Getting to know Mark Howerton

Hi there, I'm Mark! I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist with a Master's in Counseling Psychology from California State University, Fullerton. My therapy is personally customized for who you are and what you're working through. It's called "client-centered" therapy. My approach I work with individuals and couples, combining strategic problem-solving with insight-oriented growth. Additionally, I use cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify and eliminate negative thought patterns and limiting beliefs. My focus My clients come to therapy with an open mind and hope to improve their life and circumstances. Together, we acknowledge that there may be a difficult starting point, but I hold hope that things will improve through therapy. My communication style I am known for a warm and casual tone and how I engage with my clients. When appropriate, I believe humor can be a wonderful tool to help us see ourselves and our circumstances through a new lens. My journey to mental healthcare I've been involved in mentoring, coaching, and counseling people for nearly my whole life. Even in high school, I was selected as a "peer counselor" to work with members of my student body. From there, I studied pastoral counseling before pursuing my license as a marriage and family therapist. I am passionate about my life's work, and helping my clients is my highest goal. My goals for you In working with my clients, we set goals collaboratively. I enjoy helping my clients identify their primary goals and desired outcomes. My first session with you In your first session with me, you'll receive a warm welcome and experience the safe and comfortable setting of a healthy therapeutic environment. My first goal is to build a comfortable rapport with you and ensure that I'm the right fit to help you meet your goals.
