Meet Mark Shelvock,
Registered Psychotherapist
Establishing a relationship with the hidden or unconscious aspects of your mind (psyche) and body (soma) can help you learn how to live with your deepest emotional wounds, while also offering you the opportunity to discover vitality, freedom, and joy.
​
I can support you in learning how to lean into your pain and grow your edges so that you can express yourself more authentically.
​
I help individuals reach their full potential by integrating psychodynamic psychotherapy, attachment theory, jungian psychology, somatic experiencing, neuroscience, and
expressive arts therapy.
