Mark J. Kriezis

Mark J. Kriezis is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Massachusetts with eight years of clinical experience. He works with people across the lifespan, offering culturally responsive and trauma-informed care to adolescents, adults in midlife, older adults, and members of the LGBTQ community. With a focus on empowerment, he approaches therapy as a collaborative process - helping clients identify their strengths, stabilize during times of acute distress, and build sustainable coping strategies for long-term growth.

Kriezis helps clients address a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, anger, self-esteem, career challenges, and ADHD, while also supporting issues such as abandonment and attachment difficulties, blended family dynamics, communication problems, substance and process addictions, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation, life purpose, men's issues, veteran and armed forces matters, mood and personality disorders, and forgiveness work. He combines flexibility across developmental stages with a commitment to culturally affirming practice, meeting people where they are and adapting interventions to each person’s background and identity.

To bridge immediate stabilization and ongoing personal development, he uses an evidence-based toolkit that includes crisis intervention, motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, and behavior modification. His role is to facilitate clients' exploration and decision-making so they can confidently pursue meaningful change aligned with their goals and values.
