Mark Gough
My practice over the past 30 years as an LCMHC has allowed me to help people of diverse backgrounds overcome a variety of life's challenges. I help people by meeting with them, learning about their problems and discovering ways for them to feel more at ease.
If you teach him to fish, you feed him for a lifetime." The type of psychotherapy I do is very intense and short-term compared to other types of counseling.
The most common issues that I help people with involve their moods (for example sadness, worrying, anger or stress) and with their relationships. All types of people come to see me; people just like you who have hit a bump in the road and want to help themselves feel better again. I've focused on adults and couples struggling with anxiety, depression, controlling anger, family conflict, substance abuse, and behavioral issues. If you're looking for someone to help, I'd welcome your call!

We’ll clarify the issues you’re trying to overcome and discuss any history of treatment you may have had. We’ll also formulate your Treatment Plan by identifying what exactly you hope to accomplish or change through our work together.
