Mark Virostek, LMHC — Therapist in Washington

Hi there, I'm Mark!

I work in behavioral health supporting adults in the Gay Community with depression, substance use, PTSD, bipolar depression, anxiety, and stress management. I create a compassionate space where you can explore challenges and work toward meaningful change.

My focus

I work with adults treating issues with the gay community, depression, substance use, PTSD, bipolar depression, anxiety, stress management, psychosis, life transitions, mood disorders, sexual abuse, and sexual addiction.

My approach

I use a range of treatment modalities to facilitate new awareness and help resolve the issues in your life, including Psychoanalytic Therapy, Gestalt therapy, Reality Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy, Humanistic Therapy, CBT, REBT, SFBT, and Person-Centered Therapy.

My communication style

I'm very person-centered, meeting people where they are with compassionate, unconditional positive regard. I look at the whole person and the reality of their situation, offering new awareness of your existence and how to make better choices to enhance your thinking, feelings, and behaviors.

My journey to mental healthcare

My path in behavioral health has been shaped by a deep commitment to supporting individuals through their most challenging moments. I believe in the power of compassionate connection and evidence-based practice to create lasting change.

My goals for you

We'll work collaboratively to identify your goals and the steps needed to reach them. I'll help you build awareness, develop practical skills, and make choices that align with the life you want to create.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll talk about what brings you to therapy, your goals, and any immediate concerns. I'll explain how we can work together and answer your questions. My aim is for you to feel heard, understood, and hopeful about the work ahead.
