The world needs healing. We all have a role to play.

Nicholas Vitulli is the founder of Mycelia, an organization dedicated to advancing a new model of behavioral healthcare that integrates evidence-informed clinical treatment with contemplative practices, recovery principles, and whole-person wellness.

Nicholas' path to this work is rooted in lived experience. After spending much of his early life navigating trauma, addiction, and recovery, he achieved long-term sobriety and committed his career to helping others heal. Over the past eight years, he has worked with individuals across a broad spectrum—from local treatment populations and correctional settings to executives, entrepreneurs, and ultra-high-net-worth families seeking highly personalized behavioral health support.

His work has been shaped by extensive study and practice in yoga, meditation, breathwork, and Yog-Vedantic philosophy, alongside modern therapeutic approaches including Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, and emerging psychedelic-assisted therapies. Through this combination of clinical collaboration, spiritual practice, and direct experience, Nicholas developed the vision for Mycelia: a residential treatment model that addresses the biological, psychological, social, and spiritual dimensions of healing rather than focusing solely on symptom management.

The result is an approach designed to meet people wherever they are—whether struggling with substance use, trauma, depression, anxiety, or major life transitions—and to help them build sustainable, meaningful lives through individualized care. Nicholas believes recovery is not simply the absence of illness, but the restoration of purpose, connection, and human potential.
