Getting to know Mark Tovar
I specialize in working with high-stressed professionals likely to experience burnout due to the intense demands of their work and time. What's the next step? Transition, power up, or move on? One thing is for sure-staying like this leads to death.
I provide counseling to executives and employees from some of the best Fortune 500 companies in areas including business, law, healthcare, sales, education, finance, technology, human resources, executive leadership, entrepreneurs, first responders, and legal and medical professionals.
It's going to take more than yoga and smoothies to fix it, but there is a way back from burnout. I hold a Master's in Counseling from Central Michigan University, which equips me to guide clients through these challenges with expertise and empathy.

What is your typical process for working with clients?
Busy professionals don't have time for a lot of therapy, so our time together is focused and moves fast
We focus on:
Your thoughts and actions
The now
interactive conversation
light assignments
I refer to a lot of other smart people and books, podcasts, and any resource I think will benefit you outside of our sessions
We meet once every 2 weeks . This allows you to try some things you learn in sessions. Remember to get something different -We must do differently
I want you to feel comfortable and be honest with me about what you want out of sessions. You are paying money and it's important you get value out of our 60 minutes
Most of my clients find that 3 months (6-8 Sessions) is what they need. They return if they need a brush-up. People generally like to learn stuff and move forward. and my clients are sharp and goal-oriented (When they are not burned out)
