Mike Swinchoski is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Cambridge, MA specializing in anxiety, anger management, depression, trauma, substance use, and compulsive behaviors.

He draws upon extensive experience from working in community mental health to help people feel safe, normalize their experiences, help them recognize their inner strength, and gently guide them towards healing. He also enjoys supporting clients seeking help for anger management.
Mike pulls from a variety of treatment approaches to flexibly need the needs of each client.
