Mark Roman, MA

Mark holds a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology and a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and English, and is currently pursuing his Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology. Before entering the mental health field, Mark taught high school Literature and Psychology, where he discovered his passion for helping students develop self-awareness and resilience. He also spent three years coaching middle and high school basketball, mentoring student-athletes to grow both on and off the court.

Mark’s clinical experience spans partial hospitalization, outpatient, and private practice settings, where he has worked with adolescents presenting with a range of challenges. His therapeutic approach is grounded in Humanistic and Existential theories, integrating elements of Narrative Therapy, CBT, DBT, ACT, Personal Construct Theory, and IFS. Mark believes deeply in curating interventions that reflect each client’s individuality—tapping into their strengths, interests, and unique personhood to build rapport and promote authentic growth.

At Wonder, Mark is drawn to the organization’s individualized and holistic model, which allows him to support adolescents in navigating identity, self-esteem, life transitions, mood disorders, trauma, and ADHD. He has a particular passion for working with young men experiencing depression, anxiety, and trauma, helping them heal from past pain and rediscover their sense of agency and purpose.

Outside of his clinical work, Mark is an avid basketball fan and player, a lifelong learner, and an enthusiastic reader of classic literature. He also enjoys exploring new music—especially rock and rap—and has developed a growing interest in film. Mark prides himself on his collaborative, open-minded, and flexible approach, always striving to advocate for his clients’ needs and support them in becoming their most authentic selves.
