Find your Empowered Self with Dr. Jarmuz
Background
Hi there! I'm Dr. Martha Jarmuz, and I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with over 25 years of experience working in mental health. I actually didn't set out to become a counselor. I originally planned to study medicine! After my first undergraduate psychology classes, though, I was captivated by the workings of the human mind and its deep connection to the body and soul. That fascination turned into a lifelong passion for helping people not only heal, but also discover strengths and possibilities they never knew they had. Since those first psychology classes decades ago, I earned a master's degree in counseling and a doctorate with a specialization in counselor education and supervision.
Counseling for all of life's challenges
During my counseling career, I have had the privilege of working with adults on navigating some of life's most challenging transitions, whether that's coping with anxiety, healing from trauma, working through grief and loss, or juggling the stressors and uncertainties that come up in daily life.
Clinical Approach
I offer a client-centered approach that blends aspects of traditional talk therapy with mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT), and solution-focused strategies. I believe in creating a space where clients can be fully honest and challenge themselves to explore their feelings, process their emotions, challenge their thoughts and behaviors, and gain the clarity and tools they need to navigate life's transitions with confidence and resilience.
Empowerment Counseling
Life can be an adventure. Sometimes that adventure is exciting, sometimes it might be challenging. Whether we're tackling tough conversations or celebrating victories, my goal is for you to leave each session feeling empowered and ready to take the next steps on your personal journey.
About me
As a fellow human being also navigating life's adventures, I also know that it's important to carve out time for peace and self-care. When I'm not working, I can be found hiking wooded trails, baking something sweet, getting lost in a good book, or engaging in creative tasks. I look forward to connecting with you!
