I practice from the belief that humans are complex beings with amazing capabilities. Obstacles and challenging situations can block us from using our capabilities to their full potential, changing the ways we think, the ways that we live our lives, and the ways in which we relate to others.

My name is Martha Gizachew, and I was born and raised in Ethiopia before moving to the United States at an early age. My upbringing and experiences called me to counseling, and I provide services in the state of Virginia in my development as a counselor with Virginia State University. My decision to practice in psychology was driven by first and secondhand experiences of discrimination, colorism, and other mistreatments of vulnerable populations. As a counselor, I am dedicated to being part of the solution for the common and uncommon effects of trauma, discrimination, religious persecution, and other situations of intolerance.

People come to therapy with strengths and skills that have helped them to survive up until meeting me, and I find that it is often better to work with existing tools rather than tearing down entire foundations. As a clinician, I can help you to decide what stays, what goes, what skills should be emphasized, and what skills should be learned. I have supported others to solve relationship problems, establish effective coping systems, with adjusting to difficult life experiences and spaces. We are both experts in the room and I will use my understandings of integrative practices to help build the dream that you imagine for yourself.

My ideal client is someone who wants a safe place to work on issues and is seeking someone who can listen effectively with a calm and nurturing presence that provides stability and opportunities to grow and gain coping tools and insights.
