About

Hello,
My name is Stephen Martell, and I am a Licensed Practicing Counselor in Georgia. I truly enjoy helping people work through some very tough moments in their lives in order to see them learn, grow, and live . Some specific areas that I may be of the most help to you could be adjusting to changes like job and relationship changes. I may also be able to help you with concerns regarding anxiety, depression, communication skill development, interpersonal skill and relationship development, as well as self-esteem development and maintenance.
My approach to therapy could be described as relaxed and built on the therapeutic relationship we mutually create. I believe that your trust in me and the rapport that we develop are paramount to the success you experience. I see myself as a person-centered counselor and collaborator with you on your journey to help you reach your goals. I pull ideas and interventions from Solution-Focused therapy, Cognitive Behavioral, and Reality Therapy, as well as Narrative and Motivational Interviewing. I believe in helping you shine a light on your strengths, abilities, and skills so that you reach the goals that you decide upon and set.
I believe that therapy is a professional, mutually respectful relationship, that is conducted collaboratively, and in a non-judgmental way. Lastly, I believe that you are the expert in your life and believe that you have the skills needed to reach your goals.
I look forward to helping you along your journey!
