Hey! My name is Martha Fenimore and I have enjoyed working as a licensed therapist for over 25 years. Having been educated with a Social Work background has taught me how to see every person as an individual who is influenced by family, work, sexuality, health, stage of life, finances, and social supports, to name a few. Identifying these influences helps both of us better understand the reason for your coming to therapy and possible obstacles getting in your way. In my career as a therapist, I have worked with a variety of individual, families, and groups. We have tackled numerous subjects including self-esteem, sexuality, trauma, family of origin influences, relationships, depression, anxiety, career development, goal clarification, etc. I enjoy helping clients identify their healthy coping skills and teaching them new ones. My clients describe me as a good listener who is knowledgeable, encouraging, and non-judgmental. If I am the kind of therapist you are looking for, please feel free to contact me at any time. I check my emails throughout the day and will respond to you as soon as I am able. Please be aware that I do not go by the Better Help schedule, so give me possible times you are available and I'll pick something good for us both. Thank-you for your consideration. Martha Fenimore, LCSW

Having experienced the benefit of being born and raised in Brooklyn, NY I was gifted with exposure to a varied cultural base. My first work engagement in the mental health field occurred in 1996. The facility was a medicaid based dual diagnosis treatment center with the primary diagnoses psychiatric with a secondary substance use disorder. My interactions with the patients flowed naturally and, in my discussions with staff, the owner of the facility suggested that I should get my license in mental health counseling. I began graduate study in 1998 while working full time in varied facilities in order to gain maximum exposure to diverse mental health/substance abuse modalities. My work experience included the Palm Beach County psychiatric crisis stabilization unit, The Drug Abuse Foundation in Delray Beach and the Juvenile Intervention Facility in Broward County. Upon graduation in 2000 and license activation I spent time as a therapist at the Renaissance Institute in Boca Raton. Shortly after the events of 9/11/2001 I began the process of creating a private practice in psychotherapy. During the growth of my practice beyond seeing patients for individual therapy, I provided services for EAP programs, sober house residences and treatment facilities. In December 2010 I closed my practice and relocated with my dogs to western North Carolina. I spent ten years at Pavillon in Mill Spring, NC as a clinical supervisor until November 2020. I continue to reside in North Carolina and hold active licenses in Florida (LMHC) and North Carolina (LCAS). I am experienced with a varied patient demographic and am easy to connect with. While currently semi-retired I continue seeking to help provide guidance and direction for others.

I am a clinical psychologist, licensed in Florida with over 25 years of professional work experience. Sometimes, "therapy" seems to be identified and connotated with an idea that the psychologist or therapist has the answers to all of one's challenges. I believe therapy to be a place in which you can express yourself without judgement, there is likely a natural rapport and connection. One has to feel comfortable in this process. Who are we. Who am I. The multitude of variables and influences that influence us. This carries on through our life as we work, have children, and suffer loss, change, and attempts to see our lives as worthy. We are human. I can tell you my work history, that varies from state psychiatric, to homeless, addiction, to the elderly. I have worked with clients suffering from depression, bipolar, anxiety, trauma. I am EMDR certified, technique helping those that suffer from trauma and anxiety. I believe all connected. It is all encompassing. Our childhood history follows through the multitude of variables we face as we grow older. To follow our hearts, to self-actualize, to be authentic, to self-love. So much to say, so little space, it's only a conversation and then you go from there. I believe that you are the expert of your story, I am here to listen to it.
