David Martin, Ph.D.: A clearing space for healing

Client centered psychotherapy and assessment rooted in psychological science.

Empowering you to build healthier relationships with others and yourself

I work collaboratively with my clients, empowering them to find balance, wholeness, and greater happiness in life. My broad experience both in a variety of psychological treatment modalities (Internal Family Systems-IFS-, EMDR and Somatic Experiencing), as well as in working with a wide range of clients, enables me to provide therapy that is both deeply compassionate and well-rooted in psychological science.

About Dr. David Martin

Psychologist, PhD, LP

My work as a psychologist is rooted in compassion and psychological science. I believe in helping my clients to feel wholeness, self-acceptance, and peace. 

I graduated from the University of Kansas with a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology with concentrations in Positive Psychology, Attachment Theory and Mindfulness, and since then have had a variety of working experiences that have deepened my understanding of the human condition. 

I have Studied Zen Buddhism in Kyoto Japan, worked in college counseling centers across the United States, completed IFS level 1 training through the IFS institute and served as the Clinical Director at the Creighton University Counseling Center.

Working with me, you will find an advocate who believes in you and your innate ability to overcome adversity, live fully, and heal.

Group Therapy

All parts are welcome. Using the Internal Family Systems model as a guide participants will learn to explore and speak for their parts in a small group setting with 3 or 4 other group members. 

ADHD and Adult ASD Assessment Services

Neurodivergence can take many forms. Whether you feel you may be on the ASD spectrum or have ADHD, I offer assessments that are more than just providing a label.

Rather, receiving a diagnosis is just the first step in a process of coming to better understand who you are, how your brain works, and how you can embrace your strengths and learn new skills to help you thrive.

I work with Adults and Teens to provide thorough and research based assessments. Once your assessment is complete, I offer coaching to help you transform insights into concrete self-improvements.

How I Help

Individual Therapy

One-on-one therapy with Teens (age 14 and up) and Adults. Individual therapy is an opportunity to dive deep into the things that leave you feeling frustrated or numb. Often in individual therapy I use IFS (Inter Family Systems Therapy), a transformative and evidenced-based psychological approach which helps you to find greater inner-harmony and peace. IFS is rooted in the belief that you already have the potential to heal within you, and that by accepting and listening to yourself you can overcome trauma and recover wholeness.

Couples Counseling

Feeling misunderstood by your partner can be painful and confusing. I work with couples just like you to help you overcome conflict, re-connect, and come to a better understanding of what your emotional needs are and how to meet them.
