About Parisha Martin

A Safe and Supportive Space

​

I deeply care about providing a safe and supportive environment where my clients feel heard, known, and valued. Trust, empathy, and unconditional positive regard are the cornerstones of our therapeutic relationship. It is both an honor and a privilege to work with each of my clients.

I am committed to working with individuals who are engaged and curious about self-discovery. If you are willing to explore new ways of coping, relating, and connecting with yourself and others, I am here to support your journey. Change is not only possible, but goals can also be reached. The feelings you experience, though part of the human experience, need not hold you back from living a life aligned with your values and goals.

​

Specialized Training and Experience

​

I am a Associate Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of Texas, providing therapy and life coaching for Texas residents. For clients outside of Texas, I offer virtual coaching and accountability support. I bring extensive training and experience to our sessions, particularly in working with clients who have faced trauma and loss, grappled with self-doubt, battled depression and anxiety, or sought clarity in their life purpose and career direction.

​

My Educational Background

​

I earned my Master of Arts in Psychology Marriage Family Therapy from The University of Massachusetts Global, with extensive supervised graduate and post-graduate training in various counseling domains. Additionally, I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies from Purdue University Global. 

​

Professional Journey

​

Before transitioning into private practice, I served at Ettie Lee Youth & Family Services and Educorp Career College holding an array of positions from therapeutic behavioral specialist to career development counselor. My professional experiences have shaped my practice, gained from working in various counseling, corporate and educational settings.

​

My Approach

​

While my education, training, and professional background inform my therapeutic approach, I want my clients to feel understood and accepted for where they are. I emphasize that change and healing are possible. My counseling style is full of warmth and authenticity and is grounded in values-driven, trauma-informed and evidence-based practices. 

​
