I was worried about connecting with a therapist online and from my first session Marta has been amazing! She truly listens and is focused on me during our session. Marta is so warm and caring. Her feedback and suggestions of things to try have already helped so much after just two sessions. I highly recommend Marta!

Marta is one of the most calm and caring individuals I have met. Her energy is always very positive and she is the embodiment of unconditional positive regard for her clients. She made me feel very safe and was able to create space for me to be vulnerable and talk about my problems. She is a wonderful listener and I am very thankful to have been matched with her - we did amazing work together. I highly recommend her. Thank you Marta!
