Specializing in complex trauma, LGBTQ+ issues, gender-affirming care, EMDR Certified Therapist
Mark is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and founder of Discovering Self Group, a private-pay telehealth practice supporting clients across Florida, Oregon, Washington, and Kentucky. He brings a grounded, integrative approach to ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, drawing on both his clinical training and a background that spans two decades in healthcare systems before transitioning into somatic and mental health work. Mark's approach centers the nervous system as much as the narrative — helping clients build the internal safety needed to metabolize what arises during and between sessions. He works collaboratively, tailoring preparation and integration to each client's readiness, history, and goals, rather than applying a one-size-fits-all protocol. You can expect a steady, present collaborator — someone who treats the medicine as one part of a larger process of change, not the whole of it.
