Getting to know Michael Martin
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in both Illinois and New York with over 18 years of experience providing psychotherapy to individuals, couples, and families. Throughout my career, I have worked with clients across a wide range of life stages and presenting concerns, helping them navigate trauma, relationship challenges, emotional distress, and periods of transition with clarity and resilience.
I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), an evidence-based approach that allows clients to safely process and heal from traumatic or deeply distressing experiences. My clinical work is grounded in the belief that meaningful change is possible when people feel understood, supported, and empowered to reconnect with their own strengths.
My approach to therapy is strongly informed by my personal background. Growing up in multiple states exposed me early on to different cultures, values, and ways of relating to the world. This experience fostered a deep sense of openness, curiosity, and respect for individual differences—qualities that remain central to my work today. I strive to create a therapeutic space that is culturally responsive, nonjudgmental, and collaborative, where clients feel seen not only for their challenges, but for the full context of who they are.
Whether working with an individual seeking personal growth, a couple navigating conflict or disconnection, or a family working to improve communication and understanding, my goal is to help clients develop insight, build healthier patterns, and move toward lasting, meaningful change.
