Getting to know Mark Duarte

Hello. I am Mark Duarte, MSW, LCSW 8636, a licensed clinical social worker since April 1981. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from California State University, Fresno. My broad experience with adult individuals, couples, and groups since January 1975 has been fulfilling. I believe human experience is rich and awe-inspiring—in the present, globally, and in all the details of our lives. Mindful living cultivates discernment and gratitude. I strive to provide honest, clear encouragement in response to daily challenges. I look forward to our conversations and will encourage a positive outlook to turn perceived obstacles into opportunities. My approach I utilize dialectical behavioral therapy techniques with an existential present focus. I relate as clearly as needed to encourage positive change. My focus I use a client-centered approach. Conversations imply exchanging information between responsible adults to achieve positive outcomes in problem-solving. Increasing compassion and capacity for happiness are existential goals. My communication style I am available for video conversations with a small number of individuals or couples so I can devote myself fully to your concerns without judgmental bias. I practice compassion and encourage it. I start where the individual is and subscribe to the golden rule. I strive for clear, authentic communication. My journey to mental healthcare My family is from two unique cultures, Mexican and German. My upbringing witnessed acculturation, joys, traumas, tragedy, and all the stuff in between. I have always been curious about how people act and interact. I am curious about how to solve problems, which I find useful. I like being helpful and encouraging. I have seen that the most resilient individuals cultivate a positive outlook. My attitude is just about the only thing I control. I practice mindfulness at the center. I am grateful for this present moment.
