Marti Fredericks

My communication style

I am friendly and relaxed. I use humor and unconditional support. I am not afraid to talk about anything, and nothing shocks me. No judgment and lots of empathy. You will find me to be a good listener as we work together on the issues most impacting your life.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have had a full career of being a therapist. I knew from High School, when I took my first psychology class, that this career was calling to me. Although retired from running my own agency, I still enjoy working with people in a therapeutic relationship. I am very successful in helping my clients meet their goals.

My goals for you

I spend the first hour talking with you, getting to know you, and letting you get to know me. I am a good listener. I develop treatment goals based on what you tell me, what is troubling you, and therefore what needs to be worked on. Successful therapy is based on a good relationship between the client and the therapist.

Our first session

The first session is a time to allow you to get to know me and how I work. I also get to know you by asking a lot of questions. I have a guided interview format, so I learn a bit about your background, family, and history of challenges and strengths. We agree on the areas that we will work on together.

I identify as...

• Female
• Caucasian or White
• Christian
