Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I reached out to Mark for pediatric therapy and got so much more. He understood my frustrations and in our brief conversation he allowed me to take back some of my power. THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I highly recommend him

I've been working with Dr. Dearing for years. He's always extremely caring and listens well. After every session I always feel I come away with and improved mood. He always tries to make the appointment times convenient for me if I have a work trip that I have to take last minute etc.. I always suggest Dr. Dearing to anyone who asks for a referral for mental health help

We have benefited from Mark’s counsel over the last several years during different seasons within our family. Following periods in which we did not schedule regular visits, he always falls right back in step with our current needs. We appreciate his perspective as a fellow believer in Christ. His availability and objective wisdom are assets to our family.

Mark is friendly, easy to talk to, respectful, understanding but will give constructive criticism to help. Mark has helped me through very difficult situations and helped me become a better version of myself.

My wife and I had five sessions with Mark and I found him to be an excellent listener. He was able to ask insightful questions just by listening to what we were saying. Mark is calming and insightful and a pleasure to work with.

Mark is an excellent counselor. He is easygoing and pleasant. His tone is relaxed, and I am sometimes surprised by how much we accomplish when it feels like we're just having a conversation. I have seen Mark for many years for an ongoing diagnosis and highly recommend him.
