As a psychotherapist who practices from a Transpersonal perspective, I provide therapy for the WHOLE individual.

I use an eclectic therapy mode where I choose to use the therapeutic techniques that will work best for not only your psychological condition, but also matched to your personality style to ensure the fastest and most long-standing positive outcome.

As a licensed professional counselor and addictions counselor, I am able to address both mental health and addiction issues in a comprehensive manner. I also am able to offer EMDR for the relief of pain due to trauma. I incorporate mind, body and spirit into the work with clients to assist in the healing of all aspects of the individual. I respect that initiating therapy is a difficult step to take. Sharing the personal details of your life with someone you just meet, can be overwhelming and feelings of uncertaining may be present. I offer a free initial 1/2 hour consultation. This allows clients to meet me and see if I am a good for them. Finding the right therapist should not be an expensive venture. I am compassionate and understanding, I am not here to judge, I am here to help. I can utilize my training in family and play therapy to enhance the process for both children and adults. Each client is unique and requires a individualized approach and plan to best suite their spicific needs. My goal is to have each and every client leave with a sense of relief and satisfaction. .

I offer an alternative to traditional in-office therapy through secure, HIPAA compliant video sessions on doxy.me. My practice is rooted in accessibility, compassion, and integration, making therapy available to anyone seeking growth, healing, or clarity no matter where they are. I work with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, and the complex emotional patterns that shape our lives. As an Integrative Therapist, I draw from a variety of theoretical approaches including cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, mindfulness-based, and humanistic frameworks. This allows me to tailor each session to the unique personality, needs, and goals of the individual. Rather than adhering to a single model, I help clients uncover what truly works for them, whether it’s developing insight into the past, learning new coping skills, or cultivating emotional regulation in the present moment. My approach emphasizes authenticity and collaboration. I believe that therapy should be a safe and supportive partnership where you can explore your story without judgment. Many clients come to therapy feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or uncertain about how to move forward. Together, we work to transform those feelings into understanding and action. You will find that our sessions balance structure with flexibility, allowing space for both emotional depth and practical problem solving. Online therapy offers the utmost convenience, privacy, and comfort. Sessions can be scheduled at times that fit your lifestyle, removing the obstacles of travel, traffic, and scheduling conflicts. Many clients appreciate the ability to connect from their own home or private space, where they often feel more relaxed and open to self-reflection. For individuals who are apprehensive about visiting a therapist’s office, telehealth creates a sense of safety and ease that encourages engagement and progress. Confidentiality is central to my practice. doxy.me is fully encrypted, secure, and compliant with all federal privacy standards. You can trust that your personal information and session content remain completely private. Therapy is an investment in your well-being and your future. Whether you are seeking relief from stress or anxiety, working through depression or trauma, improving your relationships, or simply striving for greater emotional balance, I provide a compassionate and nonjudgmental space where real change can occur. My goal is to help you develop resilience, insight, and tools that will continue to support you long after therapy ends. If you are ready to begin, reach out to schedule a session. Together, we can create a path toward healing, growth, and lasting change.

How I work: First we will have an introductory conversation on the phone. I will gain preliminary understanding of the problem you need help with. If I will feel that I may not be the right fit, I will provide you with referrals for therapists who specialize in the issue you are seeking a solution for (i.e., pain management). We will also discuss fees. In our first session I will go over the inform consent and office policies with you and will collect data for the intake. I will become very involved with you and we will work as a team. I will ask you what your goals are and after a couple of sessions, I will discuss the treatment plan with you. You will be in a very safe and supportive environment. I will learn to know who you are and what your personality is and I will adapt the therapeutic process to meet your individual needs. We will discuss your progress as we go along and make changes if the need arises. We will also discuss those changes to ensure that we are on the right direction in your path for personal growth.

Mindset: Inspiration for the process of therapy can be drawn from one of the best movie quotes of all time, “No! Try not! Do or Do Not, There is no try.” These are very powerful words telling people, especially to those in therapy that you must either willingly make your own necessary and sometimes critical changes in your life or you don’t. Therapy is about actively regaining control of your personal energy. Therapy is a collaborative approach to healing and well-being between a client and therapist. The therapist helps guide a person into making better life decisions, but the client must intuitively think of new ways of managing their life stressors that they are comfortable starting and maintaining. Clients not willing to make changes for themselves will continue to spin helplessly and hopelessly out of control. The mind is constantly changing; people in therapy must also learn to continually adjust and adapt to new situations while keeping a mindful-eye on their past.

Dr. Hurley’s stance on his education, training, and career is to always strive to learn more, to do more, and to be the best therapist possible. Therapeutic Stance: My approach to therapy with my clients is multi-faceted. There is no one therapy to fit all. I like to approach issues from a psycho-dynamic, family systems, CBT, Gestalt, existential, and medical stance. When dealing with mental health disorders you have to consider the mind as well as the body for the root of a problem. Therapy needs to be understandable by those who seek help and I have spent years refining my technique to help clients understand the issues they’re facing and the theories on how to resolve said issues. People feel more comfortable and understood if you can talk to them in the various places they are currently. I love to see individuals, couples, and groups in a calm, peaceful, and most importantly neutral environment. I love to make presentations to groups for psycho-educational purposes as well.

Clinical hypnotherapy is the blending of traditional talk therapy and hypnosis, which allows the client to access the deep “stories” of their subconscious mind and to make changes to that internal “programming” in record time. American Health Magazine reported the following statistics: • Psychoanalysis: 38% recovery after 600 sessions • Behavior Therapy: 72% recovery after 22 sessions • Hypnotherapy: 93% recovery after 6 sessions Many people believe that hypnosis should only be used as a last resort for smoking cessation, weight loss or changing habits. Few people know that hypnotherapy is a dynamic and vital healing process which embraces all aspects of mental health care. Client-centered hypnotherapy is a partnership between the client and the therapist. Through the process of hypnosis and/or regression, the subconscious mind can go directly to the original cause of the trauma or habit. These feelings can be healed and released, thus empowering the clients to let go of old beliefs about themselves and others. Ultimately, this therapy allows clients to live the life they want to live by giving them the power of choice. Transpersonal hypnotherapy is an orientation toward clinical hypnotherapy that addresses the relationship between the mind, body and spirit. It emphasizes the innate spiritual resources within each individual, connecting the client with the guidance of a Higher Power to bring insights and experiences that lead to the client's highest good. This is not connected to any specific religious orientation, but rather to an inner “knowing” that makes it possible for clients to explore their relationship to a Universal Creator and their own unique spiritual walk through life. I am a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist and a Professional Member of the Association for Transpersonal Psychology and Hypnotherapy. By blending ancient shamanic tools for self-transformation with modern understanding of the human mind, I help you to reintegrate the “missing pieces” of yourself so that you can resolve unwanted patterns of behavior, find peace and inner harmony, and feel whole and alive again. By erasing the traumas of past abuse, abandonment, and accidents/injuries (including PTSD), you can come back to the experience of thriving, not just surviving, and of reconnection to your higher Wisdom and soul’s purpose for your life.

I applaud your courage in reaching out and seeking therapy. Whether this is your first time or you've been in therapy before, whatever life-challenge you are facing, it would be my privilege to help. I welcome you to the comfort of my office, a nurturing, confidential space....a safe haven where you can give voice to your deepest needs and concerns, where expression of *all* feelings are gently encouraged, and truly heard. In an atmosphere of warmth and unconditional acceptance, I will value, respect and listen deeply to you as we work together to ease your pain. We will look beyond your symptoms to identify and understand the root causes of your distress, freeing you to heal, grow and create the full, meaningful life that you envision and deserve. Issues frequently addressed include: grieving past or recent loss, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, self-criticism, teen issues, gay and lesbian concerns, job and school-related issues, assertiveness, creative blocks, and family conflict. In our time together I will help you develop increased awareness of your thoughts, feelings, needs and patterns of behavior as you explore your inner world, access your strengths and gain the freedom to be yourself - to deeply know, value and appreciate who you truly are, not who you think you should be, or others expect you to be. Honoring the uniqueness of each person, I celebrate diversity and welcome clients from all sexual orientations, ethnic and racial backgrounds and religious/spiritual beliefs. No matter how long you you have struggled or how difficult your situation, we can work together to transform your pain into empowerment, inner peace, and hope. Please feel free to contact me to discuss your particular concerns or schedule an appointment. You don't have to struggle alone.

Dr. Marcus believes that effective therapy is more than just talking about your problems. Many of us talk to our friends about our problems. Afterwards, we may feel better, but eventually we still find ourselves stuck in the problem. This is when you might consider working with a therapist. A good therapist can help you move beyond just talking about the problem. This is done by exploring not only what you think, but how you feel and how thoughts and feelings influence one another. Change begins to occur when you can clearly see the way your thoughts, feelings and life experiences have lead you to make choices that have been problematic. The hardest part is then working with your therapist to come up with different ways to handle life's challenges despite what you are used to feeling, thinking or doing. The Sex Therapy process is very similar to that experienced with other mental health practitioners. The Certified Sex Therapist will meet with the person as an individual or with a couple in an office setting where an extensive history of the concerns will be taken. The Certified Sex Therapist will note both the psychological and the physical components and will establish one or more diagnoses. After this, a treatment plan will be proposed, usually with your involvement in its development. In some instances, the Certified Sex Therapist may work closely with the person’s physician, nurse, or other therapist or counselor to establish causes and remedies for the problems. In no instances will a Certified Sex Therapist engage in any kind of sexual activity with a therapy patient/client, whether in the office or in any location. Don't let embarrassment or shame prevent you from seeking help and having the kind of sex life you desire. For those of you in relationship, think back to the time when you first met your partner. You saw him/her across the room, and something inside you said, she/he is the one. There was a sense of excitement and passion in you. You eventually meet and start dating. Eventually you start having sex and its passionate and really hot. Eventually you become a committed couple (for straight couples it may even lead to engagement and marriage). Romantic love, is natures way of bringing people together. Unfortunately, this phase does not last. Sometimes, power struggles may get in the way. The good news is that most of the power struggles we have can be overcome. Power struggles are opportunities for growth. They represent the issues we have yet to resolve from our childhood. If we can just put our reactivity on hold, engage in a constructive, safe and open dialogue with our partner, we will eventually see that the conflict dissolves. In couples therapy, Dr. Marcus works with clients on how to communicate and connect in a deep way. It is through understanding and connection that couples regain that romantic feeling and rekindle the passion that was once there in the early phase of the relationship.

I want you to know that by taking the time to seek out assistance for your distress on my page, you have already made the first and most important step toward improving your life. Therapy can be an invigorating, challenging, and illuminating journey in which you have the chance to learn more about yourself, heal old wounds, as well as improve on important relationships. My firm belief is that change doesn’t need to take forever; I will help you find the insight and awareness you most need to move forward in your life. You will experience achieving a dramatically higher quality of life in the utmost caring and non-judgmental environment through discovering your inner strengths and effective coping skills. Choosing a therapist you really connect to is one of the most important decisions you can make. I believe that the therapist should assume an active role throughout the therapeutic process rather than remain a passive participant, yet the session is not about me … it’s your time. Unlike many therapists, I believe that direct feedback is an essential part of the journey and when appropriate, I provide answers to questions as they are presented. If you're not sure exactly what you need, or you want to talk more about how we might work together, I offer all new clients a FREE consultation. Contact me today and we'll see if we are a good fit. Besides face-to-face Psychotherapy sessions, I offer online Psychotherapy, in which I teach clients specific strategies for working with emotional stress through a combination of email correspondence and Skype sessions.

Do you finally want to address a substance abuse or other addiction problem? I have a vast amount of experience working with people and their families who suffer from a variety of addictions such as drug and alcohol abuse, sexual addiction, eating disorders, and compulsive gambling. I also see individuals, couples, and families for a variety of other issues such as depression, anxiety, and stress management. In a safe, supportive, confidential atmosphere, we can work together to address many of your life issues previously mentioned. I primarily work with adults but also see adolescents who present with alcohol and drug issues. I believe addiction to be primarily a disease of the brain, which means people suffering from them should always be treated with respect and care. I use Motivational Enhancement therapy with my clients which mean we are partners in the therapeutic process working toward a goal of life improvement and self-enjoyment.

While it is difficult to face the idea of change, it is a necessary part of life. We think about change when we’re in crisis, and when we’re stuck in a place we don’t want to stay in. Whether you’re in crisis or stuck, the therapists at Personal Evolution can help. We provide effective, non-judgmental therapy for an affordable price. Don’t hesitate to get help because you’re afraid of being judged or because you’re scared. We provide adherent DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) and can help with anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, self-harm, communication issues, relationship issues and other emotional issues. We specialize in working with the LGBTQ community and are specifically trained and competent to provide Gender Therapy to people who are trans*, including transmen, transwomen, genderqueer, bigender, non-binary, questioning, or gender fluid.

If you’re in a relationship that you value and want to keep, but don’t know how, we can help. If you have a hard time identifying and experiencing your emotions, and frequently use ineffective behaviors such as self-harm, drugs/alcohol, impulsive shopping or gambling, or sex to block them out, we can help. If you find yourself apologizing frequently for these behaviors that you’d like to stop, we can help. If you want to be a better you, we can help by decreasing the behaviors that cause you problems in your life. We do have weekend and evening hours available.

I approach my patients with quiet confidence, intelligence, respect, and concern. My job is to help you determine quickly if we are a good match and tailor my therapeutic approach to your needs. While therapy is a collaborative effort, I am frequently able to uncover repetitive patterns of self-defeating behavior rapidly. it is usually possible to give new patients a sense of direction and reason to believe in the possibility of a better future. I am expert in both cognitive/behavioral and psychodynamic forms of treatment. I also employ mindfulness-based practices when appropriate. Trained at Northwestern University, I was named the "featured therapist" of the Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies. My therapeutic approach varies depending upon what you need. One size doesn't fit all. Some people need a more supportive approach (to get over grief, for example). Others need a more active approach to allow their core beliefs about what is important in life to become consistent with how they lead their life. Ultimately, for all of us, this is a path that creates the greatest possibility of fulfillment. Life's journey requires us all to keep learning along the way. While therapy needn't be life long, being open to change is essential. New situations, in work or relationships or just in the form of getting older, challenge us to find new solutions. Therapy can be a place to start. If you'd like to find out more about me, a good place to start is my blog.

I primarily provide for the counseling needs of professionals at all levels, and offer intelligent, insightful, creative, outside-the-box, solution-focused and long-term therapy with complete discretion and confidentiality. My work focuses on helping clients enjoy more satisfying and meaningful lives. Issues I commonly help people resolve include life and career transitions, anxiety and depression, feelings of emptiness, stress management, as well as many others. Former and current clients have described me as "easy to talk to," "a wonderful listener," "someone who it feels safe to talk with," "easy to be open with, and nonjudgmental," "empathic and understanding," and most commonly of all "someone who thinks outside the box." Most of my career counseling relationships last at least a few months, but it is usually helpful to stay in regular contact with your career counselor or coach even after your objectives are determined and any mental obstacles preventing the achievement of your goals are removed. As we move along our paths in life, we often have to deal with unanticipated challenges, and correct our courses accordingly. Having someone around to keep us on track as we face those challenges is an immense asset. My clients determine where they would like to be more aligned with their life purpose, and ultimately learn to craft the solutions to any problems facing them. But several decades of experience have led me to understand that helping clients with "career issues" requires me to address and manage a wide variety of career-related issues. Because of this, I have also helped numerous clients: Create a satisfying balance between work and the rest of life; Stay focused on work while dealing with emotional issues (such as grief, divorce, or difficulties with children); Find time and outlets for other needs (such as community involvement, creativity, spirituality); Resolve conflicts and issues in the workplace; Learn the communication and conflict management skills necessary for employees and supervisors; Relieve work-induced tension and stress; Manage job changes and changing work environments; Decide whether to stay in a job or find a new one; Deal with workplace disabilities; Make decisions regarding self-employment and entrepreneurship; and Address the numerous financial issues and concerns that arise around these topics. If you feel you could use a professional partner to address any of the aforementioned issues... If you have questions about the nature of the work you do, how it impacts your life, and how you can successfully transition your career so it becomes an expression of your life purpose contact me. As Robert Frost said, "(for only when) work is play for mortal stakes is the deed ever really done for heaven and the future's sakes."
