Mark Licitra

When life becomes difficult, people do not have to face those challenges alone. Mark Licitra joins clients on their path toward well-being, believing in the inner strengths each person brings and helping to channel those resources toward clear goals.

Mark cultivates a collaborative, eclectic, and solution-focused approach. His manner is calm and conversational, and he tailors support to each individual rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.

With 16 years of clinical experience, Mark uses a range of evidence-informed methods, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, motivational interviewing, and behavioral activation to address presenting concerns.

He works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship difficulties, anger management challenges, career issues, and bipolar disorder. He also has a strong interest in spiritual matters and is comfortable supporting clients who bring faith-related questions or struggles into therapy.

Mark earned a Bachelor of Social Work in 2004 from Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and a Master of Social Work in 2009 from Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He is a licensed clinical social worker, holding clinical social work licensure in both Hawaii and Washington.

Outside of his professional life, Mark is a parent of four daughters and a lifelong musician. He enjoys baking bread, gardening, spending time in forests, following baseball, and riding his bike when possible. He also experiments in the kitchen from time to time, and some of those experiments do not end well.
