Mrs Barbara Martin

Licensed Mental Health Counselor

“Whether you are a couple struggling to connect or an individual feeling stuck, I can help! With over 15 years of clinical experience, I specialize in couples’ issues - infidelity, conflict, communication, divorce, neurodiversity, coparenting & sex.”

About Me

Whether you are a couple struggling to connect or an individual feeling stuck, I can help! I offer experienced guidance to navigate complex relationship dynamics. With over 20 years of clinical experience, I specialize in couples' issues. This includes infidelity, communication, and neurodiversity. Individuals feeling overwhelmed also find a supportive space here. My aim is to help you find clarity and build stronger connections.

Approach

When people come in feeling stuck or disconnected, I focus on practical steps that shift daily patterns while honoring emotion. Sessions in my Beverly office or online move at a steady, collaborative pace—brief check-ins, focused skill practice, and space to process what surfaces. Between meetings we set small experiments or communication practices tailored to neurodiverse needs, co‑parenting stress, or repair after betrayals, tracking what helps and adjusting as we go. This way of working fits adults and couples seeking clear, compassionate direction and tangible change.
