About Mark Urban
One of the greatest tragedies I witness is when individuals aren't living their lives to the fullest. Trauma, setbacks, addictions, and life's challenges often hinder us from becoming our true selves. Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working with diverse groups, including men, young adults, adolescents, couples and veterans. Whether you're grappling with life's purpose or seeking to overcome obstacles, I'm here to offer my support.
I believe therapy shouldn't be one-size-fits-all. My certifications include trauma therapy with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). I also integrate Narrative Therapy techniques, complemented by my background in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
Whatever challenges you're facing, I'm here to support you. Whether it's current issues or past experiences, I believe the first step is providing a listening ear and validation for your journey. I'm eager to hear your story and accompany you on the path towards creating a more fulfilling life.
Anxiety/Depression
Anxiety and Depression are two of the more common issues that a lot of people experience. There are numerous strategies to explore to alleviate the symptoms but every person is different. There are no one size fits all solutions. Let me personally help you.
​
Addiction
I explore addiction based on what recent evidence is telling us: it is not the addiction but what is underneath. If we don't get to the root of the problem, then the problem will come back. What is beneath a person's addictions.
Wellness
"The absence of sickness is not health," according to Positive Psychologist Sean Achor. There are ways to work on making ourselves stronger and more resilient. From Stoicism to working out and unconventional ways to think about boundaries. Let's work on creating a healthy life.
Couples/Relationships
Couples therapy provides a safe space for partners to address challenges, improve communication, and strengthen their relationship.
Trauma
Trauma can have a lasting impact, but it is possible to heal and move forward. I offer support to individuals dealing with traumatic experiences, helping them on the path to healing and recovery. I have certifications in EMDR and CPT.
Adolescent Therapy
Adolescence can be a turbulent time. I provide a supportive environment for adolescents to address challenges, build resilience, and develop the skills needed for a healthy transition to adulthood.
