Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor
Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor
Columbia, Maryland
Mark has experience in individual, group, and family counseling. While individual
counseling is great for addressing many issues, group counseling can produce more
profound and rapid change when used effectively; a combination of both methods is
most effective. Mark has experience in a broad range of issues including:
* Addiction and Substance Abuse
* Depression
* Anxiety, Panic Disorder, and Obsessive Compulsions
* Adjustment Problems
* Parenting Issues
* Marital/Couples Therapy
* ADHD
* Self Esteem Issues
* Family Issues
* Parenting Problems/Training
* Communication Skills
* Anger Management
Mark specializes in working with depressed, acting out, dually diagnosed teens and
their families. His job is never boring! He enjoys the challenge of working with these
kids.
Mark’s role in the practice
Mark is a husband, proud father, and therapist. Mark is the Director of both
Congruent Counseling and Integrative Counseling. Mark’s goal when entering the
field of counseling was to help people live a more fulfilled and meaningful life. In
order to do this well, he knew he could not do it alone – he needed other therapists
with a variety of backgrounds to work with the varying difficulties of each different
person or family.
In developing the practice, he felt it was essential to offer both mental health and
substance abuse services in one location. While not everyone needs both services,
those that do need them receive better treatment when they are offered at one
location. However, Mark soon learned that managing the regulations, laws, and
insurance policies of a split system were difficult to provide in one practice. Hence
the existence of two practices under one roof. Ask him and he will be happy to bore
you with discussions of a system in need of repair.
Mark has 16 years experience in both mental health and substance issues counseling.
He holds a master’s degree in counseling psychology. Mark is proud to have served as
a staffer, group leader, and eventually as an associate director of the Adult Health
and Development Program under the tutelage of Dr. Daniel Leviton at the University
of Maryland. He developed his beliefs about human nature and how to help at the
AHDP and while working at Montgomery General Hospital. These two programs
provided rich experience in the needs and wants of people. Mark strives to use this
experience to help people live a more fulfilling life.
