Meet Martha

Martha Rosado is a caring, non-judgmental counselor with over 10 years of experience in techniques proven to reduce stress & anxiety.

I became a counselor because I deeply believe in our ability to change and grow. We all have strengths that can help us overcome life’s challenges. Sometimes we just need help accessing our calm, courageous self. I truly enjoy being a consultant and coach on that path.

Therapeutic Approach

I chose to specialize in treating anxiety, worry and panic after getting training in Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction and EMDR. I continually see those techniques melt away stress and open you up to truly experiencing life. It’s a new way of being present in the moment and kind to yourself & others.

I am a client centered, solution focused therapist. I also have advanced training as a Dialectical Behavior informed therapist and frequently use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems and Cognitive Behavioral strategies in treatment.
