Some things that may be desired by people who see me for therapy are: trust in self, increased satisfaction ...
I am Mark Shoaf and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Coach in Fox Chapel. Counseling is my second career.

The ultimate goal is for you to feel empowered in your life and to have HOPE. Changing or healing often require learning new skills so my approach is as much about coaching as ...

It can be difficult to navigate finding mental health care, but you’ve made it this far. I view my role as holding a warm space for us to explore what is working and not working for you in your life. Most of us weren’t taught how to experience our emotions mindfully and respond with intention. It makes sense that many of us struggle with responding to our emotions compassionately. I may help you identify, understand, and accept difficult internal experiences while taking meaningful action in you...
I’ve always been tuned in to the small things—tone, body language, and the pauses between words. What once helped me stay safe has become one of my greatest strengths as a therapist: noticing what’s unspoken and creating a space where people feel seen, not judged. I work especially well with young adults who are learning to trust their own rhythms. Together, we explore how the body and mind communicate—those swings between feeling “on” and completely shut down—and find a steadier middle ground. ...

Looking for something different in life, but unsure of how to get there? Together, we can open up new possibilities through mutual exploration. Attending to the therapeutic relationship is key in my approach to therapy, and I provide an empathic and safe environment that allows for exploration of experiences that may feel threatening or uncomfortable. My style of therapy draws from a blend of humanistic, constructivist, existential, relational, and psychodynamic approaches. I will work with ...
My experiences stem from working with children of all ages within a variety of educational and therapeutic settings that ultimately led towards my work with at-risk children as a Family Based Therapist. Working hands on with families in their homes within authentic and relational setting(s) (i.e., home and community) had shaped my learning experiences and identified my growth as a person and a therapist. My work prepared me to differentiate my therapeutic approaches and enable connections that...
