Mark G Koch, LMFT

Mark G Koch, LMFT

Psychotherapist
CA
Hello, You may have often heard some people say that therapy is only for those with a mental illness or who are "crazy." I'm Mark G. Koch and have been a licensed Marriage Family Therapist since 1996. I can honestly tell you that those types of statements are a myth. Everyone has a view of how the world works, and we use the tools we have to deal with our issues, but occasionally there comes a time when a problem arises that we have no answer to. At this point, we become "stuck." You can say that these are the cards life has dealt you and do nothing, or you can get help to learn new ways to see your world and use new tools to change your world. You have the strength and the power, and somewhere in your mind, you have the answers. My job is to help you find them and to show you how to use them so that you can begin to move toward whatever your goals are for your world. I earned my Master’s in Clinical Psychology from John F. Kennedy University. I have had the opportunity to work in a variety of settings, including private practice, psychiatric hospitals, County Mental Health, non-profit organizations, and most recently utilizing remote virtual therapy. I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, couples, families, and groups. My expertise is in Obsessive Compulsive Disorders and other Anxiety Disorders, along with Depression, but I also have had a multitude of experience with Personality Disorders, Bipolar Disorders, and with dual diagnosis. A dual diagnosis is when a person has a mental health issue such as depression and is also dealing with a drug/alcohol issue. Having said all of this, I have had a great amount of success dealing with adolescents, those having relationship issues, and communication between couples. I look forward to hearing from you.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I seem to have a different way of looking at someone's issues, for often I have been able to listen to and observe what many other clinicians may miss. Most people feel that they are alone in their issues and often feel embarrassed in talking about certain things because they may be the only person who is dealing with that issue. What a person can learn from me, is that no matter how strange your issue or thoughts may be, there are many others with the same issue, feeling the same way you are. We all are different, but in some ways we are all the same. I utilize analogies and stories that pertain to the persons life, so that they can understand their issue, without having to hear a lot of "big psych words". I don't like big psych words.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
