Mark Karpel

Dr. Mark Karpel, a seasoned psychologist with a PhD and a graduate of the University of Massachusetts, brings a wealth of experience to his practice, focusing on adults and elders. He offers a compassionate approach to therapy for all couples—regardless of marital status, sexual orientation, or relationship stage—whether they are premarital, married, or navigating a divorce. Dr. Karpel actively collaborates with couples to explore areas of dissatisfaction, identify obstacles to change, and discover effective strategies for overcoming them. By conducting brief evaluations, he efficiently assesses whether treatment is indicated while pinpointing key problems, strengths, and promising directions for progress. His goal is to achieve the shortest course of treatment that meets the clients' objectives. For couples in acute crisis, he prioritizes intensive initial sessions to stabilize the situation effectively. Understanding that couples come to therapy not only with challenges but also with inherent strengths, Dr. Karpel empowers them to recognize and leverage these resources in the pursuit of their goals. In addition to couples therapy, he provides individual treatment and utilizes EMDR for addressing various issues, including sexual and internet addictions, gambling, compulsive shopping, and patterns of unhealthy relationships.
