I believe that we as people can overcome challenges and achieve in life the goals that we have, had have, and will have. The barriers that we are faced with, when perceived as challenges to overcome can be overcome through our journey of understanding and development in ourselves. I have 3 years experience working with individuals and groups in crisis and acute psychological settings in order to establish and maintain stabilization for social, familial, and psychological needs.

Trauma is common and over half of all people will have experienced at least one traumatic event in their lifetime. It does not have to continue to disrupt life. My mission is to help people find their power again and move past their trauma so they can live their best life in accordance with their values and goals and fully live and enjoy their lives. I use trauma informed care first and foremost along with a blend of other modalities in order to help clients find their own strength in managing their symptoms, learning self-compassion, and regaining their internal locus of control.

Are you stressed out or anxious? Does it feel like you can’t get started again? Are you struggling with finding yourself again? Have you tried to solve the problems in your life on your own and realized you need help from someone else? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you have made the right choice by being here. I know seeking help can be challenging. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety & depression, trauma, or adjustment, you must know you don’t have to be alone in this journey. I have the experience to help you achieve your goals, overcome these struggles, and live a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

"It is better to light a candle than curse the darkness." This famous Eleanor Roosevelt quote can be applied to many situations. When we get stuck -- in a rut at work, in a stormy relationship, in a lukewarm marriage, with our children -- we suffer but are often pulled to focus on the problem rather than finding a solution. Sometimes, we're not aware of what the actual issue is. All we can do is try to avoid the pain, skirt problems, even pretend we are fine. We are blocked by fear -- another word for anxiety. Together, we can walk slowly through that fear, and find that light.

We all go through difficult times in our lives, and sometimes we need to reach out to others during these times. I am here to help you navigate any struggles that you may be experiencing. My goal is to provide a warm, safe environment for you to process your emotions, grieve, cope, and heal. I believe that everyone has strengths that we can build on in therapy, and my goal is to work with you to use these strengths to reach your goals.

As Maya Angelou noted: "Hope is born again in the faces of children". I am excited to offer therapy for children and families in the greater Manhattan area. Since 2015, I have provided treatment for children experiencing behavioral and mental health symptoms who may have experienced life changes and trauma. In this environment, we will work together through therapeutic art, sand tray and play therapy. I will personalize treatment to you and your child's individual needs. Although I am open to working with all ages, my expertise is working with children, ages 0-12.

I believe everyone is the expert on themselves. They often struggle with self-doubt, poor self-esteem, and are scared to follow their heart. For me the only client requirement is the desire to change, the willingness to do the work and the ability to say, "I know I have more to offer, but I need help!"

Welcome to my private practice in west Manhattan. My office conveniently located close to restaurants and surrounding shopping area. I focus on adults from age 18 to 70+. Growing up in the Topeka area, Marta Howe, PhD. is basically a Midwesterner. I have worked in Manhattan, KS almost 30 years since she got her PhD in Psychology from Kansas University. I see individuals with numerous disorders including depression, anxiety and relationship issues as well as couple issues.

Accepting new clients! Does your life feel like the “This is fine” meme? You're just trying to get through your day, enjoy your coffee, but it seems like everything around you is on fire! Maybe you also feel on fire but you just try to ignore it and get done what needs to be done... But it's not working... You find yourself drowning in the day to day trying to take care of everything and everyone else and you're tired and overwhelmed. It's not clear if you're impacted most by your current stress or if maybe you are suffering because there's something from your past that just seems to keep coming up.

Life can be difficult at times and it can be hard to deal with our struggles on our own. There is hope and I can help you find peace and happiness I know you deserve. My goal is to provide a safe, open environment where you can process your struggles and be genuinely heard. I believe therapy to be a collaborative process where my clients rewrite the negative thoughts, feelings, and stories they have about themselves and are empowered to create new, positive life experiences.

My work with parents, children, and families so far has been some of the most rewarding work I've had the privilege of doing. During 5 years of experience working with children and their families in various contexts, I find that sometimes the focus shifts from changing behavior to repairing a connection to sometimes simply finding a new way to communicate. I find my expertise in helping children find their voice

Trauma can make you constantly feel on guard and disrupt your ability to live life to its fullest. I work with clients presenting with a range of trauma, past, and present. My trauma-informed treatment approach integrates the unique aspects of your culture and explores how societal assumptions and minority stress impact your life and those you care about. I provide collaborative and culturally-affirmative care and serve as an accomplice, putting allyship into practice. My goal is to help you heal from trauma and gain control of your life, where you feel empowered to make decisions that benefit you and those important to you.

I focus on the capability and strengths of women. Women are faced with multiple roles in their lives often leaving them feeling overwhelmed and burned out resulting in anxiety and depression. I believe women are capable of anything however just because we are capable does not mean we should. We all need the reminder we are experts on ourselves, even when we do not feel we are. We are ENOUGH! I have been a mother for 26 years which has led me the ability to support other women in their motherhood and life journey. I applaud bravery which all clients exhibit when reaching out for help.

I'm a mental health therapist who assists people to feel better and function more effectively in their lives. My skills cultivate the intrinsic, lasting mental health that is in each person. I also help people resolve psychological trauma so that it no longer negatively affects their life. I lean toward methods like mindfullness based stress reduction and acceptance and commitment therapy to cultivate innate mental health in each client. I also use Somatic Experiencing and EMDR to resolve trauma. I expect you will find our relationship together to have unconditional positive regard, openness, curiosity, wisdom and compassion.

My belief is that everyone deserves to be thriving throughout life, not just surviving. When our mental health starts impacting our daily activities and routines, it can be hard to see a way to improve the situation. I strive to provide a safe, non-judgmental, caring environment for my clients to share their current struggles. Together we can address your current concerns and develop a plan that will fit your goals.

I specialize in the treatment of complex trauma, in particular with clients navigating mid-life transitions and relationship dissatisfaction.

My focus is to provide a safe place or healing and discovery. Often our instincts tell us there is something off in our lives or that there is more to life, even if we function well in many areas. A few things that can block our lives can be childhood traumas, , sexual or physical abuse, gender issues, or any life disruptions, losses or challenges.

My passion is helping others navigate difficult times because sometimes life’s hurdles seem too big to conquer alone. As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC), I provide therapy for teens (14+) and adults using a person-centered approach that incorporates a variety of techniques to meet the needs of each client. My specialties include: trauma/PTSD, anxiety, OCD, mood disorder, grief, relationship difficulties, stress management, and general life adjustment issues. If you are seeking a safe, non-judgmental, and welcoming space to process life challenges, please give me a call. I look forward to working with you.
