Dr. Mark Sykes

Hello and welcome. I'm a clinical psychologist with over 25 years of experience helping people navigate life's challenges. More importantly, I genuinely care about helping people feel seen, heard, and empowered. I use evidence-based approaches to support clients experiencing anxiety, depression, panic, OCD, health concerns, and more. My background spans hospitals, crisis hotlines, psychiatric facilities, intensive outpatient programs and outpatient clinics - each one has deepened my understanding and compassion. At the heart of my work is a simple truth: change is possible and we can create lives that feel true to who we are. I am passionate about using that knowledge to help others heal, grow, and thrive.

I offer a space of warmth and collaboration, where your voice is heard and your story matters. My approach blends evidence-based practices with a deep respect for your unique goals and strengths. I draw from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance-based approaches, mindfulness and positive psychology to support meaningful change. While these practices will help you reduce distress, my deeper passion lies in helping you thrive and live your very best life. No matter how stuck or uncertain things may feel, I believe that positive change is always possible and that you can create a life that feels truly your own.

Reaching out for help takes courage - if you've made it this far, you're already moving in the right direction. In our sessions, you can expect to feel heard, respected and genuinely supported. Together we'll clarify what matters most to you and identify practical steps towards a healthier, more fulfilling life. We'll explore your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors compassionately to work towards meaningful, lasting change.
