PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE & PROJECTS

As a seasoned clinical psychologist with extensive experience in personal and couples therapy, Dr. Martin specializes in trauma, PTSD, depression, and relationship challenges, particularly for veterans and those affected by traumatic stress. By integrating my scientific approach with faith-based principles as a Christian, Dr. Martin offers compassionate counseling and therapy for individuals and couples looking to heal and grow in both their mental and spiritual lives.

After years of research and teaching, including work on the HIV/AIDS crisis in Africa, Dr. Martin transitioned to writing about psychology and other life topics. His books, Psychology Confidential and the upcoming 7 Sheets to the Wind, offer unique insights on studying and teaching psychology and my experiences as a sailboat captain. Dr. Martin will be posting these and other writings in this section.

Dr. Martin will be starting a new podcast for writing and interests in the world of psychology. He will be sharing a variety of discussions, interviews, commentary and reactions to our world and culture, where nearly everything seems to reflect our psychological need to explain (and often blame) the chaos around us.

Dr. Martin is a storyteller at heart who is happy to share his journey as a psychologist and author who balances both practice and pen.

At this time, he is open to speaking, workshops, and podcast opportunities that aim to make psychology concepts accessible to everyone.
