About

Hi there, I'm Mark! My name is Mark Kuntz and I am a licensed clinical Social Worker. My area of focus is adults and older adults focused on issues of grief and loss, role transition, interpersonal conflict, depression, anxiety, and trauma. My approach My approach to therapy utilizes Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Interpersonal (IPT), and Motivational Interviewing Therapeutic techniques. My focus I typically work with clients experiencing grief or loss, role transitions, interpersonal conflict, anxiety, depression, and trauma. My communication style My goal is to create an environment that is safe for clients to identify issues that are negatively impacting their daily life and work together with the client on a treatment plan that will help improve the client's means of coping with these stressors. My journey to therapy My journey as a therapist started when I worked at a Hospital and later as a Hospice Social Worker. I worked with clients dealing with acute, chronic, and life-threatening illnesses. Over the years I have worked with clients experiencing homelessness, anxiety, and depression. All of these experiences have helped me develop a supportive and encouraging style of therapy that helps motivate clients to identify and seek out change opportunities to improve their life experiences. My goals for you Goal setting is developed together with the client. The first step is to work with the client to establish the agreed upon problems and then identify the goals to address the problem as well as the expected outcomes that we hope to see after the goals are established. My first session with you The first session will involve getting to know the client's needs and expectations, conducting an initial assessment, reviewing confidentiality and the limits of confidentiality, and setting expectations for treatment.
