Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Sparks, NV

Hello! My name is Ty Martin and I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor in Missouri since 2010. In addition to Missouri, I am also licensed in the states of Washington, Iowa, and Nevada. I aspire to get licensed in other states so I can provide services to those in need.

My theoretical orientation is based in Cognitive Behavioral Therapies (CBT) as there are a variety of interventions to choose from that are evidenced based. I specialize in Trauma Informed CBT, e.g. TF CBT for children 3-18 and Cognitive Processing Therapy for ages 14-Adulthood. However, I have had the opportunity to serve people with use of Strength Based Approaches, Non directive therapy, e.g. Client Centered Approaches and Directive therapy approaches, Skills Building and Structured Problem Solving, amongst many other interventions.

In my tenure as a therapist, I have served across many facets including Virtual, In Home, Inpatient, Outpatient, Intensive Outpatient, In School, and other Community based settings. I also have treated across diverse cultures including but not limited to age, ethnicities, gender, disabilities, socioeconomic status, etc.

I started my career in behavioral health 18 years ago, working with children on the autism spectrum. I fell in love with the helping profession and went on to graduate college with a bachelor’s degree in psychology. After working in the child welfare and mental health fields, I earned a master’s degree in social work and practiced 3000 hours of clinical therapy. I am now a fully licensed clinical social worker (LCSW). My work and life experience have taught me that each client’s needs are unique and complex. I work collaboratively with you to integrate traditional therapy techniques, evidence-based somatic skills, and spiritual wellness to help you reach your desired goals and healing.
