She also integrates Christian counseling for clients who wish to incorporate their faith into the healing process. With a multicultural and culturally sensitive lens, Marta draws on extensive international experience working with people from diverse backgrounds and cultures.

When is the right time to seek counseling?
The best time to seek counseling is when you want to change some aspect of your emotional and mental health and are not able to do so on your own. Working with a counselor before becoming frustrated and overwhelmed reduces the distress you experience when something is no longer working for you.
Do you offer a complimentary consultation?
Yes, Marta offers a free initial phone consultation. Call or fill out the contact form to schedule your free consultation today.
Do you accept insurance?
Marta’s practice is a combination of direct-pay and health insurance benefits. Many clients have health insurance that covers therapy or counseling sessions. Marta is an out-of-network provider and is happy to provide you with detailed invoices that you can submit to your insurance company for subsequent reimbursement after each session (payment is due at the time of service).
It is often possible to receive reimbursement from your insurance company when your policy is a PPO or POS plan. Marta will help you navigate the insurance process by counseling you on appropriate questions to ask your insurance company regarding treatment and reimbursement.
