Healing and Growth Start Here

Welcome to our site. I’m Dr. Martha Carlson, a psychologist with over 20 years of experience providing empirically validated treatments. I see myself as your guide to work on the things that are important to you. In our time together, you’ll find a warm space where your experiences are heard, your feelings validated and your wins celebrated!

In my experience, there is not one type of therapy that heals all, so I utilize a variety of treatments and approaches based on what is best for each client. We will work to identify areas that you would like to work on.

Therapy isn’t about avoiding hard things - it’s about making them feel less impossible. Approaching the things you’ve been avoiding will create growth and strength that will last over a lifetime.

Whatever’s next, you won’t be figuring this out alone.
