Mark Adamski

Mark Adamski

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 14 mi away • Boston, MA


I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who specializes in working with adolescents, young adults, and the families who love them—especially when things feel like they’re at a breaking point. In my past full-time role, I worked in a residential treatment setting supporting teens and young adults facing challenges like anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, substance use, ADHD, and family conflict. I’ve sat with families during some of their hardest moments—crisis calls, treatment decisions, school refusal, shutdown, and explosive behavior—and I understand how overwhelming and isolating it can feel as the person of concern and parent. What makes my work different is that I don’t just focus on the individual—I work with the system. I help parents and young people rebuild communication, restore trust, and create real, lasting change at home, not just in a therapy room.

If you’re feeling stuck, burned out, or unsure what to do next, you don’t have to navigate it alone.
