Hello, my name is "Marty" Ferraioli, and I am accepting new clients who would like to make positive changes in their lives, but don't know where to start. I use humor and relatability to help my clients achieve their personal wellness goals. I provide in-person and telehealth options for your convenience. If you're feeling "stuck," struggling with symptoms of ADHD, anxiety, trauma, or coping with the stressors of the world, reach out. I support my clients as they uncover and challenge unhelpful thoughts and beliefs, and support them as they initiate positive changes. I use creative and tangible interventions that help my clients bring concepts to life, making them more relatable within their own lives. I am certified in clinical trauma therapy techniques, as well as hold a certification in treating ADHD clients. Reach out, and let's see how we can partner together to help you feel more in control and make progress toward your wellness goals.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

During our first session we will gather background information, review treatment goals and expectations for therapy as well as, dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions. We will explore your interests, what is important to you in therapy, and how I can serve you! I will use evidence-based, objective testing and rating scales to tease out symptoms of ADHD and to aid you in overcoming setbacks and barriers that keep you from being your best-self.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

The feedback I receive from my clients is that they enjoy the fact that I am proactive and care about their well-being, I am actively engaged in sessions, and I provide direction in the therapy assignments. I use humor and relatability. My clients report feeling supported and more positive after the initial session.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

The clients who are overwhelmed and may have tried therapy in the past find that I am proactive in their treatment and offer a non-judgmental, supportive, and affirming environment, where clients can freely express themselves and begin their journey of self-healing.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I use a creative approach to the evidence-based practices, engaging my clients in understanding the CBT relationship between thoughts, emotions and behaviors to initiate positive change to thwart the unhelpful thinking traps which keep client's stuck in a loop of behaviors that hold them back from achieving goals, moving forward and feeling more positive about themselves.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

I engage clients in self awareness of feelings and thoughts to move through emotional situations and engage in more positive interactions with others, including setting healthy emotional boundaries for more balanced and positive relationships with themselves and with others.

Psychoanalytic

I use psychoanalytic therapy with a trauma-informed lens to help my clients explore and understand how their past experiences influence their current thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I aid my clients in moving through their past experiences, crafting a new narrative and repairing their unhealed, fractured selves.

She’s a real person who truly understands life, people, and everything that comes with it. I’ve become a whole new person thanks to her guidance, teaching, and wisdom. I’m so grateful for her patience and sense of humor. The best part of our sessions are the assignments and handouts, which have been a huge help for me as a visual learner. Thanks, Doc, for your unwavering support—God knew what He was doing when He gave you this mission.

There is just something about Marty that makes therapy click for me lately. She shows a lot of things on her screen and helps me work my own way to answers. She brings up different types of therapies and thought processes. I feel like I am learning not only about myself but about the way that humans work and the world as a whole.

She will listen carefully then pin point onto what is the core of it and work with you on how to better approach or cope with it. She is very direct but sometimes that exactly what you need to cut through the fog.
