Shay Martin
Specializations
I specialize in helping individuals and couples make sense of some of life’s most painful and destabilizing experiences: childhood hurt, betrayal and infidelity, grief and loss (including anticipatory grief), and the complex emotional work of rebuilding and healing after divorce and heartbreak.
Whether you’re navigating rupture in your relationship, trying to process loss, or facing a life change that feels like a fracture, I’m here to help you step through the pain with clarity, compassion, and tools for healing.
I take a trauma-informed, relational approach, because how we connect (or disconnect) with others is deeply tied to how we carry pain, loss, and hope. I integrate evidence-based modalities including Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), and other supportive concepts to support deeper healing and lasting change.
