Sol Catalyst Therapies is the private practice of Mark F. Barone, MA, LMHC, located in Seattle, Washington. Mark works with his own unique templates of Holistic Psychotherapy, Psychospiritual Counsel and Archetypal Tantra, specializing in supporting the liberation, healing, empowerment, enlightenment, and Self-actualization of musicians, artists, actors, comedians, writers, and wellness providers.
Mark’s personal cosmology, life experiences, education, training, and spiritual practices initiated, support and inform his passion for weaving Humanistic, Depth, Evidence-based, Somatic, and
Trauma-informed methods of Psychotherapy with sacred Archetypal languages and techniques of Alchemy, Astrology, Tarot, Tibetan Vajrayana Buddhism, and the I Ching, into these integrative, transformative, and potent therapeutic modalities.
Holistic Psychotherapy
Mark’s awareness of there being multiple
variables which lead individuals to seek therapy
served as motivation and guidance for him
crafting his Holistic Psychotherapy template,
with the intention of acknowledging and
harmonizing the psychological, physical,
emotional, relational, creative, and
spiritual/existential dimensions
of humanity.
Enlightenment can be translated as freedom from
suffering, and in current times suffering often
manifests as symptoms of anxiousness, depression,
post-traumatic stress disorder, conflict within
relationships, self-image issues, creative blocks, and confusion around the meaning and purpose of
existence.
In implementing his Holistic Psychotherapy
template, Mark weaves together Humanistic and
Depth Psychology, Trauma-informed and Evidence-based Somatic meditations and practices,
and empowering sacred Archetypal languages including Astrology and Tarot, which empower him to assess, track, facilitate, and support the
intricate calibration of various elements of human
incarnation.
The results of engagement in this Holistic
Psychotherapy process are often; relief of symptoms, clearing of obscurations, expansion of
awareness, and subsequent blooming of enlightened states of; equanimity, pleasure, vigor, reciprocal love, confidence, artistry, wisdom, merit, & conscious Self-actualization.
Psychospiritual Counsel
Some of us are born with or develop a yearning for spiritual or existential experience,
meaning, and purpose. Mark found awareness of
such an element of himself early in life, guiding
him to and supporting his diligent exploration,
study, engagement, and practice of various
spiritual methods, and the accumulation of
increasingly profound and expansive experiences.
With appreciation of this perennial aspiration of himself and humanity, complemented by his
gained knowledge and adeptness, Mark cultivated the design of his Psychospiritual Counsel template, a mode of consultation in which he helps affect
change at a soul level via the identification and conscious actualization of authentic Self embodiment and journey on one’s path of destiny.
Mark's Psychospiritual Consultations involve his cohesive weaving together of the language, theory, and practices of; Alchemy, Astrology, Tarot, Chakra Systems, Shadow Integration, Tibetan Vajrayana Buddhism, and the I Ching,
to expand awareness of individual archetypal configurations in relation to collective cosmology, and identify a tangible map and guidance for practical navigation within the physical and aetherial territories.
Mark’s wisdom and skill in these areas is informed by his eternal and steadfast passion and personal praxis, as well as his instruction, training, and/or practicum with Anodea Judith Phd, Antero Alli, the Institute of Authentic Tantra Education, and Maja D'Aoust.
Archetypal Tantra
Archetypal Tantra is a modality of instruction
woven by Mark via his conjunction of the languages, symbolism, theories, and practices of Authentic Tantra ®, with those of Astrology and Tarot, and provides a clear avenue for deepening knowledge of one’s authentic Self, and affecting external environmental and existential circumstances by the internal and relational healing of physical, emotional, psychological, spiritual, and sexual dimensions of being.
Engagement in this process with Mark as
a guide is an initiation into the Shangpa Kagyu
lineage of the Vajrayana tradition of Tibetan Tantric Buddhism, and into the realm of Astrological and Tarot cosmology and experience. Spanning centuries, these templates are
compendiums holding configurations of empowering beliefs and behaviors reflective of perennial truths and wisdom which have the capacity to catalyze gradual and/or swift healing,
transformation, and Self-actualization, and
consequently the support of an experienced
practitioner is often vital and highly rewarding.
The path includes focus on increasing somatic and energy body awareness, connection with and
integration of the archetypal five elements, and conscious engagement and experimentation with the sacred and divine duality and interplay of; feminine and masculine, yin and yang, receptive
and active, toward cultivating an authentic embodiment of sexuality according to one’s own
desire, design, and pleasure compass.
As Mark’s instruction augments structure with flexibility, supporting a mindfully inclusive and diverse atmosphere and curriculum which facilitate liberation, the results frequently are experiences of fulfilling levels of trust, intimacy, and pleasure, as well as feelings of bliss and enlightenment.
Testimonials*
“I thoroughly enjoyed taking Mark Barone’s Archetypal Tantra class. I was familiar with some aspects of Tantra but had no idea how in depth the course would go. Mark held a consistent and calm presence, always checking in to make sure I was understanding and moving at a pace that was comfortable for me, so I felt very safe and supported while learning from him. The meditations and visualizations really helped me to open up some blockages I hadn’t realized were
there. Things started happening in my life that aligned with the elements I was working with, and I really noticed the relationship between my inner and outer experience. I would highly recommend Mark’s Tantra class to anyone wanting to explore Tantra for the first time or for those wanting to go
deeper with their practice.”

“My session with Mark was enlightening and helped me dive deeper into the shadow work I had been doing. He provided a caring space and made acute observations from studying my chart that had not been clear to me, and this opened new pathways to integrating thought patterns and healing long-forgotten emotions. I highly recommend Mark's Psychospiritual Counsel service to anyone who wants to go deeper into their psyche in a creative and more esoteric way."
