Mark Mittag

My communication style

I am direct but gentle in my communication and invite clients to do the same. I take special care to address communication expectations early in the process. It is safe for my clients to ask questions and share concerns.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey toward becoming a counselor is rooted in my own early challenges and seeing others I cared about struggle. My desire to help others defy the odds stacked against them continues to drive my joy in practice.

My goals for you

I use the client's own words for our goals and review and adjust as we work through issues. This highlights incremental goals met and reveals next steps for treatment. I look forward to learning what you would like to gain from starting counseling.

Our first session

Our first session is an opportunity to get to know one another. We'll discuss your background and what brings you to therapy. I will go over what to expect from me and give you permission to be open and direct with questions or concerns. My goal is to set you at ease so we can focus on your needs.
