Erin Martin, LMFT
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Providing psychotherapy for adults
I have over a decade of experience working with adults, adolescents, children, couples, and families. Though my training was rooted in Family Systems Theory, I utilize a diverse set of approaches in working with clients, including but not limited to Jungian, Humanistic, Experiential, Existential, and Object Relations. I am trained in EMDR, CBT, DBT, and Mindfulness. I thoroughly enjoy helping others to live their fullest lives possible. I am deeply committed to helping individuals who have experienced abuse or trauma of any form but most especially sexual abuse. My goal is to help them to reclaim the power that they lost so that they can move forward in living their most authentic lives. I am also dedicated to helping those with shame, as I see this problem as that underlying why most people are not living the lives they truly want. I view therapy as a collaborative process and I always welcome my clients’ input.

“The most intense conflicts, if overcome, leave behind a sense of security and calm that is not easily disturbed. It is just these intense conflicts and their conflagration which are needed to produce valuable and lasting results.” Carl Jung
