Heidi Martin

(MS, LMHC, NCC)

About Me

Hi my name is Heidi and I am a licensed mental health counselor in Florida and Washington State, as well as a board certified coach. I have over 8 years of experience, primarily working in private practice

People come to therapy because they want to feel better. It may be relationship problems, anxiety/depression, work related concerns, etc., but whatever the reason, they want to feel better and do better.
In my experience, most people want a greater understanding of themselves and their situation. Making life work and feeling more comfortable with themselves is the goal.

I focus on altering self-defeating behaviors and beliefs, helping my clients to gain perspective with a focus on improving the quality of their lives.
Among the many tools that promote growth and well being, I utilize insight and mindfulness to help achieve client goals.

The people I work with tend to be bright and high functioning yet they sense something is missing. My job includes, among other things. noticing hidden themes and repetitive patterns. Many people treat others better than they treat themselves and usually are much harder on themselves than others, which causes untold pain.

I have a lot of admiration for people who embark on a therapeutic journey, it takes courage to seek a more fulfilling life but as serious as I take my work, I also conduct therapy in a relaxed manner where laughter and collaboration is encouraged.

I look forward to working with you!

Heidi has been incredible. When initially signing up for Better Help I was very overwhelmed and feeling really lost in life but within a few short weeks she has really helped me find my sense of direction and get my mojo back. Thank you Heidi!

Heidi has helped me identify simple thinking patterns that were coming in my way and creating big issues in my day to day life. She is kind, a great listener and makes herself available when required, and supports my conversations with additional resources. I am glad I took her help and highly recommend working with her.

Heidi is amazing. I went through several therapists at a time in my life when I was undergoing a severe crisis. Heidi is a great listener, capable, smart, compassionate, and I'm very grateful I found her when I did. I would recommend her as a therapist to anyone.

Heidi gets me in a way no other therapist I’ve ever had has. She responds so quickly, is able to talk me down so effectively in a panic situation and provides amazing insight and resources. Heidi has been able to help me accomplish in mere months what no other therapist has been able to pinpoint within me. I couldn't be happier and highly recommend Heidi!

Heidi is such a kind soul. I can tell by the way she talks me through problems. I have had other counselors in the past but they were nothing like Heidi. I am very happy she was selected for me. She is always making sure I am alright and will message me.

Heidi is very selfless, warm and welcoming, I have never once felt uncomfortable or judged. I have anxiety and depression and Heidi has brought a lot of my unconscious thoughts to my attention making me a lot more self aware. She is very understanding and listens intently, digging deep on issues to get to the very core of them to provide the best possible solution or insight. You can tell she is very passionate and has had a lot of experience, as she's always been accurate in her response. I couldn't flaw her at all, I would recommend her to anyone and wish I found her years ago!!!

Heidi has been a great help. I’m so very thankful. I was having a hard time getting my thoughts in order, and was at an all time low with my depression because I didn’t know where to go or what to do. Heidi’s guidance helped me tremendously and I am ever so grateful.
