About me
I am a couples counselor who focuses on the relationship in counseling and how it illustrates relationship issues in the couple, the opportunity to solve problems, provide empathetic space for you both to feel heard, and even laugh about the absurdity of joining your life with someone. You'll find that I am often straightforward and all about processing tough feelings and complicated ideas but I find so much joy in "meeting people where they are at" and matching your needs to the best of my strengths. \
I do not take sides and I welcome open challenge to when people feel I am offering too much space to one cause or the other.
I am largely a relational, cognitive behavioral, dialectal behavioral, and solution oriented counselor but I can mix and match a number of others styles. The biggest thing you might want to know about me is that I have a driving motto of counseling: "Nothing wasted, everything is valuable." This means that I find the "why?" behind everything small and large to be powerful indicators of what we can best due to serve you. In my couples work I focus on communication, sexual wellness and connectivity, kink and dynamic issues, and maintaining togetherness.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
Allons-Y!

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Marcus Birch. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Regain might be different.
Marcus has exceeded our expectations as our first couples therapist! He is great at remaining neutral. Has been perfect for our issues around sexuality differences and LGBTQ topics. Would highly recommend!!
