Now accepting clients for immediate openings

Mike Martin

I believe that everyone has a right to live the life that they desire. However, life does not always work out how we hope. We cannot predict the events that will happen to us and how those events will impact our lives. We do, however, have the ability to choose how we will respond to those events. I believe that as a therapist, I get to be a partner with people as they seek to change their lives for the better. I believe that education, practical application, evidence-based techniques, and a focus on measurable outcomes is the fastest way to achieve the client’s goals. I believe that therapy should only be for as long as needed, with a focus on achieving the client’s goals.

As a therapist I try to create a comfortable and relaxed environment for you. I use an eclectic style that leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), mindfulness, and a little bit of humor sprinkled in. As a former Marine I personally understand the unique experiences that veterans and active duty service members go through. Additionally, I have been working with law enforcement, firefighters, and other front-line workers to help them with the complexities that their jobs can bring to their lives and families.

What I'm Like as a Therapist

I am a candid therapist that strives to create an adaptive environment that will help you feel comfortable and supported. I will challenge you to explore your thoughts, feelings and actions. I will make jokes, be sarcastic, and even share stories if these are applicable.

My goal is to assist you in realizing your goals. I do this by encouraging you to understand your unique strengths as well as the resources around you. Humor is a tool I frequently incorporate into sessions. I believe that laughter is one of the best tools for dealing with challenges. I strive to create an environment where you can genuinely be honest and say the things you might not otherwise feel comfortable talking about with others.

I will be transparent and authentic with you. Focusing on your needs while providing support while you work through difficult times.

Personal Interests​

Long walks on the beach, trying to impress people I don’t know, competitive relaxing in hammocks, and trolling people on the internet. But seriously… baseball, playing games with my kids, cooking proteins, and trying to make people laugh.
