I am a licensed therapist (LMSW) with 10 years of experience working with clients. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, power and control issues, and trauma. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. I have had a lot of great success in couples counseling (see the review below about one couple I helped).
My therapy style was direct and to the point. I believe in treating anyone with respect, compassion, and caring. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral therapy with motivational interviewing. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Marriage/Couples Therapy is my favorite form of therapy as I love helping couples refind the love they have lost.
I believe in direct straightforward therapy. I have 10 years of working with Substance Use Disorder Clients, Domestic Violence, and Trauma. I'm a Veteran of the United States Airforce and have experience working with Veteran Clients.
Client Review-Mark Panasiewicz is truly a life-changing therapist. When my partner and I first sought his help, our marriage was on the verge of collapse with both of us separated and living in different countries. We were stuck in a cycle of constant arguments, miscommunication, and emotional distance. From the very first session, Mark created a safe, judgment-free space that allowed both of us to open up and be vulnerable. We had seen quite a few therapists previously and can confidently say Mark's approach is unique and different than all other therapists we tried. His practical and direct advice helped us uncover the root causes of our conflicts, teaching us how to communicate in a way that fosters understanding and connection rather than division. His strategies and exercises were practical, insightful, and tailored specifically to our needs. Week after week, we began to see significant changes—not just in our relationship but also in how we viewed ourselves and each other. Two months into therapy we moved back in together. Thanks to Mark's guidance, we’ve rebuilt trust, learned to appreciate one another, and rediscovered the love that brought us together in the first place. We owe him more than words can express. If you're looking for someone who can truly make a difference in your relationship, Mark is the therapist to see. He didn’t just save our marriage—he gave us a new foundation to thrive. Thank you, Mark, for everything!

He is a wonderful therapist! Very straightforward with what he believes and is open to hearing how you might view it differently. I love this as i usually struggle with coming up with how i might see it so having an outside view is amazing. I really recommend him
