Martina listens to me, and then helps me reframe my own thoughts in a more constructive way. she seems to know when I need to be pushed to think differently about a situation or when I am emotional and need a more gentle response. she has been amazing as I have been going through some very difficult situation in my life and I can't say enough about her support as I have been processing a wide range of emotions as I navigate through this curve ball that life threw me.

Into every life, a little pain must come; but the real question is how to turn that pain into potential. I specialize in issues that negatively affect your mental health such as trauma stemming from separation/divorce, narcissistic abuse or abuse of any kind, grief, marital/family discord, and parent support as well as other life defining moments. Located in Atlanta, GA, I am excited to not only help you heal, but to heal well!

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Martina is wonderful. She is very attentive, compassionate and understanding.
I can’t say enough about Martina. She has been amazing to work with as I’ve been dealing with some tough life situations. I’m in a much better place since I’ve been working with her.
Ms. Watson is great
Martina is a great listener. She quickly developed a plan that allowed me to experience true breakthrough and healing from past traumas. I was ready to move forward and develop from my negative experiences. Martina is doing an excellent job of getting me to there.
Martina is awesome! She is very professional and is spot on with her assessments. She is very helpful and is an amazing listener!
First time I feel heard and questioned. That is extremely important to me.
She's great at listening and giving sound advice to my current situation. She even gives me tools to help going forward. I love talking with her
I feel such a difference in my energy since meeting with Martina! She is a great listener and makes amazing suggestions! I highly recommend her
Peeling back the layers to the issues I’m having is the hardest thing I have ever done but doing with Martina gives me hope for a brighter, clearer path to true healing and freedom. We are just getting started but even when we aren’t speaking, I’m now thinking about things in a deeper way & it helps when I make decisions. I’m excited about coming on the other side of the confusion, pain & trauma and leading a healthy, meaningful and more authentic life.
