Hi, I’m Markus Provence, PhD. I work with individuals and couples navigating grief, trauma, relationship struggles, identity exploration, and life transitions. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in cultural awareness. I draw from evidence-based practices like IFS, EFT, and ACT, tailoring therapy to support your unique goals. At the core of my work is a belief in the power of connection, both within yourself and in your relationships, as a path toward meaningful, lasting change.

Licensed Psychologist (he, his)
- Appointments: Both in-person and telehealth
- Manage Medications: Provides therapy and collaborates closely with our psychiatry team for medication management, available through internal referral if needed.
I’m a clinical psychologist with over ten years of experience helping individuals and couples move through grief, trauma, anxiety, and relationship struggles. I have a particular interest in working with issues related to attachment, identity, loss, and life meaning. I strive to approach every client with openness and humility, honoring the cultural and personal experiences that shape who you are.
In therapy, I focus on building a relationship where you feel safe, seen, and heard. From there, we explore the patterns, experiences, and internal narratives that may be keeping you stuck, while also identifying what brings you energy, connection, and hope. Whether you’re working through the loss of a loved one, struggling to express your full self, or wanting deeper satisfaction in relationships, I’m here to help you move toward clarity and healing.
I draw from approaches like Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), integrating them in a way that feels natural and collaborative. My goal is to help you connect more fully with yourself and others, and to support you as you shape the next chapter of your life.
