Anita J. Martin M.S., LCSW Consulting & Psychotherapy

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience providing residential dual diagnosis treatment to patients struggling with substance use, complex trauma, relational problems, chronic illness, and mental health issues. Most recently I worked closely with patients experiencing the emotional journey of cancer diagnosis & treatment. I began my professional career in small business where I worked with educators, families, and children impacted by Autism Spectrum Diagnoses. The experiences I had inspired me to pursue graduate studies in clinical therapy. Prior to co-running a family business, I was an at home mom and wife. It was my experiences in these roles that piqued my passion for helping women navigate motherhood, marriage, family dynamics, and professional responsibilities. I have a deep understanding of the challenges women face whether single, partnered, or raising a family. In a world that says we can have it all maintaining a strong sense of identity, personal boundaries, and self-care is imperative. I hold a bachelor’s degree from Lipscomb University and a graduate degree from The University of Tennessee in clinical social work. I am certified and experienced in Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Brainspotting Somatic Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, playing with my doggie, and exploring creative activities.
