Marc began practicing psychotherapy from a foundation of Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), which remains central to his practice because it is a proven method for treating various conditions. He also incorporates a more integrative approach, Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB). 

IPNB considers the biology of the brain or neuroscience and other ideas, like systems, attachment, and psychoanalysis. This "biopsychosocial" approach helps counselors and therapists understand a person's entire well-being.  

Shawn is trained in multiple treatment modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), and trauma approaches (PE), like the Connect Attachment Program, the Attachment Regulation Competency (ARC) framework, and the Collaborative Problem Solving model. He is also trained to provide readiness hormone and surgical assessments through for World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH).

The initial session is sixty (60) minutes. After confirming your appointment, you will receive an email. The message will include information related to your session, along with documents that can be reviewed and signed prior to meeting. 

Although the first appointment can last up to 90 minutes, the cost is the same as a standard 50-60 minute session.

After your first appointment, we can develop a plan for future sessions and schedule your first follow-up.  You may reschedule or cancel your appointment by contacting me directly or accessing your online account. Typically, a course of treatment is between 6-12 sessions. However, treatment  varies per individual and is often a  collaborative decision between client and therapist.

Appointments must be canceled or rescheduled 24 hours in advance to avoid cancellation fee.
