Rachael Martin

I believe I have a responsibility as a therapist to create a safe, supportive, open environment where clients feel empowered to take an active role in the therapy process. I focus on patterns within and across generations of families, the balance between connectedness and individuality, and increasing an individual’s ability to cope with and tolerate stress. I work with my clients to navigate larger systems such as schools, healthcare settings, and DCFS, and to support them during life transitions. I have also completed advanced training in perinatal mood disorders. I employ Bowenian family therapy, Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and play/experiential therapies to work with children, families, couples, and adults to address behavioral, emotional, and relational issues and facilitate positive change. I regularly include art, music, storytelling, and games in my work. My office is inviting, friendly, and I work to create a positive space for you to explore what you need to feel happier, calmer, and successful. I utilize skill-based approaches, so you have a take-away from each and every session and our intake staff finds the best fit to work with your scheduling needs. I look forward to working with you!
