Anxiety Treatment

Beyond Talk Therapy.

A different approach that finally sets you free.


You tried talk therapy, but you're still struggling.

Your past is still running your life.

You need therapy that sets you free from your old programming.

This is for you if you’re:

  • Still easily triggered
  • Still anxious when you could be relaxed
  • Still replaying old hurts you thought you'd dealt with
  • Still sabotaging yourself
  • Still shrinking when you want to show up
  • Still repeating undesirable relationship patterns
  • Still beating yourself up

"I have coped with a severe anxiety disorder for as long as I can remember. Within a few sessions with Mark, I felt in control of my anxieties — something that years of medications, diet changes, and therapists hadn't made a dent in."
— Former Client

It’s not you. It’s after-market programming.

As we move through life, our minds get programmed. What's normal and familiar. What to expect. How to act. What to guard against. That's how the mind works.

And this code doesn't just influence your life — it runs it.

Programming from your past is creating your current life experience. What you pay attention to. What you ignore. Your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. All of it emerges from this underlying programming.

It’s not you. It’s after-market programming.

As we move through life, our minds get programmed. What's normal and familiar. What to expect. How to act. What to guard against. That's how the mind works.

And this code doesn't just influence your life — it runs it.

Programming from your past is creating your current life experience. What you pay attention to. What you ignore. Your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. All of it emerges from this underlying programming.

Given your history, your programming makes sense. But not all of it serves you. Everyone can benefit from updating unhelpful code so they can positively shift their life experience.

This is the work I do: Helping people gently and safely make changes to the code causing their problems and blocking their joy and success.

With Energy Psychology, I can help you change what talk therapy couldn't touch. Together we'll make specific, conscious changes to your programming — and you'll often notice results within the session itself.

How it works:

I use Energy Psychology — a family of methods backed by 200+ research studies, used by therapists and trauma first-responders worldwide. These methods work with your whole being — conscious and subconscious mind, body, and subtle energy systems. They're gentle and so easy to use, I work with children who learn to apply them independently.

The result: patterns that have run your life for years can shift — often faster than you'd expect.

You can use your mind to change your mind's programming — and you'll be surprised how easy this actually is.

What the change feels like:

We target the memories, beliefs and patterns driving your struggle — updating them at the source, so they no longer run your life.

Most people notice real shifts during the session itself — a sense of relief, calm, or peace.

  • The memory no longer feels disturbing.
  • The belief no longer feels true.
  • The anxious feelings about the future calm or fade entirely.
  • Muscle tension begins to release.
  • A deep breath comes easier.
  • It feels safe to relax.

In the days and weeks that follow, clients often notice that problematic behaviors have quietly dropped away — and that they're showing up in their lives more the way they've wanted to.

The work is gentle. You may share your story, but this isn't about endlessly revisiting painful experiences session after session. Change happens more directly than that.

"Every time I go to a restaurant or excursion alone, I'm still amazed at how comfortable I feel. Mark's treatment is simply amazing. Thank you for helping me heal."

Psychotherapist & Coach | Board Member, Association for Comprehensive Energy Psychology

I've spent 30+ years helping people change when traditional approaches weren't enough.

I became a therapist to help people actually change — not just understand why they're struggling. Energy Psychology gave me the tools to do that. I've seen it work with people who had spent years trying to find relief.

"Mark taught me EFT and muscle testing, and it transformed my practice. Before, it was as if I was cutting through problems with a stone knife. Now I use a space age cutting tool. I save patients time, money, and suffering — and amazing healing can occur at a tremendous pace."

— Alice W. Lee-Bloem, MD, Child, Adolescent and Adult Psychiatrist

"Mark is one of the most innovative, competent and ethical mental health professionals I know."
