Michal Cohen(She/Her/Hers)

Michal Cohen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Honolulu, Hawaii, and licensed to provide therapy in CA, FL, HI, PA, and UT. She offers support to young adults and adults navigating challenges related to ADHD, anxiety, substance use, and burnout. Michal has a particular passion for working with professional caregivers—including therapists, nurses, and educators—who are struggling with overwhelm, self-doubt, and compassion fatigue. She also frequently supports clients who identify as people-pleasers, helping them break patterns that lead to low self-worth, boundary difficulties, and emotional exhaustion.

Michal’s therapeutic approach is integrative, drawing from a variety of modalities to meet clients where they are. Her work is grounded in Compassionate Inquiry, DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy), Brainspotting, and somatic mindfulness practices that help regulate the nervous system. She tailors each session to support emotional safety, present-moment awareness, and effective coping strategies that empower clients to self-regulate and reconnect with themselves more deeply. For appropriate clients, Michal also offers ketamine-assisted psychotherapy as a tool for accessing deeper insight and nervous system healing.

Michal earned her Master’s degree in Social Work and has over 20 years of clinical experience. Clients often describe her as warm, down-to-earth, and nonjudgmental. She believes in creating a collaborative and compassionate space where clients feel seen and supported as they move toward meaningful change. Many individuals come to her after feeling stuck in other therapy experiences, and find that her trauma-informed, nervous system-centered approach brings clarity and momentum.

Michal is based in Honolulu and offers online telehealth sessions. She works with clients throughout California, Florida, Hawaii, Pennsylvania, and Utah.
