Hello, I'm Dr. Martha Carlson and I offer both individual and couples therapy. Would you like to feel less anxious or worried? Is better sleep a goal for you? Would you like to cope better with life stressors? Are you wishing for an improved relationship? There's no better time than right now to begin working on the things that are holding you back and keeping you from engaging in the life you want. My mission is to provide compassionate and personalized teletherapy where you have a safe environment to talk about what is on your mind.
I hold expertise for: support through life transitions and challenges and the treatment of anxiety, PTSD, couples therapy and insomnia. Your journey will begin with an assessment and a discussion about your treatment goals. Therapy works best when you believe in what you are working on, so focusing on your preferences will be key.
Let's figure this out together! Take the next step and contact me today via email, phone, or check out my website. Visit my Instagram page at oregoncenterfortherapy for reels and posts with free tips. Therapy is one of the best investments you can make for yourself and it would be my honor to support you.
