Mark Heffernan

I find myself naturally working with queer and male-identifying individuals who are seeking to reclaim pieces of themselves that anxiety, depression, trauma, and dependency have taken from them. I am here to help you find closure for the life events you likely did not consent to, transforming "unfinished buisness" into a foundation for your future. I provide a sex-positive, trans-affirming space that welcomes all genders and sexual orientations. I honor all romantic dynamics, ranging from monogamy to polyamory.

I am trauma-informed and curious about how your past shapes your present. We will use whats happening between us as a microcosm for change, helping your life take on new meaning, in real time, with each-other. There will be zero worksheets in this therapy. With dual LSW/LCADC licensure in PA and NJ, I support clients across the spectrum of recovery. Let’s turn what you perceive as vulnerabilities into the exact ingredients needed to build a life worth living.

I practice from a relational, psychodynamic, and gestalt perspective, with deep investment in the therapeutic relationship as a catalyst for change. I'm curious about how past and present relationships have influenced your entry into therapy, and the impact this may have on your future wellness. I'm DBT-informed and can offer grounding and coping skills when needed, upon your request.

To ensure I provide the highest standard of care, I do not offer 15-minute consultations. Brief calls rarely offer enough time to understand your unique needs and ensure we are the right fit. Instead, I start with a full initial intake session. To get started, please go ahead and book the initial intake with an available time slot. If for some reason there is a conflict I will contact you. You can always reach out via phone, text, or email if you have any questions, or if your seeking a time not available in plain sight.
