Most of the clients I work with feel things deeply. They might worry a lot, get overwhelmed easily, or feel stuck when friendships or school start to feel hard. Some feel misunderstood at home or unsure how to explain what’s going on inside. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. I help clients slow things down, talk through what’s weighing on them, and find ways to feel more confident and steady again.

If you’re someone who looks like they have it together but feels overwhelmed on the inside, you’re probably a good fit here. Many of the people I work best with are students or young adults navigating big changes like college, new jobs, relationships, or figuring out who they are outside of family expectations. You might struggle with anxiety, overthinking, or feeling unsure of yourself, especially when it comes to setting boundaries or making decisions. If you’re tired of second-guessing yourself and want support that feels real, encouraging, and practical, I’d love to work with you.

Most of the people I work best with feel like life is moving fast and they are struggling to keep up. They might be anxious, overwhelmed, or carrying a lot of feelings they do not quite know how to explain. Some are students feeling pressure from school or friendships. Some are young adults trying to figure out their next step. Others are kids who feel big emotions and need help understanding what is going on inside. If you tend to overthink, feel stressed easily, or feel like your emotions sometimes take over, you are not alone. I work well with clients who want support, understanding, and simple tools that actually help in real life. Therapy with me is a place to slow down, talk honestly, and start feeling more confident handling whatever comes next.

I specialize in eating disorders and trauma. I work mostly with women and college students suffering from depression and anxiety. I do EMDR and have a background in art therapy. I’m only working virtually at present.

You're showing up to class, turning in the assignments, smiling in the group chat — and falling apart the second you're alone. If you're exhausted from holding it together for everyone but yourself, you're not broken. You're carrying more than anyone can see, and it's time someone helped you put it down. At Peace-Filled, we work with college students navigating the pressure to perform — academically, socially, online, and at home. Whether it's anxiety that won't switch off, a depression you've gotten good at hiding, family expectations that don't leave room for who you actually are, or a past you haven't had the space to process — we get it, and we know how to help you move through it. Our therapists are diverse, culturally grounded, and trained in trauma-focused care. We don't hand you generic coping tips and call it a day. We help you understand why you feel stuck, build the tools to actually change it, and walk with you while you do — virtually or in person, on your schedule. You don't have to have it all figured out to reach out. You just have to be ready to feel lighter.

I am Mark Shoaf and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Coach in Fox Chapel. Counseling is my second career.

Our sessions will be engaging. I perform improv comedy in Pittsburgh. I think the ability to laugh is a key skill in coping and I use laughter in my therapy.

College life can feel like a lot sometimes. It’s “supposed” to be fun, but there’s often so much to navigate that it ends up feeling overwhelming. I often work with students dealing with anxiety, relationship stress, and social or family worries — whether that means overthinking, feeling unsure in friendships or dating, or trying to make sense of complicated dynamics. Many students come in wanting to understand their reactions and emotions, and to feel more in control of their anxiety so it doesn’t interfere with their college experience. In our sessions, I’m committed to creating a warm, supportive space where you can feel safe exploring your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. With patience and careful listening, I offer insights and guidance in a gentle, thoughtful, and non-judgmental way. Together, we’ll slow things down so you can make sense of what’s happening beneath the stress — the patterns, experiences, and dynamics that shape how you think, feel, and relate to others. My goal is to help you feel understood, supported, and more grounded, so you can move through college with greater confidence and a stronger connection to yourself.

I weave a holistic mindfulness approach throughout my therapeutic work by incorporating mind-body awareness practices such as breathwork, meditation, and relaxation techniques. These techniques aim to increase the client’s sense of well-being, decrease stress, improve confidence, allow for new perspectives, and restore balance to the client’s life.
