Marta Cofone, Lpc, Ncc

“I offer a collaborative space where individuals and families can build upon their resiliency and cope with whatever stressors that life has presented.” 

I am passionate about working with individuals and couples across the lifespan from adolescence to older adults with a range of experiences including substance abuse, trauma, anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. Working from a trauma-informed lens, I view therapy as a collaborative effort where individuals and couples can identify their strengths and cope with their problems more effectively.  

Coming from an integrative perspective, I recognize that every person and couple has their own unique history and set of concerns. I want to meet you where you are in your journey as a partner in self-discovery and change. Frameworks that I utilize include acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and a person-centered foundation. As a trained EMDR therapist, I want to help clients process trauma and life disrupting events to live a more fulfilling and meaningful life. The first step I take as a therapist is creating a safe and nonjudgmental space for individuals and couples to tap into their inner resources and overcome their challenges.

Therapy is a powerful resource when a major crisis occurs as well as for those who are doing well and are seeking to learn more about themselves. I believe individuals and couples inherently have the capacity to gain self-awareness and implement positive changes if the conditions are present to promote growth. It would be my pleasure to help you discover your strengths and be a part of your journey of health and healing.  


Who I work with:

I work with adults, adolescents, and their families who are seeking to overcome challenges with substance use, trauma, mood disorders, and life transitions. I focus on helping you identify and take steps that integrate your values into your life. I know the pain that can come from living with these stressors, so I work to create a safe, warm, and empathetic environment where you can begin the healing process.
