“Today’s session felt really positive and helpful. I felt listened to, understood, and comfortable being open about what I’m dealing with. I appreciated the support, validation, and practical guidance without feeling judged or rushed. I left the session feeling heard and like we’re moving in the right direction.”

Clients on calmer days, more confidence and coping better.

Mark is a great therapist he helps me see situations from a completely different perspective. He listens without judgment,asks thoughtful questions,and helps me recognize patterns with compassion and clarity. I always leave sessions feeling more understood, grounded, and better equipped to handle life. I’m truly grateful for the positive impact he has had on me and highly recommend him.

Frequently asked questions

What does our first session look like?

I spend the first 10-15 minutes connecting with the family system players, then spend the remainder of the time with the client/child.

How often will you communicate with me as a parent?

Communication can happen often through the "chat system" of Emora and it is heavy checking in in the first 5 minutes of each of the first 5 sessions.

Do you give homework or practice between sessions?

Not every single time but more often than not.

How do you handle confidentiality with teens?

I educate them about what it means and what the boundaries are communicating with the parents unless there are "safety issues" that arise in the sessions. I do not want to blindsided them or the parents with what is appropriate to discuss in progress updates.

How do you decide together when therapy is done?

We discuss specific goals monthly and if the client is making progress towards achieving the goals-example may be a greater than 30% improvement in use of coping skills and greater than 30% improvement in self-ratings of progress from a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being maximum progress. If a client is showing consistent progress over 3-6 months, then the process of after is introduced and all parties will understand what that may look like (termination of the therapy process or reduction of frequency of session).
