Meet Mark Shelvock,
Registered Psychotherapist
This is an invitation to embark on the most profound and challenging adventure you will ever face: the one within. Often it’s not pretty, but it is honest and real. I can support you in learning how to lean into your pain and grow your edges so that you can express yourself more authentically.
Too many of us remain trapped in patterns of survival—struggling with fear, loss, anger, stress, depression, low self-esteem, and past trauma that impact our health and well-being. These struggles are not random; they are rooted in unmet psychological needs or unresolved wounds from our past. When we stay stuck in survival mode, we miss the opportunity to fully embrace life and new possibilities.
​
When you aren’t afraid of your inner world and feelings, that is true power. Together, we’ll safely explore the deeper layers of your inner life as to help foster psychological strength and lasting, meaningful growth. Answering the call from within is the most heroic and courageous journey any person can step into.
