About me
Are you having thoughts and feelings that are self-critical, overwhelming, don’t mesh with your values, or are you procrastinating on your goals? Perhaps you and your partner are struggling in your relationship. I would be happy to help you. Sadness or anger may weigh us down. Trauma is often at the root of all of these, and I will honor your direction in how directly you choose to address the trauma.
I work with clients, both individuals and couples, who struggle with anxiety, depression, and trauma; some have family members with addictions or a severe mental illness. In gaining skill in identifying and evaluating thoughts that often go unnoticed and un-checked, you can improve how you think and how you feel.
The process can be hard, you are worth it, I am so glad you are reaching out!

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Mark Kaufman. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I've worked with Mark for longer than any other therapist that I've tried and I am glad that I've been able to. Mark has been very helpful in working with me on re-framing patterns that I find myself getting caught in and I think he's good at finding a balance of listening to me and noticing when it would be good to ask questions or explore things further. I'd definitely recommend Mark as a therapist.

Mark does a great job of letting you lead and then gently guiding you towards resolutions. I'm really happy I've been working him him for a while now and he doesn't make me feel like I need to share any more or any less than I naturally do. I'd definitely recommend him.

Mark is thoughtful, attentive, analytical, and smart.
He has given me some of the best advice of any experience I’ve had in therapy.
