Mark’s approach to therapy is based upon a cognitive-behavioral foundation in which one attempts to understand how thinking impacts mood and behavior. From that foundation, Mark incorporates mindfulness-based interventions, self-compassion work, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) – all tailored to fit the needs of each individual client. He is currently accepting new clients at our Poulsbo office location.
