I am a Apostolic Christian LPC that uses a solution based approach to helping my clients. My counseling experience is in corrections where I used Cognitive Behavior and REBT based theories for counseling and psycho educational programs. I worked with clients in post corrections that had court mandates for anger management, addictions, or relationship counseling. The use of atypical therapies such as Equine Assisted Therapy (communication or relationship)and Martial Arts Therapy (moral restoration) helped facilitate counseling .These same programs were used at a 90 bed addiction recovery facility where I acted as clinical director and lead counselor.
I have an understanding of the need for counseling for a client recovering from a medical condition as a liver transplant recipient in 1997.
I act as mental health, peer support, or chaplain for Southern Law Enforcement critical incident stress debriefing, an agency that helps law enforcement with traumatic events.
I hope to use these life and counseling experiences to help my clients by using platforms and avenues provided by BetterHelp.

Mr. Mark Wendell has helped me tremendously throughout my journey. I’ve only been in session with him for a month and he has helped me find a spiritual connection that helps me keep a positive attitude, he has also helped me with ‘in the moment’ situations with techniques that allow me to control my behavior. Overall Mr. Mark, is by far the best counselor I’ve ever encountered. Thank you so much BetterHelp and Mr. Mark!

This was my first form of therapy and wasn’t sure what to expect. Mark made these sessions feel safe. I can genuinely say that his feedback and insight was incredibly practical and useful. I would describe him as authentic, humble, and empathetic. Grateful to have been paired with him. Thank you Mark!

He is very knowledgeable, compassionate and pragmatic. I could t ask for a therapist who understands my needs better. His solutions are practical and he really helps guide me on how to implement them.
Written on Feb 14, 2022 after therapy with Mark for 2 months on issues concerning self esteem, relationship issues, and family conflicts
Mark is an excellent therapist. He takes the time to listen to you and provide insight into what you are going through. I am very impressed on how he is able to understand my situation and provide recommendations and suggestions on areas to focus on for improving. Not only do we walk and talk through scenarios, but he has supporting exercises that will help me to understand more clearly in my improvement. In my past I have spoken to several different therapists, but looking back I do not believe that they have gotten to the root of what I need to work on until now. I would highly recommend Mark to anyone.

I started my first therapy session with Mark on 8/6/2021. Before I met Mark I was lost, depressed, unmotivated, lacked discipline, and wasn't looking forward to everyday. I went from being an amazing medical student to a subpar medical student because I left my toxic ex girlfriend and that void consumed me. I lost my work ethic and discipline. I lost hope in women. I was unmotivated to do anything. Then I met Mark on 8/6/2021. Mark Wendell is heaven sent. I am a Muslim and Mark is a Christian. Despite that difference, he understood me better than anyone I ever met. That is because Mark is the same person I am. He lived and understood everything I was going through. We met every 2 weeks and it took me 5 sessions and listening to the advice Mark gave me for me to slowly get better. I began doing better in school. I learned to be happy again on my own. And I found a woman who shared the same values and morals as I did. Mark told me to stay true to myself and fish in the right pond and I will find the right woman. And after 5 sessions I found that woman. I just finished my 7th and final session with Mark to tell him I am about to marry this righteous and wholesome woman all thanks to the help that he gave me. Like I said, this man is heaven sent. It is okay to get help especially when the people helping you can understand you better than you can. This man changed my life. Anyone that is willing to listen and follow his instructions will also be happy with the results. Thank you Mark. Thank you for being a great mentor and a great friend. I always be grateful for you.

Mr. Mark is very skilled at listening to my specific concerns, he validate my feelings, gives me life experience wisdom and directs me to practical solutions/techniques to overcome/progress within a task. I love that he incorporates scripture as the foundation which brings me a lot of peace and comfort. He’s skilled in a manner that I am able to see myself (strengths, flaws and all), which inspires me to become a better version of myself after each session. I am grateful for him being placed in my life for such a time as this!

I think Mark is a excellent counselor although we’ve only had a few sessions. It’s mostly been me talking and him listening but that’s been helpful to get stuff off my chest. Not being able to meet in person unfortunately is an easy out for me too lose contact and initiative to move forward. Not his fault but anxiety and depression stopped me from doing a lot if it wasn’t for my close family coming to check on me sometimes I Don’t know what I would do

Mark is extremely observant and provides the professional, third-party clear perspective needed to see the forest for the trees. He helped me tackle and dislodge my long-held anxiety by providing the straight talk and empathy I needed to help myself. I highly recommend Mark for his straightforward advice and supportive, affable manner.
