About me

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 therapy 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, let’s connect to see if we are a good fit. 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 therapy concepts to life, making them more relatable and apply the principles within their own lives. I am certified in clinical trauma therapy techniques, as well as hold a certification in treating ADHD clients. I offer assessments for ADHD testing using FDA cleared and vetted technology to test the three main components of ADHD— inattentiveness, impulsivity and hyperactivity. These services are not covered by insurance, but are offered for a low cost to encourage equitable access to care

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

Currently , my client return rate is 87%, and my clients appear to 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 to aid in healing and I provide extensive support to aid my clients to feel supported as they create a new positive narrative for their life. Most importantly, my clients consistently report a more positive outlook 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.
