Welcome to Square one
Square One Counseling is a quiet, steady space for people who need to start over — or start telling the truth about where they are. I offer presence, listening, and practical wisdom shaped by decades of chaplaincy, trauma-informed care, and lived experience. No pressure. No performance. Just a place to breathe and begin again.
What I Offer
One-on-one conversations
Gentle, grounded, and honest.
Spiritual companionship
Scripture-rooted, presence-centered, never pushy.
Discernment support
For seasons of transition, loss, or rebuilding.
Trauma-informed care
Slow, steady, and safe.
My Approach
People don’t need fixing — they need presence.
I meet you where you are, without judgment, and walk with you at a pace that honors your story. My work is shaped by chaplaincy, Christian counseling, and the long road of my own healing journey.
About Mark
I’m a retired chaplain and Christian counselor whose ministry has always been porch-side: honest, warm, and quietly resilient. I’ve spent my life sitting with people in storms, helping them find their footing again. Square One is simply the next expression of that calling.
