Life can pull us in a hundred different directions, and sometimes it takes slowing down, getting real, and having honest conversations to find our way forward. My approach is straightforward and commpassionate - no judgment, no fluff. I meet you where you are, walk beside you through the challenges, and help you rediscover your strength, clarity, and purpose.

I bring over 11 years of behavioral health leadership experience, including senior clinical executive roles overseeing adolescent and family treatment programs, alongside my work as a psychotherapist and clinical supervisor. I’m dually licensed in California and North Carolina, a BBS-Approved Clinical Supervisor, and an adjunct professor at The Chicago School of Professional Psychology, where I help train the next generation of clinicians.

My clinical approach is grounded in Family Consciousness, a framework I developed through my doctoral research to help individuals and families deepen closeness, heal relational wounds, and reconnect with their sense of purpose and identity. I work with individuals and families navigating life transitions, relationship strain, identity development, and the search for greater self-understanding and connection.

I believe therapy works best as a collaborative, honest, and deeply human process. Whether you’re working through a specific challenge or simply want to feel more like yourself again, I’m here to walk alongside you with clinical expertise and genuine care.

Thanks for stopping by. I believe healing doesn’t have to feel overwhelming or out of reach. If anxiety, depression, trauma, identity stress, or patterns in relationships have left you feeling stuck or exhausted, you’re not alone. Many people seek support when everyday life or past experiences feel heavy, when communication with loved ones breaks down, or when coping feels more reactive than intentional. I work with teens and adults across differences in culture, identity, and life experiences to help you find steadier ground and more meaningful connection in your relationships and your sense of self.

I believe that therapy can have a great impact on one's life. If one is motivated, one can resolve problems, feel better, and address past hardships. I have over thirty years of experience helping clients achieve their goals in a supportive and safe environment. I am fluent in both English and Spanish. I received my undergraduate degree from Stanford University and my Masters of Social Work from Columbia University. I have resided in both the United States and Latin America. I look forward to working with each and every client, in order that they may reach their happiest self possible.

I love working with people and helping them "grow" through the things of life that they "go" through. A quote that I love to share with clients and live by personally is to remember not to focus on your purpose but to live your life purposely. As a military social worker my background is specific to first responders, but most importantly individuals that are learning their new "normal" after traumatic life events that have unexpectedly shaped them.

Hi, I’m Mark Lattimore, a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist (LCAS) in North Carolina. I work with children, teens, adults, and older adults who are navigating challenges such as trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, substance use, and major life transitions. My style is compassionate and collaborative, blending proven approaches like CBT and Motivational Interviewing with creativity, spirituality, and family support when helpful. Whether you are a young person finding your path, a parent strengthening family connections, or an older adult adjusting to new seasons of life, I’m here to walk alongside you.

I am a compassionate, person-centered Clinical Counselor with over 20 years of experience in the fields of mental health and addiction treatment. Throughout my career, I have worked in a variety of settings, including hospitals, military families, inpatient and outpatient programs, schools, and clients' homes, supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds and life experiences.

I believe that every person has the capacity for growth, healing, and positive change. My approach is grounded in empathy, respect, and a non-judgmental attitude, creating a safe space where clients can feel heard, understood, and supported. I work collaboratively with clients, recognizing that they are the experts in their own lives, and helping them build on their strengths to regain a sense of balance, confidence, and well-being.

My goal is to support you on your journey toward meaningful and lasting change while fostering hope, resilience, and personal empowerment.

We all need and deserve a place we can slow down, feel heard, and make sense of what we’re carrying.

Whether you or your child is navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, or simply feeling stuck, therapy can be an opportunity to better understand yourself, heal, and reconnect with—or discover—your strengths.

I truly love what I do. One of the most rewarding parts of being a therapist is getting to know each person’s unique story, understanding what matters most to you, and helping you work toward the future you envision for yourself or your child. I believe you already have strengths, abilities, and resilience within you. My role is to help you uncover those strengths, build on them, and develop the tools and confidence to navigate life with greater clarity and resilience. I want therapy to be a place where you feel comfortable being yourself, where your experiences are heard and valued, and where we can work together toward meaningful change.

I believe healing happens through connection. I work collaboratively with clients, guiding them to understand the roots of their struggles, develop healthier coping skills, and build a life of balance and purpose. I bring authenticity, insight, and gentle honesty into my sessions.
