Specialized therapy for growth and well being
At Mark Albright Psychotherapy, I offer compassionate, evidence-based counseling, personally tailored to help you navigate life's most challenging moments. I understand that reaching out for support can be a significant step, especially for those who have felt hesitant to engage in therapy or felt pressure to handle everything alone. My approach is rooted in fostering a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your unique struggles, build self-understanding, and develop resilience to create lasting positive change.
Drawing from over a decade of experience, including my work as the former director of a co-occurring residential substance abuse program, I specialize in providing deep and effective support. My practice is dedicated to men's issues, helping clients find authentic strength and healthier ways to cope; couples therapy to foster deeper connection, trust, and communication; comprehensive support for addiction recovery, including challenges with substances, sex, porn, and other behavioral addictions; and providing empathetic guidance through major life transitions.
My goal is to empower you with insight and practical strategies, helping you discover a more purposeful and balanced life. Explore the accompanying sections to learn more about how a mindful and integrated approach can support your personal journey.

In today's world, men often face unique pressures to be strong, self-reliant, and emotionally stoic, which can make it challenging to seek help. My therapy for men provides a confidential and non-judgmental space to address a range of issues, including anxiety, depression, anger management, work stress, relationship challenges, and feelings of disconnection. We work to understand and express emotions constructively, build healthier coping mechanisms, and overcome the burden of unrealistic expectations. Through tailored approaches, including mindfulness and ACT, you can develop greater self-awareness, improve communication, and align your life with your authentic values, leading to stronger relationships and a more fulfilling sense of self.

My approach to couples therapy helps partners navigate complex relationship challenges, transforming conflict into opportunities for deeper connection. Rooted in an understanding of attachment styles, we explore how early experiences shape current relational patterns, impacting communication and intimacy. I draw on evidence-based Gottman techniques to build healthier patterns of interaction, manage conflict constructively, and rebuild trust. Integrating principles of mindfulness and compassion, we cultivate emotional presence and empathy within the relationship, fostering resilience and mutual understanding. My goal is to empower couples to break free from old cycles, enhance communication, and create more fulfilling, supportive, and lasting bonds aligned with their shared values.

Breaking free from the cycle of addiction—whether it's to substances, sex, porn, gambling, gaming, or other problematic behaviors—requires courage and a comprehensive approach. With my experience as a former director of a co-occurring residential substance abuse program, I provide empathetic and effective support for addiction recovery. We focus on understanding underlying triggers, developing robust coping skills (drawing from DBT and ACT), and addressing co-occurring issues like trauma, anxiety, or depression. My goal is to help you achieve sustainable recovery, prevent relapse, rebuild a meaningful life aligned with your values, and heal the relational impacts of addiction.

Life is a series of changes, but some major life transitions can feel overwhelming, leading to uncertainty, anxiety, or a sense of loss. Whether you're navigating a career change, divorce or separation, grief and loss, becoming a parent, an empty nest, relocation, or retirement, therapy offers a supportive space to process these shifts. I help clients develop resilience, clarify new goals, and find purpose amidst change. Through mindfulness and ACT, we address the emotional impact of transitions, identify effective coping strategies, and empower you to embrace new beginnings with greater clarity and calm.
