When my partner and I first sought his help, our marriage was on the verge of collapse with both of us separated and living in different countries. We were stuck in a cycle of constant arguments, miscommunication, and emotional distance. From the very first session, Mark created a safe, judgment-free space that allowed both of us to open up and be vulnerable. We had seen quite a few therapists previously and can confidently say Mark's approach is unique and different than all other therapists we tried. His practical and direct advice helped us uncover the root causes of our conflicts, teaching us how to communicate in a way that fosters understanding and connection rather than division. His strategies and exercises were practical, insightful, and tailored specifically to our needs. Week after week, we began to see significant changesnot just in our relationship but also in how we viewed ourselves and each other. Two months into therapy we moved back in together.

Biography: "You cant go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending." - CS Lewis My name is Rachel Lefkowitz and I am a licensed clinical social worker in the state of Michigan (LMSW). I have been practicing for nearly 10 years and have experience in an array of clinical settings, including: behavioral/mental health, care management, addiction, crisis management, child and family counseling, and medical care management. In my approach to counseling, the client is the expert; he or she knows themselves better than anyone else. Often times, cognitive distortions may result in flawed beliefs about ourselves and others, which in turn may spiral into self-destructive behaviors and thoughts . Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I am able to help clients discover patterns of thinking and behavior that are rooted in unhealthy views of self, others, and the world around them. Together, we begin to challenge those beliefs, and reframe our thinking in order to live a healthier, more meaningful, and more intentional life. As an empathic, compassionate, and committed professional, I provide a non-judgmental environment where you can be your authentic self. It is my goal to help you find strategies to cope with life challenges as they arise so that you can live a happier, more fulfilling life.
