Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Johnson City, TN

It is my joy in life to help my clients re-discover their true self. We do this together by challenging old paradigms that get us stuck. As we uncover the true self, I will also help you develop new skills for coping as you move from surviving to thriving. I am a Master's level Professional Counselor, comprehensively trained in DBT, IFS, and NARM.

My name is Mark and I have come to this introduction today with the benefit of a professional background which includes: 2 Masters degrees in Counseling and Divinity; TN licensure as a Licensed Professional Counselor, Mental Health Service Provider; United Methodist and Multi-Faith Chaplain; Certifications in Dialectical Behavior and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy modalities; Grief and Bereavement Certifications; 5 yrs of Private Practice in Counseling; 3 yrs in Community MH clinic as a Licensed Professional Counselor

I have over 20 years of experience providing psychotherapy across a wide range of settings, including acute and non-acute mental health, residential treatment, and outpatient care. Throughout my career, I've worked with adults, adolescents, individuals, and couples facing everything from everyday life stressors to more complex emotional and psychological challenges.

While I work with a broad range of concerns, I have particular interests in relationship counseling using the Gottman Method, chronic pain utilizing Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), addiction, borderline personality disorder using DBT, and anxiety-related disorders. I also frequently help clients navigate life transitions, relationship difficulties, parenting, work stress, panic, and general emotional well-being.

One thing that deeply shapes my work is a genuine curiosity about the human condition. I believe every person's story makes sense when we take the time to understand it. Rather than viewing people through the lens of a diagnosis alone, I strive to understand the experiences, relationships, beliefs, and circumstances that have shaped who they are. I see therapy as a collaborative process of exploration, insight, and meaningful change.
