Mark Deterding, Triune Leadership Services

An expert who actually cares. I definitely recommend.

Dr. Todd Ferguson, Prairie Naturopathic Doctors

Mark has taught me so much about EMDR and he is definitely an EMDR expert. His approach is very compassionate and straightforward so I was able to process my anxiety around using EMDR and be confident with my clinical skills. I’d recommend him as a therapist and supervisor to anyone!



Hong Jeong - LCSW, Jeong Therapy

Their clients’ faith and spirituality is fully explored and considered as an integral piece of their mental health and functioning. I recommend Mark…without reservation.

Pastor Cristoph Schmidt, Grace Lutheran Church

Mark is one of the most talented humans I know… After four hours of sharing my life stories with Mark, he was able to see how everything connected and helped me craft my life’s mission statement: “Freeing others to fiercely pursue their purpose”.



John Koch, Tomoson / SoStocked

Mark is an extremely talented, enjoyable person and a gifted therapist, and I would not hesitate to refer my closest family and friends to him.
