MaryEllen Martyn, LPC-EMDR Therapist

My natural bent when working with clients is psychodynamic. In this premise of talk therapy, we dive into your automatic internal resources that are utilized in dealing with problems; adjust and create stronger, more healthy ways to address issues that arise. Many of our reactions are based in past experiences, positive or negative. We explore what does not work and shift you into what will work for your unique abilities.

I have used EMDR therapy almost exclusively with every client starting out. I have been trained in all levels of EMDR and maintain quarterly enhanced trainings in order to keep my skills and methods sharp when I apply to each different client. EMDR allows the client to explore deeper into self and discover aspects that they were simply unaware of.

Eclectic Therapy recognizes that one-size does not fit all clients and a client just may not respond to one approach as well as another. This method allows me to pull from a variety of techniques and interventions to enable the client to achieve their goals and life changes that they desire. This also requires that I have in-depth working knowledge of many approaches to use them interchangeably and seamlessly.

I have used EMDR therapy almost exclusively with every client starting out. No one is required to use EMDR, but I find it a far more effective method to help a client to heal and find wholeness. EMDR allows the client to explore deeper into self and discover aspects that they were simply unaware of. The client is able to change their negative beliefs regarding themselves or situations to embrace a better perspective on past and present experiences. The shift results in immediate results.

Abuse can come in many different forms. Many times, we don't even realize that we are in fact, being abused until further down the road. Healing from the effects of abuse does not mean you have to connect to that person in the future. It seemly means, you know longer feel the waves of thoughts, emotions, sensations, and pull in a backwards direction in life.

PTSD is often believed to be an issue for war veterans. The truth is that any trauma can leave a person with unresolved physical body and mind responses that take over for known and unknown triggers. It can lead a person to feel hopeless for any relief, let alone finding permanent freedom. I specialize in the treatment of PTSD, and I look forward to speaking with you about what holds you back from a life that is fully in your power to direct in every area of life.

Depression is so accepted that many believe to this as a forever reality versus something that freedom can be realized. In its purest form, depression is anger turned inwards, with no ability to resolve or fix perceived areas of brokenness. Disappointments and unmet expectations become waves rippling over like a flood from the ocean. We feel we are drowning in a lost life that we are failing to save ourselves from. Change your mind today by taking the first steps in your healing.
