Mark Smalley, LCSW

Mark Smalley is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who approaches care from a holistic perspective, recognizing that people are physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual beings. As an LCSW he combines professional social work training with a focus on whole-person wellbeing, and he integrates practical lifestyle tools - such as attention to diet, meditation, and movement - alongside therapeutic conversation to support lasting change.

He draws on a range of evidence-informed methods, including client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), hypnotherapy, mindfulness-based approaches, motivational interviewing, narrative and solution-focused techniques, and trauma-focused interventions. This blend allows him to tailor sessions to each person’s needs and preferences, using both psychological and somatic strategies when helpful.

With 29 years of experience, he has worked with individuals from diverse backgrounds on many concerns, including stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, mood disorders, intimacy and sexual issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting challenges, ADHD, and life transitions. He emphasizes the human capacity for growth and resilience and partners with people to identify practical, sustainable steps toward improved wellbeing.
