Neil Martin

My communication style

I listen deeply and actively. I am often looking for “the story behind the story.” I will always validate your feelings. I am calm, non-judgmental, and patient. I will offer feedback when you wish to hear it.

My journey to mental healthcare

I grew up in Tempe, Arizona, went away to Stanford, then moved to Los Angeles and worked in the entertainment industry. I gradually realized that real life was more interesting to me than fiction. I then spent 20 years studying spirituality, much of it in India. Helping people grow toward wholeness is my Dharma — Life’s Work and Purpose.

My goals for you

Your happiness and growth is my highest priority. Together we’ll define your therapy goals, which will evolve over time.

Our first session

In our first session, you’ll experience a warm, safe space to fully be yourself. We’ll get to know each other and determine what brought you here and where you’d like to go. We’ll lay the groundwork for “It’s the relationship that heals.”
