Martha A Carr

Is your relationship caught in painful repetitive interactions? Does each attempt to talk it over escalate into arguments that rarely resolve? Constructive communication is more likely to occur in a calm, respectful atmosphere. I can help improve communication, reduce conflict, and facilitate deeper empathy, love, and understanding of one another. Are you having difficulty resolving a current loss or feeling unsatisfied with your life? I can help free you of patterns that may be limiting your success or interfering with your ability to move past losses and create more fulfilling relationships. Change is hard, even painful, but the rewards are vast.

Recognizing the complexity and uniqueness of each individual or couple with whom I work is essential to my collaborative and in-depth approach. I pay close attention to your personal experience in order to make sense of your emotional reactions and beliefs. This alleviates suffering and sets in motion a process of transformation.

My clients reflect the rich diversity of Los Angeles and often come from creative fields such as music, acting, art or writing. I have over 20 years of experience working with individuals, couples and families in short or long-term psychotherapy, and am active in my professional community. I love my work!
