Adaptive Therapy

Mark creates a rare space where I truly feel seen, heard, and safe. His attuned, non-judgmental presence has allowed me to process experiences and emotions I’ve carried for years. The sessions are powerful, grounding, and deeply supportive—I always feel held and validated in ways I haven’t experienced before. Highly recommend for anyone seeking compassionate, trauma-informed guidance.

We were lucky when we found Mark as our couple therapist. We have been seeing Mark for a few years, and we can honestly say that the experience has been life-changing. From the very first session, Mark made us feel heard, supported, and understood. He has an incredible ability to create a safe and nonjudgmental space, which allowed us as a couple to navigate what we needed to. What sets Mark apart is their ability to balance empathy and directness. They never rush through sessions but are always mindful of time, making sure that we cover the things that matter most. We always feel respected and empowered to take the tools and strategies learned in therapy and apply them to daily life. Mark was amazing in creating spark and healthy communication in our relationship, which has never been better. Thank you! We highly recommend Mark as a therapist.

I was lucky enough to become a client of Mark in Fort Collins after being referred to him by a friend, and I remained a client throughout my time living in Colorado. Mark helped me in a myriad of ways, and that help was priceless to me. To sum up what could be essays, his guidance helped me become more the person I want to be. Mark helped me bring into view the sources of issues that have plagued me my entire adult life, and he gave me tools that I regularly use to manage them. Avoiding a reveal of too much personal detail, stated broadly, here are some of the issues he helped me with: - Navigating conflicts in my relationship (monogamous heterosexual) - Acknowledging and understanding my emotions (e.g. jealousy, fear, shame, anger), as well as how they affect my mental state and my actions - Understanding complex interpersonal conflicts with friends, and executing thought-out actions to resolve them - Understanding how my past experiences affect my current-day emotions - Channeling my emotions into productive action - Becoming a better partner - Defining my own sense of masculinity - Defining my own values - Building a stronger sense of my own self If you are considering therapy with Mark, know that I give my highest recommendation for his service.

More than once I have said to others, "I've spent years working with all sorts of therapists, but I could never find one who perfectly matched what I needed. I'm so glad I found Mark. He gets me." Mark approaches each session with complete empathy and understanding. I never get the sense that he's pushing me toward one perspective or another. Instead, I feel I can be fully open and help direct our conversations. Mark skillfully uses his background, expertise, and unique perspective to ask questions that guide me to insights about issues I hadn't recognized before. I was going through major life changes and struggles, along with lifelong challenges, when I started working with Mark. After six months of dedicated work together, I've found a much deeper peace with myself. My struggles had always held me back by keeping my focus fixed on the past. But for the first time in a very long time, I now have the clarity and peace to allow myself to look forward.

Mark brings SO much heart and skill to his work with clients. As a fellow LMFT, I’ve confidently referred many clients to Mark over the years and will continue to do so.

I have seen a noticable positive change in myself since starting therapy with Mark. I believe that the resources I have been given and the conversations I have had with Mark are in large parts to thank for this success. It has been worth every penny.
