Martrell Kelly John
At times life experiences are overwhelming, compromising, and/or traumatizing. No life is without challenges or cookie cut. This can include physical/mental illness or disability, severed relationships or divorce, death, abuse, assault, or accidents. Challenges may occur from simply trying to manage expectations, performance demands, self-confidence, or self-identity. I am passionate about helping individuals grow through challenging experiences. I have over ten years of experience engaging with families, children, adolescents, and adults in behavioral/mental health, hospice, bereavement, foster care, adoption, disability, and educational settings. It is my belief that every individual has unique strengths and resiliency. By utilizing a holistic and diverse approach, together, we can navigate the process of adjustment, exploring, and learning techniques that are specific to your needs in a safe, caring, and non-judgmental environment. My goal is to help you achieve emotional and mental wellness and increased awareness of your needs and values for an improved daily functioning and meaningful life.
