Amanda Martin LCSW

What our first session would typically involve is working together to identify where you are in life, where you want to be, and what you would like to work on to move you forward. It is my goal for therapy that each client I work with leaves sessions feeling heard, supported, and empowered to move themselves forward towards better change. Therapy is about creating a safe space for expression and to explore tools that move you towards change, healing, and managing internal and external challenges.

I use an eclectic approach to therapy based on your identified goals and preferences. My therapeutic methods include psychodynamic/insight-orientated and trauma-informed approaches that can also include trauma therapy, EMDR, tools work, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical-Behavioral Therapy skill building, Seeking Safety, mindfulness-based relaxation, body work, and interpersonal connectedness. I focus heavily on recovery and healing from the impact of chronic stress and trauma.
