Telehealth Psychotherapy for Individuals and Couples in Berkeley, California

AUDREY B. MARTIN, MFT
Audrey Martin, MFT is a Berkeley psychotherapist treating depression, anxiety, mid-life transition, eating disorders, relationship difficulties, parenting concerns, chronic and life threatening illness,
grief and bereavement, and trauma.
My Approach
I believe that psychotherapy can promote meaningful change in your life. Therapy offers a safe container in which you can work through difficult issues with an experienced professional. In our work together, we meet weekly, and begin the process of examining the issues that are troubling you. My theoretical orientation is psychodynamic, and I practice from this vantage point, drawing on self-psychology, relational, attachment and psychoanalytic theory. I am also interested in mindfulness practices.
I have experience treating depression, anxiety, mid-life transition, eating disorders, couple and relationship difficulties, parenting concerns, chronic and life-threatening illness, grief and bereavement, trauma, and other psychological issues. I have a special interest in the intersection between creativity and its role in authentic self-expression. Often people feel blocked and unable to put into action what is most meaningful to them. Therapy can help you deepen your connection to yourself and facilitate profound personal growth.
I work with people across the lifespan, from adolescence through older adulthood. I have a diverse practice, and am sensitive to issues related to gender and sexual identity, cultural identity and alternative family concerns.
About Me
I have been in private practice for 40 years, and work with individuals and couples. I also offer consultation to licensed clinicians and supervision to therapists in training.
I received my graduate training in child, adolescent and adult psychotherapy at the John F. Kennedy University Counseling Center, and completed graduate training at The Women’s Therapy Center in relational psychotherapy, where I provided therapy for women and couples.
In addition to my formal training, I have a background working in community mental health and advocacy, providing mental health services to people with HIV and AIDS, as an advocate for battered women and their children, and as a health educator and counselor to teenage girls.
