Is your relationship in trouble?
In pursuit of being the best couples therapist, I have trained directly with John and Julie Gottman, Sue Johnson (EFT-Emotiuon Focused Therapy) and Dan Wile (Collaborative Couples Therapy). Using research and the science of relationships David can predict whether a couple would divorce with an average of over 90% accuracy
David Mark, MS, LCSW, is committed to providing compassionate support to these and many more life issues. About David Mark

Philosophy
Nothing is more rewarding than working with a couple and helping a couple regain that friendship and connection and assisting couples in managing conflict. After an in depth assessment, I will provide with couple with in depth feedback and a clear and concise treatment plan that will guide our work together.
Our primary goal in working together is guiding you toward a more happy, meaningful and fulfilling life. From work, to marriage, to social relationships, and raising children, you will learn effective emotion coaching kills that you will be able to apply across all areas of your life. In working with couples or children/adolescence, together we will increase positive emotions, engagement, meaning, and relationships in your life.
