How I Work
You've tried before. You've done the work, researched, pushed through — and something still isn't moving. That's not a sign to try harder or analyze more. It's a sign that something deeper needs attention. I work with people who are done managing their trauma, patterns, and grief and are ready to move through it. You don't need the perfect words or a complete story. What matters is how it affected you.
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)
A holistic modality in which ketamine is used as a complement to psychotherapy, to help eligible patients experience more frequent breakthroughs and sustained improvement in symptoms. I take the psychotherapy portion of the work; Journey Clinical's medical team supports every medical aspect.
- Ketamine as a complement to psychotherapy
- Offered in partnership with Journey Clinical
- Journey Clinical handles eligibility, prescribing and monitoring
- Preparation, dosing, and integration sessions
PTSD & Complex Trauma
We’ve all experienced trauma of different sizes. What makes the difference in our lives is how it’s affecting you. The effects can look like many things, depression, anxiety, isolation, lack of motivation, lack of self-worth, constant worry, ruminating thoughts, as well as flashbacks of a traumatic event to name a few.
- The right mix of therapies for you
- Childhood, relational, and generational trauma
- Processing without endless retelling
- Less reactivity, overwhelm, and shutdown
Anxiety
High-functioning anxiety, overthinking, and the pressure to keep performing. We work on what is driving the vigilance, not the symptom management you have already tried.
- Chronic worry, racing thoughts, physical tension
- The parts of you that stay switched on
- Coping that does not depend on pushing through
- More range in your day-to-day

About Mark
Mark Muse
LCSW, LICSW
Many people who find me have already tried therapy. They've done the work, pushed through, done the research — and something still isn't shifting. I work with people carrying trauma, patterns that keep showing up, identities shaped by things that happened long before they had words for it. What matters most is not how 'bad' it was. What matters is how it affected you. That's the only measure that counts here.
I specialize in complex trauma using approaches that go deeper than talking alone like Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP). If you understand the patterns but still feel caught in them, that's not failure. It means something deeper needs attention and help to find a path through it.
The practice is fully telehealth and I work with clients in Florida, Kentucky, Oregon, and Washington.
Many people wait longer than they need to before reaching out, so my goal is to make getting started easy. We start with a consultation, which is just a conversation with no pressure. It’s a chance to find out if this is the right fit and answer questions. There is no cost or commitment.
