Mark Wrathall

My communication style

It is important to me that I understand a client's perspective, and so I typically ask a lot of questions. I want to understand a client's experiences and values. I seek to help clients come to their conclusions about what will work for them. I want clients to feel understood without fear of being judged.

My journey to mental healthcare

I grew up in a very diverse area where I had to learn to understand diverse points of view. This led me to a natural inclination towards empathy and wanting to understand why people thought and acted as they did. I am also driven to help those who need the hope they sometimes struggle to find within themselves.

My goals for you

I always seek to understand what a client is expecting out of therapy and how they would like to change as a result of therapy. Once that is generally clear, then I help clients determine how they will know that they have found what they were seeking out of therapy.

Our first session

The first session involves gathering information about the problem that brought the client to therapy, establishing realistic goals, and discussing initial steps toward those goals. We will also discuss the client's comfort with continuing and my thoughts on the course of therapy.
