Mark J. Miceli, EdD, MSW

Mark Miceli, LCSW is the founder of Horizon West Counseling, where he provides psychotherapy to adults navigating anxiety, burnout, life transitions, and relationship challenges. He specializes in working with busy professionals who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected despite outward success. Before entering clinical practice, Mark spent over two decades in higher education as a leader and educator. This experience gives him a deep understanding of performance-driven environments, chronic stress, and the internal pressure many professionals carry. He brings this perspective into the therapy room, blending practical insight with evidence-based clinical care. Mark’s approach is relational, trauma-informed, and grounded in therapies such as CBT, ACT, and attachment-based work. He helps clients explore how past experiences shape current patterns while developing tools for greater clarity, resilience, and alignment with their values.
