Hi Martha! I saw your ad in the BP Press and am delighted to see that you have chosen this new career! You were such a wonderful midwife and I'm sure you're an incredible psychotherapist. Your community is lucky to have you serving in this capacity. Congratulations and best wishes! I hope our paths cross again one day :) - Lilly
Hello Martha,
I was visiting Ava in the past week and she shared that you had pivoted toward psychotherapy. I went back to school in 2003 and I do only EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) mostly for couples and families. I'm Certified as an EFT therapist and Supervisor and have a very busy private practice. I thought I would reach out across the miles. Lots of life has happened. Mary
Hi Martha,
I hope you are doing well.
I was consulting therapists from my employers and was suggested to explore long term therapy.
I came across your profile and wanted to check if we can schedule a session for a discussion.
Please let me know if you need any information from my end.
I will be waiting for your reply.
Thank you.
Hi Martha,
I am seeking support for OCD and BPD, which are currently causing intense distress and urgent relationship issues. I was wondering if I would be able to book a consult to see if we are a good match.
Thank you,
Kat
