Hello, I'm Mark Muse.
I help you navigate life's challenges and transitions

As a licensed clinical social worker and professional coach with a passion for promoting healing and empowerment, I bring over a decade of diverse professional experience to all of my services. At the heart of my work is a commitment to creating a safe, inclusive, and affirming space where clients can explore their emotions, unravel limiting beliefs, and cultivate a deeper sense of self-awareness and acceptance.

My therapy practice specializes in providing compassionate and affirming therapy to adults navigating the complexities of life, particularly those within the LGBTQIA2S+ community and allies seeking support.

Together, we'll uncover your inherent strengths, tap into your inner wisdom, and develop practical strategies to overcome obstacles and live a life aligned with your values and aspirations.
