Support for where you are
A path to where you want to be
See your way forward.
If you’re here, chances are something isn’t working in your life the way you wish it would. Maybe you feel stuck in familiar patterns, overwhelmed by emotions, or caught in a cycle that keeps repeating no matter how hard you try to change it.
I offer a space of careful listening, honesty, and acceptance—where you can speak freely and be met with respect. Together, we’ll name what’s causing unnecessary suffering and gently make room for the possibility that things really can be different. As humans, we’re remarkably good at piling extra pain on ourselves. We struggle, then blame ourselves or our circumstances, and end up stuck in the same loops—emotionally, relationally, and even physically. Often it feels like a tangled knot you carry in your body.
I believe that beneath that knot is an inner wisdom that knows how to heal. This wise knowing saw how the knot was tied and has the understanding of how to loosen it. My role is to help you reconnect with your innate intelligence. We’ll work toward finding your center and listening to what truly matters to you, so that you can move toward more freedom, clarity, and a life that feels worth living.
Therapy can lead to real, meaningful change. There are many paths, and we’ll find what fits you, whether that includes mindfulness, EMDR, somatic work, or other approaches I have learned. I’ve walked my own path of facing difficult truths and inner darkness, and I’m not afraid to name things as they are. We can face things together. I believe that what you’re looking for is already within you, and I’ll walk alongside you as you learn how to trust and follow that inner guidance.
WiseMind Therapy Clients
“Over the months that I’ve been Mark’s client, he has provided knowledgeable feedback in a compassionate manner in every session. Each hour helped me gain more insight and ability to work through my emotions and improve my relationships. I trust him to help me reach my goals for a more peaceful and joyful life. If you’re reading this review, you’re probably looking for high quality therapy. I recommend Mark to you without reservations.” - Diane
“My husband and I have recommended mark to another couple who used him for marriage counseling like we did. Mark’s value lies in quickly getting to the heart of the real issue. He asks the right questions and both my husband and I trusted him from the beginning. We used two other marriage counsellors in the past and their approach was fine but it took quite awhile to discover what our issues were and their “solutions” didn’t seem to address our core problems of communication. I think Mark’s approach is based more in emotionally focused therapy (EFT). Highly recommended. One Mark session is like three regular counseling sessions- so it is affordable too!” - Christine
“Mark makes you feel comfortable while getting to the heart of your problems and crafting workable solutions. Truly insightful, knowledgeable, understanding yet very directed in providing guidance as to what needs to get done. No word count could ever allow me to use all the superlatives I could in reference to Mark and what his therapy has done for me. Real blessing!” - Kendall
“I saw Mark for a series of sessions for some panic issues I had been working on for many years. Every session was amazing and my panic is now gone except for occasional low level rumble that passes quickly. I have seen five different therapists over my 81 years. He is the best.” - Rev. Paul
“I could not have a better therapist! Mark Thomas McGonigle is ever so patient, smart, knowledgeable, kind, friendly, and best of all he has a marvelous sense of humor. In the months I have worked with Mark Thomas, I have made great progress in gaining a much needed sense of self, never feeling put upon to do what I don’t want to do. Rather he and I together have found ways to work through my problems that are effective and enjoyable for both of us.” - Sandra
