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, you can ask 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 Treasurer of Houston Association of Marriage & Family Therapy (HAMFT), and the treasurer of the OLLU alumni board
Public speaker on topics related to family, relationships and first generation Latino populations
Certified in Psychological Services for Spanish Speaking Populations (PSSSP)
Trained in Gottman Couples Therapy & Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to better support my couples and families
My Approach
The driving force behind my work is that I truly want your relationship to work. I understand how vital it is for all humans to have healthy relationships, especially the most intimate ones. I believe in the foundation of families, however you define them. Having healthy relationships improves your quality of life, which creates happier environments for all. So yes, I’m rooting for you!
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.
