Kathryn Martin, A-LPC-MHSP

I believe therapy is a space to slow down, get curious, and reconnect with yourself. It’s not about fixing who you are, but about understanding your experiences, building self-compassion, and developing tools to move through life with more clarity and confidence. I strive to meet clients with warmth, authenticity, compassion, and a healthy dose of humor, walking alongside them as they make sense of their story and move toward a life that feels more aligned and meaningful.

I earned my Master of Education in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Georgia and have experience working with individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, low self-worth, and major life transitions. I have supported clients who have experienced both simple and complex trauma, including sexual assault and interpersonal violence.

My approach to therapy is integrative and collaborative, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotion-Focused Therapy, and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). I believe therapy should feel safe and supportive; you don’t need to have everything figured out before you walk in! My approach in a therapeutic relationship is conversational, thoughtful, and paced to what feels manageable, with space for both reflection and practical tools, without judgment.

Outside of the therapy space I enjoy spending quality time with my husband, Jesse, and our sweet dog Nova! I’m an avid Peloton rider and enjoy cooking, reading, lake days, traveling, and attending as many UGA football games as possible. I make time to visit my hometown in Georgia whenever I can to be with friends and family, especially my niece and nephews. I believe therapy can be both meaningful and human, so you may notice the occasional pop culture or meme reference when a little humor feels helpful!
