Specialities and My Approach
I have a vast amount of experience working with complex PTSD, childhood abuse, various forms of trauma, mood disorders, and compulsions. If you still feel hampered by the past growing up in a chaotic home rife with various forms of abuse then I might be a good fit for you.
In my career as a clinician I worked in intense settings addressing substance use issues and mood disorders.
I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing and EMDR-DeTUR (urge reduction for compulsions). My style as a therapist is interactive, creative, thoughtful, empathetic, and above all compassionate towards you! My work with you is tailored towards the strengths you already possess. I offer a down to earth approach for you to explore your thoughts and emotions.

“Andy Martin has been a wonderful therapist to work with. I feel much better off than when I started, both the EMDR therapy and his ability to listen to me were more helpful than I expected.
In addition, Andy’s pricing was very affordable and he was flexible with his schedule. I had a few last minute reschedules and he was happy to accommodate.
I highly recommend Andy.”

I value your time, energy, and efforts towards your goals and what you are wanting to accomplish in each session.
I value your sense of purpose and helping you move forward from the past, the past can inform you but it does not have to define you! And that is the overarching beauty of psychotherapy in my humble opinion. You can overcome the past and create a different narrative for our future!

The Anxiety Of Where To Begin
