MEET MARK
Twenty years of this work, and still curious about it.
I'm Mark Levine, a Licensed Independent Chemical Dependency Counselor and Clinical Supervisor (LICDC-CS) based in Cincinnati, working entirely by telehealth. I spent years treating people with substance addictions and became, along the way, a student and then a teacher of mindfulness — because the people I worked with needed something to do with the moment between a trigger and a decision.
I run marathons. I wrote a rock musical about heroin addiction. Whether you're the one struggling or the one watching, change is still available, and I'd like to help you find it.
I named this practice Minds at Peace years ago, when I was mostly teaching mindfulness. It turned out to fit this work better than the work I named it for. A house with addiction in it has no peace in it, and getting some back — for the person using, and for everyone else in the house — is the whole point.
Discovery, not recovery.
Recovery points backward, toward a self you're meant to retrieve. For most people that self was never especially well. The alternative is a frame — and a year of daily questions — built on meeting someone you haven't met yet.
