Mark Travers, PhD, a psychologist with expertise in relationships. The lead psychologist for Awake Therapy, he’s spent much of his professional career unpacking what makes strong connections tick. Pulling from his knowledge and professional endeavors, Travers dives deeper into the elements that create long-term, fruitful unions. His perspective, especially his research on the so-called “Michelangelo effect,” provides important advice to people trying to improve their romantic connections.
Travers’ expertise comes from his 20-year background in psychology and his practice working with couples at Awake Therapy. Awake Therapy is a women-owned telehealth company that offers online psychotherapy, counseling and coaching virtually to clients across the United States. His experience is grounded by degrees from Cornell University and the University of Colorado Boulder. In addition, Travers curates Therapytips.org, a leading mental health and wellness resource site.
Travers also provides online psychotherapy, counseling, and coaching through Awake Therapy. He brings this expertise to a wide range of clients including Olympic and professional athletes, Broadway performers, and more. His new approach, based on a mixture of science and personal experience, focuses on raising awareness of human connection and developing positive communication habits.
One other idea Travers has popularized that lies at the heart of their success is the “Michelangelo effect.” This process is what makes up an amazing relationship.
At Awake Therapy, Travers applies that academic know-how to address practical problems. His mission is to empower people to solve the challenges of relationships and deepen their intimacy with the one they love. He practices online consultations through Awake Therapy.
