ABOUT MARC ZOLA, LMFT, PSYCHOTHERAPIST

Managing anxiety and improving relationships at home or at work often requires a counterintuitive approach to treatment.  Marc is an approved Clinical Supervisor and AAMFT Clinical fellow as well as a former psychotherapy instructor at the University of Oregon's Couples & Family Therapy program. As the Founder Emeritus of one of the Pacific Northwest's largest mental health group practices, he now focuses his work on the treatment of relationship issues of all kinds, for adults in Oregon and Washington State. 

For over 20 years, Marc has worked in the mental health field, dedicating much of his clinical career to developing a more practical approach to the treatment of anxiety and the enhancement of relationships at home and in organizations. He focuses on assisting individuals, couples, families, and business owners in understanding how attachment and unresolved issues influence their decision-making processes, their self-relationships, and their interpersonal connections. Marc's overarching objective is to facilitate the resolution of issues in a timelier manner, often without the necessity for long-term treatment. Achieving this goal necessitates the application of a direct and candid treatment approach, which is a hallmark of his clinical practice, always delivered with care and a focus on the client's objectives.

Marc's approach begins with a fundamental step: Developing a profound understanding of who you are. He is committed to delving into what drives you and understanding the genuine priorities in your life. The focus is on reaching and honoring the core of your authentic self to gain insight into the factors that may be hindering your progress.

Once your true self has been uncovered, there is no sugarcoating. Marc will collaborate with you to pinpoint the barriers that have impeded progress. He undertakes the role of a no-nonsense challenger, providing guidance and steadfast support, all with the aim of enabling you to build the family, business, and life you have always envisioned.

Whether in parenting, family dynamics, intimate relationships, or business interactions, achieving a balance between love/kindness and well-defined boundaries is crucial. It's the underpinning of wellbeing. While it may sound straightforward, effectively implementing this balance can be challenging. Having someone to help guide you through this process of developing a template for day to day living can help you reduce worry, gain confidence, and foster authentic kindness in your interactions with yourself and others.
