Getting to know Martin LaPlaca

Hi there, I'm Martin! I’ve had the honor of helping folks manage depression and anxiety, navigate change, explore their identity, cope with daily stress, discover healthy boundaries, process grief and trauma, build self-esteem, manage anger, improve relationships, and find more joy, balance, and meaning in their lives. My focus I try to foster a willingness to be honest and open with me and with themselves and have a genuine commitment to growth and healing. My approach I make every effort to build a relationship that makes you feel seen and heard. It is extremely important that you feel safe sharing your unique experiences and your understanding of yourself and of the world. We will work together to figure out what you really want and how to help you reach your goals. My communication style I have a relatively informal and direct communication style. I respect the fact that you know much more about your life than I do, and I approach our work in a spirit of genuine curiosity and compassion. My journey to mental healthcare I believe that we are all doing the very best we can, given who we are and what we have experienced. We all have our own paths to walk, but we also share a great deal because of our shared humanity. My goals for you I draw from a variety of treatments including cognitive Behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, narrative therapy, and goal-focused techniques. We’ll work together to find which modalities feel most helpful for you. Our first session During our first session, we will talk about why you decided to reach out to a therapist at this time and what your goals for therapy are. We will also get to know each other and decide whether we are a good fit.
