Mark Forman, PhD is a licensed clinical psychologist with fifteen years experience working with individuals, couples, children, and families. His text – A Guide to Integral Psychotherapy Complexity, Integration, and Spirituality in Practice – is one of the seminal works in the field of Integral Psychotherapy. He is currently working on his second text, Advancing in Integral Psychotherapy, which is being developed in conjunction with the CIT program.
Dr. Forman has extensive experience teaching Integral Theory at the graduate level – primarily at John F. Kennedy University in Northern California – as well as mentoring therapists and therapists-in-training at other graduate institutions and in private supervision. He is also the co-founder and was three times the lead organizer of the Integral Theory Conference, the world’s largest academic conference devoted to Integral theory and its application. He will be a consultant for the conference in 2015.


Dr. Forman has an undergraduate degree in philosophy and religious studies, graduating Magna Cum Laude from the University of Delaware in 1997. He began his career interests in the field of integrative medicine, spending one-year interning at the Center for Mind-Body Medicine under Georgetown professor and psychiatrist James Gordon, MD and eventually attended University of Massachusetts Medical School. Later, while attending the Institute of Tranpersonal Psychology for his doctorate, he was fortunate to be mentored by Dr. Bert Parlee, who is both a licensed psychologist and was then the primary facilitator for Ken Wilber’s Integral Institute. Dr. Forman is a long-term practitioner of yoga, reiki, martial arts, and meditation, beginning these practices in his late teens. He has studied meditation under several prominent teachers, including Gurumayi Chidvilasanda and Kenneth Folk. Over the past two decades, Dr. Forman has trained in a wide variety of therapeutic settings and with a number of different clinical populations. He has had particularly deep personal involvement in Jungian analysis with Alden Josey, Integral Psychotherapy and Hakomi (somatic psychotherapy) with Joe Sousa, sensorimotor and trauma-focused therapy with Janina Fisher, and neo-Jungian dream work with Jeremy Taylor.
Dr. Forman is currently in private practice in San Jose and Marin County, California, with occasional availability in Los Angeles. In addition to seeing children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families, he often sees other therapists, coaches, and those exploring deeper psychospiritual growth.
