My name is Mark Krist. I am a licensed clinical social worker who has been in practice for over 20 years. Originally from Michigan, I have also had the opportunity to live in both New Mexico and Germany before settling in Maryland. My main focus when working with clients is to facilitate a greater sense of competence and help to bring awareness to the innate intelligence and wisdom that each of us possess.
I am grounded in Cognitive Behavioral techniques in addition to drawing on mindfulness practices and psychodynamic concepts. I have been using the tools that I teach for the past 20 years myself and have confidence that when we apply ourselves consistently and compassionately to more healthy ways of living that we can achieve amazing results. I have advanced training in addiction treatment as well as significant experience working with various trauma-related issues, personality-related issues, depression and anxiety, as well as gender and sexuality. Each person has everything they need inside themselves to be whole and healthy. I am the subject matter expert on skills and techniques while you are the subject matter expert on yourself. You deserve to be happy and whole.
