It's very difficult to find a quality dedicated therapist in the current environment of widespread mental health challenges and health crisis, yet Mark is the best therapist I've encountered in years, deeply compassionate, goes the extra mile with a distinctly empathetic, proactive, insightful and positive approach that has helped me to navigate and cope with seemingly insurmountable challenges. I'm blessed to have found Mark and optimistic that he can help me attain the next plateau in my life.

Mark was the best and only therapist I've had who provided support that made a difference! Literally, he got beyond the conversation, but without discounting the importance of talk therapy and working through issues by discussing them. However, he also provided tools and training for relieving problems and behavior on a subconscious level. The effects were not always immediate, but I observed how my responses and the way I handled situations which were previously problematic, gradually changed.

I appreciated Mark’s flexibility and ability to draw on a wide range of methods to explore some the stress and anxiety that popped up in my life recently. He is indeed focused on quick solutions, but also willing to keep trying new tools until results are apparent.

Mark is highly skilled and able to draw from an array of energy-based treatment methods. His approach is very different from traditional talk therapy and it's been incredibly effective for me. I've experienced dramatic changes internally in a relatively short period of time by working with Mark. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

I have coped with a severe anxiety disorder for as long as I can remember, and after just my first session with Mark, I felt a sense of relief that I had never felt before in my life. Within a few sessions with Mark, I felt like I was in control of my anxieties... something that years of different medications, diet changes, medical tests, and therapists didn't make a dent in. The psychotherapy techniques Mark used with me were incredibly effective for my situation. He truly changed my life.

I must confess that I did not have much confidence in Psychotherapy when finally, out of desperation, I relented and sought out treatment. My experience with Mark thus far has been extremely productive. I am currently under treatment for social anxiety and he has been instrumental (to say the least) in my journey to recovery. Mark's primary goal is to heal the human psyche and equip one with tools essential in prevailing over personal tribulation. I heartily recommend him.
