Finding Clarity and Balance
Stress Management
My stress management sessions are designed to teach clients practical skills and strategies to manage stress more effectively. I help clients identify the sources of their stress and develop mental and emotional flexibility to reduce the impact of stress on their daily lives.
Anxiety Treatment
Anxiety treatment sessions are designed to help clients overcome anxiety disorders, such as generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and social anxiety disorder. I use evidence-based treatments, such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) or Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), to help clients address their symptoms and develop long-term life skills.
Depression Treatment
Depression treatment sessions are designed to help clients overcome depression and improve mental health and well-being. I use evidence-based treatments, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), to help clients address symptoms and develop long-term strategies that enable you to live a life of meaning and purpose.
Life Transitions
Life transitions sessions help clients navigate major life changes, such as divorce, retirement, or career changes. I provide clients with the support and guidance they need to move through these transitions with confidence and clarity.
Self-Esteem and Confidence
Self-esteem and confidence sessions help clients build a positive self-image and develop greater confidence in themselves and their abilities. I help clients identify negative self-talk and belief patterns and replace them with more accurate, positive and empowering ones.
Mind-Body Wellness
Mind-body wellness sessions help clients cultivate greater awareness of the mind-body connection and develop practices to support their overall health and well-being. I offer a range of mind-body techniques, such as mindfulness based stress reduction (MBSR) and meditation, to help clients reduce stress, improve sleep, and enhance their overall quality of life.
About Marc Kossmann, PsyD
Dr. Marc Kossmann is a Clinical Psychologist dedicated to helping individuals understand themselves better and find creative ways to lead meaningful and purposeful lives. Growing up in a complex, multi-cultural family, Dr. Kossmann developed an early fascination with the workings of the human mind. His upbringing in a bilingual household, with Italian as the primary language at home, and the influence of his father's experiences during WWII, deeply shaped his understanding of trauma and resilience.
Dr. Kossmann initially embarked on a pre-law path during his undergraduate studies at New York University. However, a growing interest in psychology courses led him to pursue a career in psychology. By his senior year, he was already immersed in graduate-level classes, having taken every undergraduate psychology course available. This unexpected shift in focus ultimately led him to obtain his Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) degree from Widener University’s Institute for Graduate Clinical Psychology.
Dr. Kossmann's approach to therapy is heavily influenced by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), grounded in a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) framework, while always considering the larger psychodynamic context of a client's life. He believes in working collaboratively with his clients, recognizing them as the ultimate experts in their own lives. With over 30 years of clinical experience, Dr. Kossmann brings a wealth of general knowledge and practical expertise, ensuring that treatment is a joint effort between therapist and client.

He finds immense fulfillment in case consultation and supervision, which allows him to multiply his impact within the field.
Dr. Kossmann’s journey as a clinician has been significantly influenced by his early exposure to Eastern philosophy and mindfulness practices. His involvement in martial arts training led him to mindfulness meditation, where he participated in multiple intensive retreats, including those with renowned teachers such as Thich Nhat Hanh and Jon Kabat-Zinn. These experiences have had a lasting impact on his therapeutic approach, reinforcing his belief in the importance of mindfulness and the holistic well-being of his clients.
