"What happens when we cannot show the most vulnerable and truthful parts of ourselves? Suffering. Fear. Frustration. Incongruence. Do you need a space where these parts can be held, allowing you to experience more relief in your body? My goal is to guide you in the discovery and celebration of your authentic self. We live in a world where a right way of being is imposed. Often that entails communicating, dressing, and moving in one particular way. In other words, we are asked to act in ways that align the with dominant heterosexual, cis-gender, White, English-speaking culture."

"The PWCB is a center dedicated to the prevention, support, and treatment of maternal and family mental health challenges. The PWCB consists of five licensed perinatal mental health specialists, graduate level interns, a reproductive psychiatrist, acupuncturist, naturopath, pelvic floor PT, infant/child sleep specialist, and lactation consultant all of whom are speciality trained in reproductive and perinatal mental health through PSI."

"Many of us feel caged and confused in this world. We don't know who we are or how we want to be. We feel insecure and lost. We feel alone and scared in rooms full of people. Disliking our bodies and minds, we chase after relief that leads to emptiness. Seeking safety and expectability, we attempt to control our emotional and physical environments. In these enclosures, we are separate from ourselves and others--angry, judgmental, shutdown or shut-out. Psychotherapy enables us to uncover and heal the wounds and traumas that imprison us, liberating our innate ability to thrive and connect."

"Therapy is such a unique and personal journey, therefore I practice an integrative and individualized style of therapy to best address your specific needs. My therapeutic style can be described as interactive, empathetic, nonjudgmental and gently challenging. I focus on helping to build on client's strengths while also directing attention to those behaviors and thoughts that hold people back from achieving their goals and living a more authentic life. I have particular expertise with eating disorders, addictions, depression, anxiety, highly sensitive temperament, self-esteem issues, and relationship issues."

"If you want to feel happier, more productive and energized; if you wish to forgive/forget painful events and move on with your life, I invite you to call and make an appointment. I would like to hear your life story and discover, together, your strengths and the skills that can help you cope with challenges and find meaning in your daily life. In therapy you can try a more empowering way to talk to yourself and more assertive ways to communicate with other people, which often leads to more rewarding interpersonal relationships and a stronger sense of self-confidence."

"Do you ever find yourself frustrated with your relationships and connections with others, especially people close to you like family and loved ones? Have you noticed that you keep dating the same type of person and you're ready to break the cycle? Are you ready to find recovery for you and your relationships and you're not sure how to start the healing process? Healing begins in relationship, and through this dynamic process of therapy based in the therapeutic connection, you too can find peace and happiness with yourself and others. "

"I pride myself in counseling the whole person instead of narrowly treating issues. Whatever issues or symptoms are presented, they are connected in meaningful ways to the individual. Greater self awareness leads to more effective self-regulation of moods and behavior. Depth counseling is reaching for the root of one's pain as opposed to snipping at the outer branches or leaves. I liken counseling to detective work in which my clients and I identify clues and follow the trail of symptoms back to the source of original pain, trauma and grief. From there, deep healing is possible."

"I offer mentorship and therapeutic services for people of all ages. I meet with individuals in a variety of locations, from a tea house to a confidential office setting. I conveniently meet with families in their own homes. I can offer a variety of therapeutic services for individuals that need to address specific issues that are adversely affecting one's education, relationships, or family. I have specific experience working with difficult transitions, bereavement, addiction, severe and moderate mental health issues, family systems, relationships, and dreams."

"My passion is using creativity to support individuals in healing from trauma and increasing their overall well-being. I provide a safe, supportive environment and incorporate a range of modalities from a holistic, trauma-informed and mindfulness-based approach. Through the creative art process, individuals can authentically connect with themselves and learn to process a range of emotions in a healthy way. "

"*** ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS *** "Without therapists, we are very unreliable narrators of our own stories" (Russian Doll, 2019). In it's simplest form this is the goal for talk-therapy: sharing your life and having someone listen who might even be skilled enough to help narrate your very own unique story. As a clinician, my goal is to walk alongside you and support you to remove self, familial and societal limitations that are preventing you from living an effective and fulfilled life. My approach blends both Western and Eastern Psychology; I integrate mindfulness and meditation into my sessions. "

"I specialize in working with youth, adults, couples & families with Asperger's Syndrome, Autism Spectrum Disorder & Social Communication Disorders. A distinct specialty of mine is sexuality & gender dysphoria in ASD. I also work with teens & adults with social, emotional, relationship & academic struggles. I was trained at Columbia University School of Social Work & New York City's Asperger Center for Education. I received my B.A. from Davidson College. I have run therapeutic wilderness camps, programs & social skills groups in San Francisco & New York City. Recently, I worked as a therapist at the Temple Grandin School for 3 years."

"To STRIVE is to make great efforts to achieve or obtain something. Psychotherapy is the process that encourages, facilitates, challenges, and guides those efforts to achieve personal goals, get relief, and find recovery from painful psychological and relationship difficulties. Therapy is hard and rewarding work. It is a profound collaboration between you and your therapist, and success, forged by a strong alliance in this therapeutic relationship. Simply put, it is optimal to work with someone who is a good fit for you, and we endeavor to make that connection within the Strive Psychotherapy Group."

"Let me be your life raft, light and ladder to bring you out of the darkness that you are in.  Imagine, having control over your life and owning the tools you need to deal with the challenges that have come your way. If you are struggling with relationships, PTSD, anxiety, trauma, or have a loved one on the spectrum, I have had the unique fortune to help people in all of these areas and look forward to helping you. Imagine what it would be like to be happy with yourself, your life and those around you. Intimacy won't be a scary word but a new definition of being seen and an empowered way of seeing your yourself (In 2 Me See)."

"During this time, being overwhelmed and living with so much uncertainty makes managing daily life (work, homeschooling, relationships, household) a huge challenge. Connecting with someone outside your family can help you manage overwhelming emotions, triggers, stress, and gain much-needed clarity. Carve out 20 mins for a free consultation. "

"We all want to feel a sense of satisfaction, fulfillment and love in our lives. And yet, it can be difficult to see and make the changes we are desperately longing for. You've been struggling for some time now and can't pinpoint what exactly is wrong. In general, you feel burnt out, grumpy, and stressed out. You find that it is harder and harder to stay motivated and engaged with the life you are living. Even though "everything looks good from the outside," you are left unfulfilled and wanting more. You catch yourself thinking things like: "I work so hard and accomplished so much, yet don't feel satisfied." "

"My psychotherapy approach starts with cultivating therapeutic relationships characterized by empathic respectful support in pursuit of thoughtful, practical, collaborative solutions to problems in living. "

"Welcome! You can live the life you want! Therapy is not about living a stress-free life, but rather learning how to navigate that stress with confidence and skill. Together we will uncover what is holding you back and move in the direction of your happiness and goals. Are you challenged by a life transition? Feeling stuck in recurring patterns? Realizing you aren't living up to your potential, but unsure how to create lasting, positive change? Are you feeling anxious, depressed, overwhelmed, unclear about what to do next or how to handle a situation? Please call and let me help."

"Mark holds to the idea that most people just get stuck somewhere in the labyrinth of life and are smart enough continue their path once they get unstuck. His years of dedication have continued to be supported by his deep faith in the inherent goodness and nearly infinite adaptability of all people once they realize that what they "think" is not necessarily the "truth". Getting unstuck is far easier than trying to fix something that is not broken in the first place. "

"As an integrative psychotherapist, I have an engaged, relational approach grounded in trauma, attachment, mindfulness, and social justice counseling. In working with you I am direct and proactive with the goal to create an environment in which you can become who you truly are. Together we will draw on your strengths to guide us through any areas you feel "stuck" and begin to make shifts. Our work together includes looking at your personal, family and cultural history, and the beliefs you hold about yourself and the world. We also may incorporate your dreams, memories or paying attention to the language expressed in your body. "
