Written on Jul 10, 2023 after therapy with Mark for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, sleeping disorders, self esteem, coping with life changes, and adhd

If you're lucky enough to be matched with Mark you won't need to switch therapists. I'm not just saying that, but over the years I've had many therapists give up on me, throw me in the too hard basket. Mark does not do that. He will find a way, a challenge doesn't scare him, is compassionate and understanding of a variety of issues. I'm so grateful to have Mark as my therapist and I will be staying on this platform until he's sick of me!

His advice and calming presence are truly indispensable in my life right now.

I would highly recommend Mark for anyone who wants a calm expert on how the brain works!

I have *never* gotten along with therapists, but Mark is the first one to break the mold. Mark is an understanding, thoughtful, no-judgement kind of guy, and I think his wealth of experience contributes greatly to his skills. Thank you, Mark, for all of your help! 10/10

Written on Jun 06, 2021 after therapy with Mark for 2 weeks on issues concerning eating disorders, and self esteem

I was quite specific in what I asked for as wanted solution focused therapy instead of person centred counselling. I was matched with Mark and it was an excellent match. Mark has really delivered what I had asked for in helping me find solutions. Using worksheets etc. Goal setting etc . Mark is very relatable, down to earth and has a good sense of humour. Very relaxed and put me at my ease.

Written on Mar 16, 2021 after therapy with Mark for 9 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, and coping with life changes

I feel very safe sharing with Mark, and love his methodology. I feel supported in my own discoveries, he lets me figure things out on my own and simply guides me through certain things whenever he feels necessary. Sometimes I do feel like he holds back certain things, but I always feel like it's in a "saying this now would not be productive and it'll be better if he figures it out on his own" sort of way. All in all he is a great counselor and I am really happy to have been matched with him.
