Founder | Counselor | Existential Detective

Mark Killian, LPC‍ ‍

Hi, there! I’m Mark, and my goal is to help you gain a better understanding of the circumstances that led you to counseling so you can move forward with more self-awareness, compassion, and confidence. I do this by combining existential philosophy with empirically proven interventions (ACT, DBT, CBT, Gottman Method, etc) in an engaging environment where clients from all walks of life feel safe experiencing and expressing a vast array of emotions. If you’re ready to explore where you’ve been, where you are, and/or where you want to go next, consider me your trusty sidekick.
