Dr. Marks currently offers concierge psychotherapy services at her Palm Beach office. She believes that when a person is in pain, they need more than what traditional once or twice-weekly therapy can offer.
Even residential facilities are limited because once the person is back in the same environment, the old patterns are likely to be repeated. She contends that traditional treatment fails because of insufficient support, conflicting recommendations among health-care providers, and inadequate therapy. Dr. Mark’s approach teaches people how to replace self-defeating behavior with self-love so that they learn how to heal the past and remove the blocks that are preventing the person’s happiness and fulfillment.
Her comprehensive approach offers treatment at her office or your residence, includes intensive therapy, the inclusion of significant others, a liaison with other necessary resources, and 24-hour support via phone calls, texts, and emails.
