Martha D'Abruzzo

For questions about my services or availability please contact me at: marthadabruzzolcsw@gmail.com OR SCROLL TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE TO "Client Portal" to request a free video consultation I offer the Safe and Sound Protocol as an 8-12 week program including 1-2 video meetings per week of listening to specially filtered music on an app on your device with over the ear headphones. This program is used internationally by occupational therapists, psychotherapists and other providers to support the nervous system, sensory processing and calm focus for adults (click "Client Portal" at the bottom of this page to schedule a 30 minute free consultation) My approach to therapy is based in relational and family systems theory as well as mindfulness-based philosophy and practice. I take a trauma sensitive approach with an awareness that many of us moved through challenges in ways that leave us and our nervous system's burdened and limited. I have chosen to train in the methods which resonate most with my style of practice and have been researched to have positive outcomes for the reduction of PTSD, Insomnia, Mood, Anxiety, Depression and ADHD symptoms in adults. I am also a Safe and Sound Protocol Facilitator and a Yoga Nidra Meditation teacher. I have a training and experience in family and relational systems therapy, body-psychotherapy therapy, cognitive-behavioral, dialectical-behavioral, EMDR, mindfulness-based and trauma-informed meditation and movement therapy. Together we can explore your goals and make a plan to work to restore your inner balance. Inclusion Statement: I acknowledge the systemic and structural issues that affect clients within and outside of a therapeutic setting. I continue to work on promoting diversity, equity, and love in the communities I participate in and around the world. As a therapist, I believe I am responsible for creating a more just, equal, and inclusive place for all. I acknowledge how white supremacy has oppressed Black, Latinx, Indigenous, and Asian people, and other people of color and I am actively working to decolonize myself and my work. I recognize the oppression, abuse and exclusion the LGBTQIA+ community has experienced in our patriarchal society. I aim to work with you to deconstruct limiting beliefs about how life should be enjoyed. **I believe not only in showing compassion and continually learning about forms of oppression, but also to actively speak out against injustices experienced by oppressed communities.** I continually work to eradicate heteronormativity and exclusive language in my practice. I want to honor each individual I work with and their unique lived experience so they may find the support, confidence and community they are hoping to nurture.
