Dr. Kelly Mark, a compassionate psychologist with a PsyD, understands that many individuals are seeking therapy because they or their loved ones feel stuck in a swirling sea of emotions and challenges. This sense of being trapped can be profoundly painful, often isolating individuals in their struggles. Dr. Mark believes this pain reflects our intrinsic human desire for connection—both with others and with God. While we are all designed for relationships, the complexities of being human can create barriers to fulfilling that design. Mental illness often exacerbates this disconnection, leading individuals to feel alone in their suffering. However, Dr. Mark emphasizes that support is always available and that allowing another person to share in one’s vulnerabilities can be incredibly liberating. By creating a safe, professional environment, she invites clients to explore their needs and pursue them in healthy ways. Through her integrative approach, which includes culturally sensitive, trauma-focused, and person-centered techniques, clients learn to navigate their difficult emotions and foster healthy connections. Together, Dr. Mark and her clients celebrate their progress and growth on the path to healing.
