Michael R. Newmark, Psy.D. 1049 4th Street, Santa Rosa, CA 95404

"I'd like to thank Michael Newmark for his diligent help over 8 years through the hardest times. Michael made such a difficult time bearable, helped me build a tool box to tackle the hard days and was patient, kind, and flexible. Starting the process to get help can always be intimidating and scary at times. Finding a therapist that you vibe with can be a lengthy process until you come across the right one. Michael Newmark was definitely that person for me and I am honored to recommend him to others!"

"Michael is the most wonderful therapist! We met once a week for two and half years, and he worked with me through an eating disorder and trauma related to a horrible accident that has physically changed my body. It’s hard to say one is cured from an ED and trauma, but Michael has given me a toolbox of resources that I can tap into if I find myself slipping into old habits or in tough situations. I am in the best spot I have ever been with my relationship to food, and while my relationship with my trauma is constantly evolving, the tools he has given me have proven time and time again that they are relevant and diverse enough to cover any situation. There are not enough words in the world to describe how fantastic Michael is as a therapist (and I imagine he’s a pretty stellar human, too). Without fail, Michael showed up to every session ready to listen, coach, ask really thoughtful and insightful questions, and I was always amazed at his grace and ease through each session. As a woman, I originally was skeptical about pursuing therapy with a male, but never once did I feel uncomfortable with Michael in discussing anything I needed. He showed the utmost respect for my lived experiences and never challenged them. I can not recommend Michael highly enough to anyone seeking therapy. I know without a doubt he will help you in anyway he can, and by the end of a few sessions, you’ll wonder if y’all were friends in a past life!"

"I am Incredibly thankful to have found Michael at a time in my life that Chronic Illness had taken over every aspect of my life. Through our sessions together, I gained prospective and strength as he taught me new techniques to navigate the pain, both emotionally and physically. His calm demeanor and natural ability to reassure me when insecurities sneak up have lead me to trust that my sessions with him will leave me calm, validated, and confident that i can and will be ok. Knowing i have michael in my corner, and genuinely caring about my mental health and my heart makes life so much easier to navigate. I am forever grateful."

"My favorite therapist ever. :-)"
