Mark Whitney
LPC, ACS
I believe that true healing begins when we stop hiding, silencing, or sacrificing who we really are to gain approval from others. Too often, we wear "masks" to cover up shame and pain, preventing us from living with authenticity and connection.
My approach creates a space of deep safety and trust—where you can remove those masks and step into your most honest and empowered self. This foundation of self-awareness and self-acceptance fosters the courage to engage in meaningful change.
I specialize in working with couples and individuals using a depth-oriented approach, integrating the Enneagram as a powerful tool for transformation. Through EMDR therapy, I also help clients process trauma and break free from the emotional patterns that hold them back.
On my own counseling journey, I had to confront the false beliefs that shaped my struggles and learn to see myself with clarity and compassion. My therapists provided a non-judgmental space where I could fully show up—without running from shame or guilt.
Born and raised in Colorado, I love calling Denver home. I earned my master's degree in Community Counseling and have built a career centered on authenticity, emotional depth, and meaningful relationships. Outside of therapy, I enjoy exploring Colorado's breathtaking landscapes—whether hiking, snowboarding, or road biking.
