Beyond Talk Therapy.
It’s exhausting! Coping with the same old problems and never getting free of them.
Talking about your problems for insight and support can help you cope. But it won’t set you free. Here’s how to escape this trap:
Your past has left imprints in your mind —
Programming that controls your perceptions, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors — your entire experience of life.
That’s right:
Programming from your past is creating your current experience of life.
(It’s creating your reaction to what you’re reading right now.)
Let’s talk! Book a free consultationYou can change your life experience
— powerfully and efficiently —
by changing the programming.
This isn’t about years of painful excavation. The work is gentle, often surprisingly fast, and the changes are typically lasting.
This is for you if:
You’ve tried therapy and didn’t get the results you were hoping for.
Anxiety or fear are limiting your life in ways you’re tired of accepting.
You suspect your history of trauma is still running your life.
You’ve tried to break stubborn habits and can’t shake them.
Your reactions in relationships feel bigger than the situation warrants — and you can’t help it.
You have trouble feeling calm, relaxed and confident around people, and you know your past has something to do with it.
Something beneath the surface creates emotional friction professionally — in how you relate to colleagues, to authority, to your own ambitions.
There’s a persistent feeling that something is just off and you can’t quite explain it.
You know you’re capable of more than you’re currently living.
You want to show up differently to life. More comfortable in your skin. More peaceful in your mind and nervous system. More confident and accepting in your outlook.
Testimonials
“Every time I go to a restaurant or excursion alone, I am mind-blown at how comfortable I feel. Mark’s treatment is simply amazing. Thank you so much for helping me heal.”
— Client
“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 I had never felt before in my life. Within a few sessions 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. He truly changed my life.”

A Different Kind of Work
My goal isn’t to help you cope. I’m sure you’d prefer transformation. Let’s change the programming — the ground from which your problems emerge.
With mind-body therapies, I help my clients trace their issues back to their source — back to the programming creating them. Then we transform the programming.
The tools I use to help you change the programming come from the field of Energy Psychology.
Energy Psychology is a holistic family of approaches that engage the conscious and subconscious mind, the body, and the subtle energy systems that underlie our mental, emotional, and physical experience. The field is backed by over 200 research studies.
You can use your mind to change your mind’s programming — and you’ll be surprised how easy this actually is. This isn’t hypnosis — you’re fully present and in control throughout. We use intention to make shifts, and you can generally feel this work immediately.
Minds naturally resist change. To lower that resistance, we draw on gentle somatic techniques that make the mind more receptive to the shifts we’re trying to make.
The approaches are simple enough that I’ve used them with young children, some of whom have gone on to use the techniques independently. My clients appreciate having powerful self-help tools to create change between sessions and beyond.
And these approaches are powerful enough that they’re used by trauma responders around the world.
What Actually Happens in a Session
We identify a specific change you’d like to make — then trace it back to the programming at its root and work to shift that programming directly. My work is informed by neuroscience — specifically, what to target in the mind to create lasting change.
Most people are surprised at first by how quickly this happens. But those who work with me come to expect it. A persistent thought, a disturbing memory, an anxious feeling about the future, a belief that’s been holding you back — these can shift noticeably in minutes. You’ll often feel the difference before you leave.
Most people notice a real shift within the first few sessions. Not just understanding themselves better — actually feeling different. Once you’ve gotten relief, we can continue to help you make the changes you desire from a more comfortable, optimistic place.
About Mark Bottinick, LCSW-C
I’ve been doing this work for 30 years. I ran a public mental health clinic specializing in serving individuals with severe, hard-to-treat problems and led a program for people in crisis situations. I’m a licensed clinical social worker and serve as Secretary of the Board of Directors of the Association for Comprehensive Energy Psychology — the field’s leading professional organization.
My clients tell me they find me caring, warm, insightful and very intuitive about how to approach their problems. I work hard to help people see their patterns with acceptance and self-compassion rather than shame — because your patterns make complete sense given your history, and that understanding, held without judgment, turns out to be one of the fastest paths to real change.
Professional Testimonials
“I will always be grateful to Mark Bottinick for teaching me EFT and muscle testing. If we apply these methods, amazing healing can occur at a tremendous pace. Before using EFT in my psychiatric practice, it was as if I was trying to cut through problems with a stone knife — now I use a space age cutting tool. I save patients both time, money, and personal suffering.”
