- “I highly recommend Mark. He listens closely, shares relevant theories/advice and makes the conversation effortless. Every session with Mark is an enjoyable learning experience.”
- “I can’t emphasize how grateful I am to have Mark as my therapist for my mental health journey. He’s been a rock through it all. Very attentive and considerate. On numerous occasion, have been able to provide insight on subjects that I was unaware of and able to help me navigate through many difficult emotions. Mark is very responsive and understanding. Occasionally, I will revert to my ways of isolation but he’s able to reengage me in a subtle way. Doesn’t force engagement but offers reassurance that he’s accessible if needed. I feel Mark is true and genuine about my wellbeing. I understand that there are complicated dynamics between the user and therapist so not everyone is a good “fit” for everyone but would urge those searching for a therapist to contact Mark.”
- “Mark has been very helpful through a traumatic experience and then afterward I’m continuing with him to be more proactive in my mental health and life management. I would highly recommend Mark as he is able to flex to a variety of situations and mental health needs.”
- “Mark is an outstanding therapist”
- “When I first signed up I had doubts. I wasn't afraid to meet him for the first time because I felt that if it did not go well, I would make sure to never see him again. Within 5 minutes, he had me. He was kind, and his energy radiates a genuine and comforting approach to how he handles each interaction. I did realize how much talking to someone outside of your direct universe could be so helpful. I am really thankful for Mark, and his insights. I still have a ton of work to do, but working with him helps me see how worth this all is.”
- “Mark is amazing”
- “Mark is the best therapist i’ve ever talked too. he isn’t afraid of laying it straight for me and he is an amazing match for my needs. 10/10 would recommend HIM if someone wanted therapy.”
- “Mark has been a rock through my journey thus far. I’ve had a few therapist since joining BetterHelp but Mark has set himself apart from the previous therapist. Not to knock other therapists but I feel he genuinely cares about my wellbeing since the beginning. <br /> <br /> Mark actively engages during our sessions and retains even the smallest of details. His ability to analyze the conversation, identify key points and to breakdown said points to the simplest level to comprehend has been a skilled I have really appreciated.<br /> <br /> I went went silent for an extended period, unannounced and no notice. Mark periodically reached out to check on me and I am truly grateful for that.<br /> <br /> I know each individual are going through their own challenges in their own way and some therapist have different skills/approaches but I HIGHLY recommend those looking to start their own journey to reach out to Mark.”
- “Mark is an incredibly thoughtful, incisive therapist. He really knows how to help one get a hold of their feelings, even through the hard times, to help you stay in control of yourself and your life. <br /> He’s also an exceptional counsel. He’s given me situational advice that has greatly improved my life in a material sense. Can’t recommend him enough.”
- “Mark is a great therapist he doesn't just listen he actively comes up with a plan and different perspectives that help you look at the situation as a whole not just a yes man on your point of view”
- “Mark Novak is still amazing and I’m getting better every day”
- “Mark is great. He’s actively engaging. Provides constant feedback and really approaches each session with a purpose. I feel comfortable and confident with Mark.”
