He was really good listening and helping me explain and give me tools of how I can improve. I took away from the session that will help me continue moving forward. He was very kind and helpful. He acts professional and will help you in anyway that you need.

I was lucky enough to find Dr. Mark through a friend's recommendation. From the very first consultation, up until now I have had such positive experiences with him from very shallow topics to several deep retrospections. His work is great and keeps many off the edge.

Mark is very real, and extremely kind without being a pushover. He called me as soon as I made my appt online. He explained his approach and asked questions and he listened thoroughly to make sure I was comfortable etc. I only saw him once so far but that is enough to know I am going back. Already made my second appt. Mark is a great option for someone who wants a trained psychologist who also integrates for wholistic approaches including sound healing elements and much more. That being said. He also isn’t anti medicine at all and doesn’t judge or think that all things elements can’t be used together. He a rare find. And I’m a high maintenance intense patient. He passed my test so I highly recommend him.
July 9, 2020Colleen L.Verified patient
Mark is exactly what a therapist should be. I have been through a few experiences to know exactly what I needed. He doesn’t just listen. Mark observes your behavior. The way you breathe when talking. The way your face lights up and he points those things out to you. I have so many amazing things to say about him. Such a gifted doctor!

Mark Harren's keen ability to listen is only second to his professionalism. I am steadfastly grateful for his time and service.
More than 1 year agoRL
Mark’s serene office space is perfectly matched to his balanced and grounded nature. He always goes above and beyond for me, even if that means my session runs over time. He has an endless supply of self improvement tools on hand, from yoga tapes to book and charts, that he will often lend or suggest to me. They’ve always been exactly what I needed to add to my self-care routine at that time in my life. He is extremely studied in a myriad of techniques from classical psychology to new age practices and effortlessly blends both worlds together to tailor a treatment program that suits my needs and deeply resonates with me. Every time I finish a visit with mark, I feel hopeful, calm, inspired, and excited to apply what I’ve learned that day, to my life.

Mark is a wonderful therapist, both knowledgeable and compassionate. He is very empathetic and goes out of his way to make one feel comfortable and welcome. He actively listens and genuinely cares about your well being. He follows a holistic, spiritual approach to therapy, which makes the sessions far richer and fulfilling. I feel so grateful that I have met him and I have recommended him to a few friends. I would definitely recommend him to anyone!
