Martin LaPlaca

My communication style

I have a relatively informal and direct communication style. I respect the fact that you know much more about your life than I do, and I approach our work in a spirit of genuine curiosity and compassion.

My journey to mental healthcare

I believe that we are all doing the very best we can, given who we are and what we have experienced. We all have our own paths to walk, but we also share a great deal because of our shared humanity.

My goals for you

I draw from a variety of treatments including cognitive Behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, narrative therapy, and goal-focused techniques. We’ll work together to find which modalities feel most helpful for you.

Our first session

During our first session, we will talk about why you decided to reach out to a therapist at this time and what your goals for therapy are. We will also get to know each other and decide whether we are a good fit.

I identify as...

• Male
