Getting to know Mark Best

*Mindful Therapy Group requires a credit card to be added to your account before your intake appointment with this Provider. After you book an appointment, a representative will call you to get your card information and confirm your appointment details.* When life brings stress, I help clients recognize their power to grow and thrive. I assist adolescents and adults in changing their relationship to thoughts and emotions, developing a stronger sense of self, and establishing core values. I advocate for the use of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction to manage stress. I have additional training in Narrative Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. I have lived in the Portland metro area since 2009 and enjoy hiking, cycling, and the outdoors. I am deeply committed to my yoga practice and spirituality, which I incorporate into my therapeutic interventions when appropriate. I stand for restorative justice and harm reduction, believing that all people deserve unconditional positive regard. My values are Authenticity, Compassion, Dignity, Inclusion, Respect, Spirituality, Service, and Wisdom.
