About Marcus Birch

Marcus Birch, LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor), practices as an individual and couples counselor who places the therapeutic relationship at the center of care. He prioritizes problem solving, offers an empathetic space for clients to be heard, and does not shy away from moments of levity when life feels absurd. Known for a direct and straightforward style, he helps people process difficult emotions and complex ideas while tailoring his approach to meet each person where they are.

His work is largely relational and draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and solution-oriented methods, with an openness to blend additional approaches as appropriate. Marcus operates from a guiding principle that nothing in a personÆs experience is wasted; he finds value in both small details and larger patterns to illuminate useful directions for change.

Marcus acknowledges the courage it takes to pursue a more fulfilling life and views his role as supportive and empowering for those taking steps toward change. He brings a practical, relational focus to both individual and couples work and often emphasizes processing and connection in therapy. Allons-Y!
