Mark DeRuiter
I believe in a person-centered, empathetic and compassionate approach to the therapeutic relationship. Using evidence based practices applied from a Christian perspective, I will work with you to achieve ongoing and permanent, positive change in your life and relationships. Integrating a faith perspective into the counseling process is something that I think is important for healing. Therapy can be difficult at times and you may be challenged or confronted with change in certain areas but the goal will always be positive personal growth and healing.
Mark is a licensed professional counselor.
