Martha Brito, licensed marriage and family therapist. In my 10 years of experience, I had worked with a wide range of clients from different backgrounds. I’m comfortable working with clients with trauma, and other mental health issues. Anxiety, depression, ADHD, etc. I like brief, and holistic approaches. I feel that one modality does not fit all clients. I like to use a variety of approaches to fit the client's needs. Trauma, somatic, and holistic. My communication style is one that is welcoming and non- judgmental. My goal is to provide a safe space for my clients.
