CURRENTLY you feel anxious or depressed, use alcohol or drugs to cope, have problems at school or work and it is taking a toll on family relationships. By now, you feel stuck during a time of transition and struggle with motivation. People may be stating concerns to you but you may not feel there is a problem, it is too overwhelming to change or you just do not care right now.
You notice that your friends are moving forward in their lives but you feel stuck. YOU WANT to be independent, self-sufficient and confident. You want to feel happy, relaxed and in control of your life. You wish you had a sense of direction, pride in your accomplishments, good friendships and better relationships with your family.

Services
I specialize in counseling young men in transition who struggle with a variety of mental health issues such as substance use disorders, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. My professional experiences have honed my skill at instilling hope in young men whose lives have veered of track because of mental health, alcohol or drug-related problems.
Talk to someone who cares. I have helped hundreds of young men who struggle with mental illness and substance use disorders and I can help you too. While I am well-trained and prepared to handle serious mental health and addiction crises, I also offer support for young men who are just looking for an opportunity to discuss problems with someone they can trust.
Family Recovery Teams improve treatment outcomes by creating a recovery team that supports the patient during and after treatment. The recovery team is made up of family members who work under the guidance of a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADC). Family Recovery Teams get everyone involved in their own recovery process.
Having drinks after class or work. Smoking a joint to chill out. Popping some pills to help you study. You might feel that alcohol or drugs are an acceptable way to relax or cope, but you can also run the risk of developing a serious problem. Even if you are just experimenting with alcohol and drugs, it can still cause negative consequences in your life.
Anger is a normal emotion to experience. Everyone gets angry and annoyed on occasion. It's how you deal anger that is important. If your anger is persistent or causing problems with your relationships, work, school or sleep, then it's time to work on managing those emotions before they get the best of you.

I am so grateful I have been able to find such a caring, warm-hearted, and passionate therapist as Mark O'Brien. I very highly recommend Mark to anyone reading this review you will be in excellent hands.
He has really helped me in the few years I've gotten to know him. He has this thing he does whenever we finish our session where he beautifully sums everything up and you leave with a solid foundation of what you've discussed and he encourages you to build off of until you meet next session. I've seen a couple of other therapists in the past and you just stop the session and leave them but Mark

I have seen my fair share of therapists and I have to say Mark is the best therapist I've had. Since day one he made me feel welcome, comfortable and that I was in a safe environment. He really does care and listens to what I have to say. He gives incredible feedback and has pointed me in the right direction to be happy and successful in life. I'm grateful every time we finish a session to have found a therapist like Mark. He is also always punctual with scheduling and responses to Texts/Calls.
