Maureen "Moirhian" Martin

I have a Master's In Clinical Psychology. For the past 10 years I have worked with women who have the lived experience of complex trauma and anxiety. I am trained in EMDR (healing trauma and the beliefs that spring from it), DBT (mindfulness in our everyday lives, regulating emotions, dealing with stressors and crises, and effective communication) and IFS (accessing the various "parts" of us that hold the trauma, hurts and wounds, as well as the ways we have developed to cope with them.

I work with women who are ready to have more joy, ease and authenticity in their lives. Anything unhealed from the past effects our current day emotions, thoughts and behaviors. I use psychoeducation, skill building, development of self-compassion and EMDR. We go at your own pace. This is a journey that is tender, and can surprisingly be full of joy, and even laughter. I walk with you, supporting you as you heal what has held you back and cheering you on as you find meaning and freedom in your life today.

In our first session we will complete the intake process and you will share an overview of your life; what works and what doesn't. We do not get into the details of traumas. I ask about your goals, and how you want your life to be different. We begin to develop a plan to move toward that. I'll also share about myself and my approach to therapy. We will review confidentiality. Before we end the session, we will schedule on-going sessions.
