About

In addition to the formal education and experience I bring to my work... I've been there! I initially became a Personal Trainer because I struggled with fat myself, and learned how to get in shape. I became a Therapist for the same reason-because I've struggled. I know what it is to suffer. And I know what it is to overcome that suffering. I walk with my clients if necessary, until they overcome. This is what makes my life worth living. I learned a long time ago what science now confirms-helping others helps me. My knowledge of change, my problem solving skills, and my intuition are my strongest attributes. When I put them to work helping others, and together we create real, lasting change, I feel good, like I've accomplished something of value, like my service in this life has been of worth.

Hired on Thumbtack

It lasted for 2 hours approximately. He was simply a breakthrough for myself. He is very knowledgeable in his field. Up to date. It was about a fear I had for driving, that lived 6 years with me, since 18. Now I am have made progress towards that goal, and I am in the beginning of doing it. 1 session was all I had with him, and still more to come. He is the right person to hire whenever you have a challenge in your life, especially lasting ones. Advice: Books, Videos, and self helping products, are all fine, but seriously those alone, are never enough. Please invest your money with professional who can intervene. Mark was that person to me. Definitely go for it. Lay it on him, no need to suffer your challenges alone no more, he is the right friend and professional u need in such circumstances. So,quiet on your natural way of thinking, and give it a try yourself. Also the best thing about a coach , is that he is a dynamic person, he is not a static therapist. Thus he offered that actually he be there with me while breaking my driving fears , and getting on the road. So I think that he can be there for u too in ur challenge. Talking with friends and family is not the best option for people, because they will try to help, yet they never know really how to do it, so they end up just either pressuring, or really make u feel pathetic. Of course, he is a professional ,and I was very comfortable talking with him. So in short, his 150$ fee, were money extremely very well spent for me. Considered nothing compared with what he left me with. I still am using his goal and obstacle planning techniques, till now, also in my college masters studies.

Mark E.

I've worked with Mark several times over the course of the past two years, on both personal and professional issues. He's helped me immensely. He seems to be able to see things that I don't, maybe because I'm too close to the problems, maybe because he understands things about people that I don't. I don't know. What I do know is that if it weren't for his help, I'd likely still be stuck in some bad places. I've worked with a number of counselors and coaches in my life and Mark's the best.

"I seek Mark's guidance on a regular basis and have been doing so for more than a decade. He has the ability to quickly identify the heart of a problem, and how the tools I already have can be used to solve it. When I'm stuck I usually turn to my wife first. If we can't figure things out I call Mark."

Thanks Will. I will always be here when you need me.
