Mark Houston

Mark Houston, LCSW, understands that reaching out for therapy can be a daunting step. Many people contemplate this decision for quite some time, often hoping their challenges will resolve on their own. Yet, feelings of sadness can seep into everyday life, impacting relationships and experiences that once brought joy. Friends and family may not fully grasp the scope of what someone is feeling, leading to reluctance in seeking their support. Mark recognizes the common struggles of excessive worry and identity exploration that his clients face. Utilizing online therapy, he aims to make counseling more accessible. He draws upon cognitive, psychodynamic, and analytic techniques, collaborating with clients at their own pace to address both short-term and long-term goals. Specializing in trauma and LGBTQ+ issues, he creates a safe and welcoming space for individuals to delve into their experiences. Mark understands that discussing past traumas or identity challenges can be intimidating; however, he assures his clients that they will navigate these paths together, ready to support them when they're prepared to take that step.
