Connect with Colleen Martin
I am a mental health therapist who supports adults seeking meaningful healing, self-understanding, and emotional resilience. My work is grounded in a humanistic-existential and feminist approach, honouring each person's capacity for growth, authenticity, and connection. With warmth and empathy, I support clients in exploring their inner world, tending to past experiences that continue to shape the present, and building a more flexible and self-compassionate way of being. Sessions may include increasing awareness of inner experiences, processing trauma at a safe pace, and strengthening skills for values-aligned living.
I integrate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), polyvagal-informed and Mindful Self-Compassion strategies to support client self-acceptance, resilience, and vitality. My approach is relational and trauma-informed, emphasizing safety, curiosity, and collaboration.
I am committed to providing affirming and culturally responsive care, supporting members of the LGBTQ+ community, individuals navigating identity and life transitions, trauma, grief and loss, anxiety, shame, or self-criticism. I see therapy as a space to reconnect with one's inner wisdom, soften self-judgment, and deepen resilience and authenticity.
