Mark Wagemaker , LPC

Mark Wagemaker is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 18 years of experience supporting people who are ready to create meaningful change in their lives. He works with individuals motivated by personal insight or external encouragement to pursue a more fulfilling path, meeting each person where they are and tailoring work to their goals and readiness. Mark frequently uses Accelerated Resolution Therapy and hypnotherapy as primary tools when addressing trauma, post-traumatic stress, and adverse childhood experiences, applying those methods to reduce distress and move toward recovery.

His clinical focus includes PTSD and trauma-related presentations that often show up as unexplained anxiety, depression, or physical symptoms without a clear medical cause. He also helps clients impacted by accumulations of adverse childhood events that may not have been recognized as abuse but still affect emotional and relational functioning. Mark emphasizes rapid, practical interventions alongside longer-term support to help clients navigate crises and regain stability.

Mark views each person as unique and honors their individual journey. His practice is informed by formal training, life experience, education, and Christian roots, and he aims to offer tools that help people release burdens and find personal direction. He works with a broad range of concerns including relationships, grief, addictions, first responder and veteran issues, career and life purpose, and compassion fatigue.
