Jennifer Martin

With over 15 years of experience as a certified yoga instructor and mindfulness coach, Jennifer Martin brings a unique blend of holistic practices to her role as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate (LCMHCA). Her approach to therapy is as multifaceted as the clients she serves, offering a judgment-free space where teens, adults, seniors, couples, and families can find support and guidance.

Jennifer's therapeutic toolkit is well-stocked with evidence-based approaches, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Brief Solution Focused Therapy (BSFT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). This diverse range of techniques allows her to tailor her approach to each client's unique needs and goals. Her holistic, strengths-based, and person-centered philosophy ensures that clients are met with compassion and empowered to tap into their inner resources.

With a Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from St. Bonaventure University and a Bachelor's in Psychology from Canisius College, Jennifer has cultivated expertise in addressing a wide spectrum of mental health challenges. Her experience spans depression, anxiety, trauma, attachment issues, dysfunctional family systems, grief and loss, LGBTQ+ concerns, life transitions, substance abuse, and ADHD. This breadth of knowledge allows her to provide comprehensive care that addresses the complexity of human experience.

Jennifer's message to clients encapsulates her therapeutic philosophy: "Sometimes, life points us in a certain direction or brings the right people into our lives when we are feeling lost, confused, or alone. In a time of need, these people can offer kind words, a listening ear or a gentle hand to help guide us back to our own inner strength and wisdom. I would be honored to be that person for you." This sentiment reflects her commitment to being a supportive presence in her clients' journeys toward healing and self-discovery.

Having relocated to the Raleigh, NC area from Buffalo, NY in 2021, Jennifer brings a fresh perspective to her practice. When she's not in the therapy room, she finds joy in the company of her family, including her husband, three children, golden retriever, and two cats. Her love for nature, whether by the ocean, walking, gardening, or simply basking in the sunshine with a good book, reflects her holistic approach to life and wellness – an approach she seamlessly integrates into her therapeutic work.
