Work For Samaritan's Well

Our founder Mark Verkler grew up on a farm and ranch in Arkansas, attended college at the University of Arkansas, and married his wife Marie. After college, they had four children - two biological, two adopted - and moved to the greater Dallas area. Mark became a clinical social worker, started the Dallas Suicide & Crisis Center, and later established Samaritan's Well in 2003. Mark is also an elder at Upper Room Dallas. 

Over the years, Samaritan's Well has focused on workshops for couples to help them with inner healing and strengthening marriage relationships. Hundreds of individuals have sought help from Samaritans Well and experienced real transformation for the better. They share their story as a testament that everyone can experience God's blessing by taking a chance at help and courageously trusting in His will for the journey forward.

Samaritan's Well is a clinician-focused, private practice in the Dallas area on a mission to help people achieve healing and learn how to manage their relationships, anxiety, trauma, and depression and move towards thriving in their lives. Our team emphasizes Biblical principles and the mission of Christ: to love God and love others. 

We believe in serving the community with our time, expertise, and money, creating the best atmosphere for our clients and employees, and pursuing the fruit of the spirit. 

We aspire to create an experience of peace, compassion, safety, and growth in the lives of our clients. We aspire to bring excellence, expertise, and relevant direction to our clients through Biblical principles, counseling methods, consistently learning, finding the right clients for our niche, and pursuing humility in our process.

Our vision is to be an excellent Christian counseling practice serving the DFW area and guiding clients into fulfilling and beautiful lives.
