Hello, my name is Mark and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Georgia. I have been working in mental health for twenty years. I have raised five children and have a lot of life experience in addition to my professional training. My Bachelor's Degree is in Religious Studies and my Master's Degree is in Community Mental Health Counseling. I have two years of training in Christian Counseling where I was certified through my church. My counseling approach is one of collaboration. We will work as a team and put our minds together to find solutions. Once the problem is identified we can come up with a set of steps with small goals along the way to achieve. When you achieve a goal we will make a new one to get you another step closer to your end goal and a successful/desired outcome. As part of the work we do I will likely assign homework to complete between sessions and sometimes I will challenge you with a therapeutic task. Part of your job in our work together is to be as open and honest with me as you can. If you are having a bad day I want to know about it. My role as a therapist is to listen to you in a non-judgmental way, provide unconditional support, and be genuine and authentic at all times. Together we will create a plan to tackle problems one by one. We will prioritize what is most urgent and start there. I believe people can/will get better when they work at it regardless of the challenge they face. I use elements from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Adlerian Psychology primarily when helping in addition to Spiritual Therapy for my Christian clients that request it. I am a natural encourager and believe in my client’s ability to improve. Years of experience working with all age groups, in varied settings and diverse populations providing therapy for clients with severe and persistent mental illness and substance use disorders has prepared me to help if given the chance. I look forward to working with you!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia and Florida with years of experience working as a therapist. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their emotions, identify patterns, and develop healthier ways of coping. Whether struggling with emotional dysregulation, anxious attachment, low self-worth, or past trauma, my goal is to help clients build resilience and feel more secure within themselves and their relationships. Clients leave me feeling empowered, understood, with self-awareness. Through a structured yet compassionate approach, I help clients: Develop emotional regulation skills to manage distress and mood swings; understand and reshape relationship patterns to foster healthier connections; strengthen self-worth and boundary-setting to reduce people-pleasing tendencies; learn mindfulness and grounding techniques to reduce anxiety. My counseling style is warm and interactive. By focusing on self-exploration and practical strategies, I guide clients toward greater emotional stability, inner peace, and confidence in their decision-making. My goal is to empower them to feel in control of their emotions, cultivate secure relationships, and break free from patterns that no longer serves. My practice hours are Tuesday and Thursday; 10:00 am - 6 pm; Fridays 10:00 am- 4pm. Please remember that Betterhelp (or sister site!) is not appropriate if you are in crisis or in immediate need of support. In crisis situations, please call 911 or local emergency services. You can also call 1-800-273-TALK (8255) to talk to someone right away!” I look forward to working with you!
