Amaya Martin
counselor trainee; (sHE/Her)
As a clinician, my priority is to help you feel empowered in reaching your goals.
No matter what brings you here, I aim to create a welcoming, safe, and reliable space, allowing you to be your authentic self. Whether you are attending therapy for the first time or continuing your journey, I am honored to be your advocate. I firmly believe you are the expert of your life, and I am here to help you figure out what your next steps may be. In working together, I strive to lead with compassion and empathy to validate your lived experience.
I work with adults of all ages navigating the impacts of depression, generalized and social anxiety, life adjustments, grief and loss, fears of rejection and abandonment, and traumatic experiences. I incorporate somatic exercises to help with emotional regulation. In addition, I specialize in working with the LGBTQ+ community of all ages. I want to advocate for you as a person by creating a safe, supportive space to share your story and feel heard. I also work with those who are neurodivergent clients including ADHD, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), as well as clients who experience combined symptoms of both (AuDHD). I will help to provide you with neurodivergent approaches to help support everyday life and functions.
