I cannot diagnose (I am not a Dr.) - But I can assess and make suggestions to your Dr.

What's the difference - 

Diagnosis is the identification and naming of a disease, illness or condition. It is commonly acknowledged that diagnosis is the hardest part of medicine. In the United States only a licensed medical professional is legally allowed to make a diagnosis.

Assessment, on the other hand, is an evaluation made by a healthcare provider to make an informed decision on whether or not to provide service, and if yes, what approach to take.

Mark graduated Tripp Bible Institute  with a Associate of Christian Counseling on February 11, 2011 and a Bachelor of Arts in Christian Counseling in June 13, 2014.    Since he was young, his dream has always been to help others throughout their journey in life, thus his interest in topics surrounding Psychology, Sociology, and the overall human condition. He is thrilled to utilized his interests and passion to assist others on their  paths. 

   Mark's hobbies include playing with his dog, walks with clients, listening to music, spending time with loved ones, attending Church at Sparta Baptist and watching N.C.I.S.
