Martha Wade
Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist
Hi! I’m Martha. So glad you are here!
It takes a lot of courage and motivation to start, or even consider, starting therapy. Not to mention, the patience you need to search and find the right therapist for you.
The best way to meet me and get a feel for our connection is to schedule a free virtual consultation. During the 20 minute meeting, we talk about how therapy works, what it’s like to work with me, what you can expect from our therapeutic relationship and any other curiosities that pop up.
For now, here are a few quick facts about me:
I’m a graduate of UNLV and Our Lady of the Lake University (OLLU)
Currently serving as Board Member of Houston Association of Marriage & Family Therapy (HAMFT), and the treasurer of the OLLU alumni board
Certified in Psychological Services for Spanish Speaking Populations (PSSSP)
Trained in Gottman Couples Therapy & Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to better support couples and families.
I live in Kingwood with my husband and three kids.
My Approach
I show up in therapy with a deep belief in the power of connection. We all deserve a 'home base' that feels safe and supportive, and I am genuinely invested in helping you find that.
I also believe that every person has the capacity to be a great partner when they have the right tools and support.
I am deeply committed to the health of your relationship because I know how vital connection is to our overall well-being. Whether we are rebuilding a foundation or repairing a rift, I am an active partner in your progress. I’m rooting for you to transform the tension into a relationship that feels like a place of peace.
Explore
Let’s be honest, most of the time you probably don’t know what’s wrong, you just know things don’t feel right. We will explore where the breakdowns are, and help you identify what the problems are that you want to work on in therapy.
Communicate
How well do you know how to communicate what is going on inside your mind? That’s where therapy will help. Learn how to communicate so your loved ones can listen and understand.
Learn
Learn to listen. Learn to empathize. Learn to disagree respectfully. Learn to adapt to differences. Learn to resolve conflict. Learn to solve issues and work together. Learn who your loved one truly is today.
