Mark Sikora

Mark Sikora is a licensed clinical social worker with long experience helping people navigate hard times. He works with concerns such as depression, anxiety, grief, stress, addictions, and sleep difficulties. He approaches clients with respect and a steady presence as they take steps toward better rest and daily functioning.

Mark believes people know their own story and brings a practical orientation to sessions. He listens first, then helps identify patterns that get in the way of rest and recovery. He encourages small, doable changes that fit into everyday life rather than big, sudden overhauls.

With four decades of professional experience, Mark draws on several approaches to match what each person needs. He uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help clients notice thoughts without getting stuck. He also applies cognitive tools to shift unhelpful thinking and client-centered listening to build trust in the room.

He aims to help people manage sleep disruption alongside other concerns like trauma, relationship strain, parenting stress, and chronic health issues. Sessions commonly focus on improving routines, coping skills, and problem-solving for day-to-day barriers to rest.

Mark practices in Washington and conducts sessions in English. He values collaboration and helps people set goals that are realistic for their lives.
