I am looking for people who are seriously about their relationship to God and are trying to live the Christian Faith in both their relationships and their inner world of thoughts and emotions who want to honor Christ through their lives but whom are struggling with one or the other or both. If you are struggling in your walk with Christ, or are being severely impacted by someone else's behaviors, I would like the opportunity to use my 20 years of experience as a Cognitive Behavioral and Family Therapist within the Church to help you improve your spiritual life and relationships.
I have a wealth of experience in helping Believers learn how to manage their thoughts, emotions and behaviors through proven Cognitive Behavioral techniques and improve their marriages and family relationships through Behavioral principles that are completely in line with the practice of Christian Faith and the path given to us through the New Testament.
My style is casual and relaxed and the goal is for you to feel comfortable talking and having a conversation, not a clinical setting that will put you off. My goal is that you would get to the point where you feel you are stopping in to "talk to Mark today" rather than feeling like you "have an appointment to see a therapist".
Call or Mark Underwood now for a free 15 minute consultation - (251) 322-4526

People look for a counselor for two basic reasons; They either don't like what's going on in their head or they don't like their relationships. I am trained and personally experienced in both CBT and Behavioral techniques and look forward to giving you common sense ways to improve either or both problems (as one tends to create the other)
