Mark Haase

Mark focuses on making it easier to talk about stress, anxiety, mood struggles, and life changes. He offers sessions in English and Spanish and accepts international clients.

Before his current practice he worked in group homes, youth shelters, crisis counseling after Hurricane Katrina, and community mental health programs. That background gives him a broad view of how practical challenges and emotional pain connect.

He has supported people dealing with depression, bipolar disorder, panic, OCD, and ADHD. In sessions he emphasizes a straightforward, accepting stance.

He listens first, then helps people notice thoughts and behaviors that get in the way. He uses Client-Centered ideas, cognitive strategies, and motivational techniques to set manageable goals and track progress.

Mark also draws on Gottman Method ideas when relationship patterns are part of the concern. He helps people name interaction habits and try new ways of relating that reduce conflict and increase understanding.

People often come for help with grief, parenting strain, work stress, eating and sleep problems, or feelings of emptiness and isolation. He pays attention to personality patterns like avoidant or dependent tendencies and supports coping skills for impulsivity and compulsions.

Mark describes therapy as a challenging but rewarding process. He aims to make each step clear, practical, and focused on real change.
