Getting to know Sharifa Martin
I am a licensed professional therapist dedicated to helping individuals overcome life’s challenges through a compassionate, client-centered approach. Specializing in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and psychoeducation, I empower clients by helping them understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while equipping them with practical tools to foster lasting change. In addition to CBT, I integrate dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and mindfulness-based practices, offering a well-rounded therapeutic experience that supports emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and overall mental well-being.
I work with individuals navigating trauma, depression, anxiety, and major life transitions, providing a safe and supportive space to explore their emotions, gain clarity, and develop healthy coping strategies. My approach is tailored to each client’s unique needs, ensuring that therapy remains a collaborative and meaningful journey. Whether you’re seeking to break unhelpful patterns, build resilience, or simply gain a deeper understanding of yourself, I am committed to guiding you with evidence-based techniques that foster self-awareness, emotional healing, and personal growth. My ultimate goal is to empower you with the skills and confidence needed to navigate life’s complexities with greater ease and fulfillment.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
