieving individuals uncover the deeper patterns shaping their lives so they can move forward with clarity, confidence, and emotional freedom.

My approach is warm, grounded, and direct. I guide clients through deep inner work, including childhood and attachment themes, nervous system regulation, trauma-informed psychotherapy, and integration of psychedelic-assisted therapies when appropriate.

Most clients leave their very first session feeling understood in a way they haven’t experienced before and more hopeful about what’s possible in their healing journey.

What We Will Accomplish Together

In our journey together, my role is to facilitate a strong connection to the internal resources that already exist within you. Holistic and trauma-informed approaches are my specialty, and I’m excited to witness the impact they’ll have on your personal growth and epic healing journey.

Tailored to your needs, we’ll integrate core belief exploration, mindfulness practices, talk therapy, somatic work (think: mind-body connection), and (if you’re open to it) psychedelic journeys. Together, we will find your way through the mud and toward your very own lotus blossom.

I’m really excited that you’re here, and I’m looking forward to the possibility of working together in the future!

A More Personal Look At Who I Am

Therapy is a relationship, and clients often want to know the human behind the credentials. Here are a few things that shape the way I move through the world:

  • I feel recharged by the ocean, especially surfing
  • I am passionate about cannabis, plant medicine, and integrative healing
  • Yoga is my daily grounding ritual
  • I am deeply devoted to my fur babies and was fortunate to share nearly 17 wonderful years with my beloved chihuahua, Solomon.
  • I am a lover of full moons, intuitive practices, and meaningful spiritual moments
  • I am fluent in French and Italian; currently learning Spanish for trips to Mexico
  • I will happily sleep under a down comforter in any climate
  • I believe coffee and tea taste best when someone else makes them
  • I’m known to occasionally “forget” a burpee or two in workout class

This is the fuller picture of me — someone who loves both the science of healing and the soulful, intuitive side of growth. I am excited to learn more about you.
