COUNSELING AND THERAPY

CURRENT SERVICES

Dr. John meets in-person and remotely with clients in Southern California. Individual, small group, and remote brief intervention is available in the following areas:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Depression and Anxiety

CPT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) is a short term, effective, lasting treatment where Dr. Martin acts like a coach teaching strategies to overcome Depression and Anxiety. CBT focuses on identifying, understanding and changing thinking which leads to behavior changes. CBT empowers you to be involved in your own recovery, and therefore giving a sense of control and self-confidence.

PTSD/Trauma Counseling and Evaluation

A program for military veterans as well as individuals and couples suffering from trauma and PTSD in their life. Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a common reaction to traumatic or stressful events. Someone experiencing PTSD may relieve traumatic experiences through memories and dreams, may avoid reminders of the trauma to prevent emotional distress, may have memory issues, or heightened reactivity to one’s surroundings. I provide evaluation and therapy for PTSD symptoms, depression and grief counseling to individuals and couples. In a comfortable and supportive atmosphere, I offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each of my clients and their individualized needs.

Christian Counseling

Dr. Martin has been a Christian since 1984 and is committed to providing loving and healing counseling to Christian individuals and couples. He has maintained a private practice specializing in helping pastors and church-referred individuals and couples with problems such as marital distress, addictive behavior and stress/burn-out.

Health Behavior Change and Addictions Treatment

Brief Intervention counseling and intervention is available in the areas of smoking treatment, exercise promotion, alcohol and drug intervention, diet change and weight modification. Low cost, highly effective web-based interventions are also offered for smoking, diet, alcohol/drugs, and exercise.

Couples/Relationship Counseling

Counseling is available for couples, individuals and leadership groups through communication therapy sessions. Subject to availability, there is a program for couples who may be particularly interested in receiving counseling and conflict assistance aboard a boat for a day or overnight.
