I'm the Therapist You've Been Looking For

(waves hand mysteriously)

  1. » Unique Qualifications

    I bring together Yale and UCSD clinical training with hands-on tech industry experience as a builder, coder, and project manager. This distinctive combination – along with my personal journey through entrepreneurship, career transitions, marriage, and parenting – adds real-world depth to my therapeutic approach. Licensed psychologist (PSY25695) based in Alameda, serving the East Bay and clients statewide by video.

    I specialize in complex cases, including dual diagnosis, trauma, dissociation, and suicidal ideation. My experience includes seamless coordination with psychiatrists to ensure comprehensive care for clients with challenging needs.

  3. » Therapeutically Versatile

    I draw from multiple proven approaches to address both immediate concerns and deeper healing: behavioral techniques (CBT, ACT), trauma-focused methods (TIST, IFS, Ego States, Flash Technique), attachment-focused relationship work (EFT), and advanced integration practices (Clinical Hypnosis).

  4. » Genuinely Accessible

    I maintain a relaxed, authentic style in therapy – from casual dress to first-name basis (your choice). My office is designed for comfort, complete with a cool stereo. When it serves your growth, I share relevant personal insights from my own journey.

“Dr. Vigil Dombeck is a dedicated colleague with whom I have collaborated on multiple occasions. I have always been impressed by his ethical standards and commitment to his work as a psychotherapist.

Dr. Vigil Dombeck is unafraid to support clients with severe mental health challenges or significant personal distress, continually refining his approach through ongoing training and consultation. His unique background in technology is an asset, allowing him to better understand and support clients working in the tech sector. Additionally, he consistently goes above and beyond, advocating for his clients in disputes with health systems and disability insurance companies.

Above all, Dr. Vigil Dombeck is a compassionate and caring individual who is deeply committed to the well-being of those he serves.”

“As someone without ADHD, I found Mark's expertise in executive functioning remarkably beneficial, transforming my approach to organization and productivity.

His detailed, practical recommendations – from specific digital tools to comprehensive systems – provided exactly what I needed as a modern professional feeling overwhelmed. These strategies have proven so effective that I've shared them successfully with family members. Given how valuable his structured approach has been for me, I can only imagine how transformative his methods would be for individuals with ADHD, who face even greater executive functioning challenges.

Mark's systematic approach offers a clear path from chaos to efficiency for anyone seeking better organization, whether they have ADHD or not"
