Hi, I am Martha McKenzie, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and I have over 30 years of experience working with adults, and teenagers. I received my higher education later in my life. After being married for several years, working, having a baby, and then getting a divorce, I made the decision to go back to school and I am so very glad that I did. I recieved my BSW, Bachelor of Social Work and my MSW, Master of Social Work, at the Florida State University. I received my License, as an LCSW in 2010, which afforded me the opportunity to see clients privately, who have many different disorders, Accomplishing the LCSW License, has made me a much more insightful, respectful, sensitive, compassionate and empathetic human. My education along with my experience has afforded me to help so many others going through hardships of their own. Also, because of the different esperiences in my life, I am able to feel connected to others. Another asset that I have, is that I am able to speak Spanish! My father was a linquist and could speak seven languages and because of high school teachers, teaching Spanish in my days, I was able to take a Spanish class each year of high school. I also, was able to take Spanish in college. I have gained a lot of experience working with the elderly, adults, teenagers and children. I have worked with clients with many concerns including, depression, anxiety, stress, OCD, ADHD, trauma, emotional abuse, domestic violence, parental problems, alcohol and drug use. I consider my specialty to be ADHD with adults, and teenagers. dren. ADHD, is so very interesting, as I can see especially now, how this disorder has been hidden, especially for women and girls until now. More and more females are being diagnosed with having this disorder and many are finding out later in their years. It use to be that only boys would be diagnosed with this disorder, simply because it was more aware in boys than girls, who would mask this disorder, because of shame or embarrasment. Throughout the years, I have attended several ADHD workshops, seminars, and webinars, and read digital information. I also follow many ADHD sites on the web as well as the official ADHD site found on the web. This web is opened to anyone who has ADHD, or anyone wanting to know more about it. I personally subscribe to the Additude magazine, which is the official magazine, which comes out quarterly, written by scientests and doctors. All of this together with my experience of working with teenagers having ADHD, has helped me to become extremly knowledgeable about the disorder. My counseling style is casual, warm, caring and interactive with my clients. My approach with my clients, combines Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness counseling, Psychodynamic counseling. I am also very proud to offer you Christian counseling and my ability to counsel you in Spanish, if needed. Your goals will be tailored to your specific needs and to be achieved by you. They will be written by both you and I, as your input will be extremely important in their being written for you specifically. You have shown courage and strength when you take a step towards seeking help for a more fulfilling, happier life. I look forward in meeting with you, working with you and empowering and supporting you! Thank you, for reading my profile.
