Welcome! Meet Mark Douglas, LMSW

Location: Grand Rapids

Specialties: Anxiety, Depression, Personality Disorders, Couples Counseling, Coping Skills, Recovery, Trauma, Relationships, and Self-Esteem 

Ages: 12+

Welcome to the start of your mental health journey! I view it as one of my life’s greatest privileges to witness a variety of human experiences and to hold a space for self-acceptance to grow.

I specialize in mood and personality disorders, using a relational style as the foundation of my practice and implementing DBT, CBT, and IFS principles. If you are finding yourself “stuck”, disconnected from others, depressed and/or anxious, my goal is to work with you to find the “root” causes, and become comfortable being your true self.

Within my counseling office you will have the advantage of a safe, judgment-free, and pressure-free atmosphere where you will have the opportunity to become more self-aware. I can also help you understand the obstacles keeping you from reaching your goals and work with you to find a sustainable solution.

Rates & Insurance

This is my first time in therapy. What can I expect?

In therapy, you can expect a welcoming and supportive space where we’ll work together to explore your feelings, set personal goals, and develop coping strategies for challenges like anxiety, stress, grief, and more. I’ll tailor our approach using techniques like cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to meet your unique needs, empowering you to make positive changes at your own pace.

How do I get started with therapy?

The first step is to fill out the contact form with your information to the best of your ability. One of our intake specialists will then reach out to answer any questions you may have and schedule a brief phone consultation. During this call, we’ll ask you to share a little about yourself and discuss what you’d like to focus on in therapy!

How often would we meet?

There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to therapy. In the beginning, we typically recommend meeting on a weekly basis. This gives us a chance to get to know one another, and as our work together develops, we encourage personal assessments so we can create a schedule that suits your specific needs.
