I prefer to have open and natural conversations like you would have with a friend or colleague and avoid the stereotypical "Clinical" relationship which is usually intimidating and off-putting to the person coming in looking for help.
My name is Mark Underwood and I am a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist who specializes in treating Clinical Depression and Anxiety with an easy-to-understand approach and common sense techniques. I also do a lot of Behavioral Therapy to help people understand how to improve their relationships with their partners and children. I am licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist in Alabama, Texas, and Indiana. I am best with people who are "regular folks" who don't want to live in the therapeutic world but just want to understand how to make their life work and feel better.

Are you tired of the mental mess inside of you? I see you struggling with your relationship with your spouse and children. You are yelling all the time and can't seem to stop. You find yourself over reacting to people and situations and you feel embarrassed when that happens. You feel guilty alot too. It almost feels like you are about to get in trouble all the time. You are beginning to become aware of the wounds inside of you and you fear passing those down to your children. You have been to therapy before and it helped some; but now it's time for a fresh approach that addresses the root of the problem.

Though I have specific training in relationship issues (such as marriage, pre-marriage, same-sex unions, parenting, infidelity, and in-law issues), I also work a great deal with individuals. I offer specific forgiveness training that has proven extremely helpful in healing grievances and resentments; and am trained in the use of EMDR. When motivated, there is no limit to the potential for improved relationships, personal fulfillment, and peace. In work with couples, I see great improvement when there is deep motivation. And it is part of my job to foster, and nurture that motivation in each partner.

Couples Counseling Therapists
Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.
How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
