Getting to know Dr. Mark Lawson

Hi there, I'm Mark! I am a licensed psychologist in the state of New York and have worked as a professional psychologist since 1994. I earned my PhD in Clinical Psychology from the University of Arkansas and completed my bachelor's degree at Weber State University. I approach psychotherapy from a humanist perspective but can also provide specific therapies like CBT. I am a generalist with extensive experience treating mental health disorders and facilitating growth for those more interested in self-exploration than in treating illness. I have a special interest in insomnia and can provide CBT for insomnia (CBT-i). My approach My primary orientation is Humanistic and Existential, a model that sees the person as having their own answers within and views psychotherapy as a process of facilitated self-exploration. I am also very comfortable with cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT). I have a specific interest in CBT for insomnia (CBT-i), an evidence-based short-term therapy for insomnia. My focus I work with adults and prefer to work with those who come to psychotherapy with a personal wish to grow and, if necessary, to heal, rather than being pushed into treatment against their wishes by others. My communication style I like to provide a supportive environment for your self-exploration, where you can feel safe to look at yourself, your feelings, thoughts, and behaviors without fear of judgment. My journey to mental healthcare I became a psychotherapist both to understand myself and to provide care for others. My goals for you I am committed to shared decision-making when choosing goals for personal change in psychotherapy. My first session with you The first sessions are spent getting to know you, your therapeutic goals, and what has motivated you to enter psychotherapy. Learning about your history and current context allows us to approach your issues in an informed way.
