This month, our Member Spotlight is on Mark Stewart, LMFT-A! Mark is the owner of Cascade Therapy, LLC and specializes in working with couples and individuals with relationship concerns. After a previous career in corporate real estate, Mark understands the pressure of big decision moments and feels passionate about helping couples navigate stressful relationship challenges.
Mark brings a genuine kindness, warmth, and non-judgmental understanding to his work with clients and to his collaboration with colleagues at the Collective!
A few things about Mark:
*What do you enjoy most about your job?*
"Assisting people who are facing struggles, uncertainties and feelings of crisis; it is gratifying to help client’s find their own “I got this” confidence."
*What refuels you outside of work?*
"I enjoy being outdoors and completing physically demanding projects. Sometimes I even like to just relax and ponder life in our world – past, present and future. Mostly, I cherish my time in my own relationship with my partner."
*What would you tell your younger self about your career now?*
"My younger self would have never imagined this career path. The only through line might be a willingness to push myself and imagine future possibilities where I felt some uncertainty in the moment – basically, learning to lean into resiliency. Life is full of twists, turns, and setbacks (these are an unavoidable part of life, and sometimes open new, previously unimaginable vistas); my young self was confident my path would be visible throughout. Haha!"
*What advice would you give to a new therapist?*
"Network with your peers and your larger social communities. Find ways to engage and participate in activities with others as being a helper in sessions can feel isolating; and on occasion can be weighty and draining."
*What has being a member at CCC been like for you?*
"I enjoy the camaraderie, the sense of shared mission and the sense of relaxed professionalism which one can feel everywhere."
