Getting to know Michael Zwizanski

Are you having a hard time and in need of someone to listen and help you figure things out? Then now is the time to begin therapy. Hello, I’m Michael Zwizanski, a licensed therapist based in Philadelphia, working with individual clients throughout Pennsylvania. I hold a Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from Thomas Jefferson University and I’ve been honored to support clients through a wide range of personal challenges and life transitions. I offer a safe, affirming space for clients to explore challenges such as anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, family conflict, identity issues, and major life transitions. My practice is anti-racist, sex-positive, LGBTQ+ competent, and gender-affirming. I recognize my privilege as a cisgender, white, male professional and strive to position myself as an equal collaborator in the therapeutic process, fostering mutual respect and growth. My approach integrates attachment-based therapy, parts work, somatic awareness, and trauma-informed care to help clients understand the emotional roots of their struggles and develop healthier ways of relating to themselves and others. I have experience supporting transgender clients through all stages of social, medical, and legal transition, and I am also competent in working with ethically non-monogamous individuals. Before becoming a therapist, I worked in the entertainment industry. Now, I provide therapy to artists, musicians, actors, and entrepreneurs, understanding the unique pressures and creative self-doubt they experience. I help clients navigate both the drive for self-expression and the obstacles that can impede personal growth. Whether you're feeling anxious, stuck, or simply seeking a space to grow, I would be honored to support you on your path.

What should a new client know about working with you?

We will begin by addressing the reason you decided to seek support. What is going on in your life and why is now the time for therapy? From there we will establish goals and together, begin to create a vision of how your life will look as you move closer to reaching those goals. We will take a deep dive into your childhood, looking at relationships with caregivers, family members, friends and those with whom you felt securely attached as you grew up. As we learn more about you, we will work collaboratively to find answers, tools and solutions that will allow you to move forward in your life with a deeper understanding and stronger sense of self.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.

I'm glad Michael knows what it's like to live an artist's life in this society. Saved us about a year of explaining all that.
Michael is patient, an excellent listener, and asks though provoking questions. I’ve really enjoyed having him on my “team”.
Michael has been so amazing and helpful throughout my journey
Considerate, understanding, very easy to talk to. Doesn't use the "therapy voice" and I feel like I'm talking to someone trustworthy.
Michael has been a great asset to my growth and development. I look forward to my sessions with him and always come out feeling heard and supported.
I feel seen and heard by Michael and appreciate his feedback about my experiences. Talking about myself and my feelings is difficult, but he makes me feel more comfortable about it.
It’s extremely difficult to open up to anyone about what I am and have been through…Michael has exceeded my expectations! I leave each session with my own personal goals for myself. One thing I truly appreciate is that Michael will ask ”What can I do to help you in this moment?” If you know; you know! When you are going through it sometimes that’s all you need. I am so thankful for us being placed together!
Michael was very attentive and encouraged me to speak freely. He struck a balance between listening and providing words of acknowledgment. This made me feel heard. He also had the ability, even in our initial session, to piece together certain behaviors with aspects of my personal history. He also helped me set clear goals for our therapy sessions and provided resources to support my progress. Overall, I'd highly recommend Michael as an intuitive and empathetic therapist.

Michael is also holistic, direct, authentic, warm, understanding, open minded and intelligent. I’ve shown so much growth in the past year that I started to have sessions with him. I highly recommend him.
