Mark has been a Clinical Social worker for the past 16 years working in the US and UK with various client populations from Babies needing organ transplants to adults with End Stage Renal Disease. The common thread with those unwell as he puts it, has been their connection or lack thereof with positive thoughts, habits and social network. The lack of these associations generally leads to decline over time. He realized that he was most passionate about helping people stay or return to wellness rather that assisting the disease state. Mark actively pursues the link between effective nutrition and solid Mental Health and Wellness, his aim is the help clients feel like the best version of themselves.

As a clinical social worker, I use a strength-based and person-centered approach when working with clients. My expertise is treating anxiety, depression and OCD and I have experience working with clients seeking support for many other challenges as well. My clients include adults, families, couples and children. I personalize each treatment plan and makes sure that I am working with the client, not just the diagnosis. My goal is to make clients feel empowered on their journey through their mental health challenges and other adversities. I am a strong proponent of building a therapeutic alliance with every client I work with - trust and mutual respect between myself and clients are essential. I like to make my sessions lively and come prepared each time we meet. Therapy is hard work but that doesn't mean it can't be fun as well!

I help adults with anxiety, depression, grief/loss and life transitions process their thoughts, actions and behaviors so that they can achieve their goals. My goal is to create a safe and secure environment that is filled with compassion, warmth, and empathy. I want every person who meets me to feel accepted. It isn’t easy to ask for help or to trust a stranger with intimate details of whatever problem(s) they are facing. I take the trust placed in me very seriously. I have gained 18 years of clinical skills in both inpatient and outpatient as well as crisis intervention. I have also worked within both acute care and palliative care on the medical side, giving me a unique perspective on the importance of an integrative approach aimed at treating the mind and body. I look forward to working with you!

Feeling depressed, anxious, hopeless? You're at the point that you've tried everything you can think of and nothing has worked? Are you feeling more and more stressed? Whether a long-standing mental health problem or something that has just cropped up, interfering with your important relationships and daily activities, I can help by introducing solutions and supporting you as you work your way to the life you want. A lot of times, simple changes in the way you communicate with your significant others can improve bad relationships quickly, improve your self-esteem, and get you back on the path of accomplishing your life goals. My name is Dr. James Benedick and I have been helping people identify and achieve their life goals for the past 46 years.
