Having trouble finding a partner worth your time? Wish your current partner understood you better? Do you love your family yet they still manage to push your buttons? Do you feel like you are just going through the motions at work and would love to be more engaged in what you do? One of our greatest needs is to be loved and understood yet so few of us feel that way in our relationships. Another important need is to have meaningful work yet often times most people trade their passions for what they feel to be a safe and secure job. This can lead to feelings of anxiety, depression and lack of meaning. My goal is to change all that.

AND, you do not have to continue on feeling the way you do.

Hello. My name is Martine Lamour. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC. I started this journey over 10 years ago. Being able to hold space for others is an honor, which is why I love what I do. For some people contemplating therapy, the hesitation is: Why would I go to a stranger to discuss some of my most vulnerable and challenging life moments? My answer is that’s the biggest benefit. The therapeutic relationship allows you to explore all parts of yourself without having to be concerned about how what you are sharing may impact anyone aside from yourself.

I enjoy working with individuals, groups and families who have experienced trauma, depression, anxiety, grief/loss issues, etc. I am interested in working with children (10+), adolescents, young adults, adults, couples, and People of Color who are ready and willing to work on repairing their relationships with self and others (peers, partners, family and friends).
