Michael Giordano, LCSW
Psychotherapist
Washington DC
I help you identify and understand the thoughts and beliefs you have about yourself and the world, especially the ones that cause you internal, emotional harm. Together, we then find ways to relate to yourself and the world differently, shifting negative beliefs into ones that are self-supportive and self-compassionate. This includes somatic approaches, looking at your past, and integrating negative experiences so they no longer cause you trouble.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and Certified Sex Therapist (CST) located in Dupont Circle, Washington, DC, I provide compassionate and affirming psychotherapy for individuals, couples, and people in non-monogamous family structures. I have specialized experience helping people who do not feel like they fit in – those who’ve been marginalized or dismissed based on their identities or experiences.
I am quite familiar with the use of psychedelics in the therapeutic setting. I have training from the Center for Optimal Living on using psychedelics to treat substance use issues, as well as workshops from other training providers. Additionally, I have contracted as a ketamine psychotherapist with Field Trip. I have helped many clients integrate psychedelic experiences as well.
