Mark is an excellent therapist. I've found him to be timely, professional, an extremely good listener, and regularly offers me quality insights or perspectives to consider that are helpful and applicable in my life. Compared with some of my past therapists, Mark can be a bit more cerebral and philosophical, so he might not be the perfect match for everyone. But I find him to be an excellent match for me, and finding out if he's a good match for you is certainly worth your time.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
