Ebony (Calm. Counseled. Thoughts., PLLC) Martinez

It amazes me how many individuals living with Anxiety, a type of Mood Disorder, Dissociation, and/or other effects of Trauma often feel misunderstood and under-represented. Gaining awareness of this issue feeds my desire to assist others through clinical mental health therapy and/or Christian counseling. Yes, advocating for wholesome mental health is a stance I am committed to assisting others with. I can’t tell you how often I’ve learned of a beautiful human who has isolated themselves, harmed themselves, and more because they felt unseen, misunderstood, or identified as neurodivergent. I’m open to seeing you. Yes, You! The person behind the mask. I started Calm. Counseled. Thoughts., because I wanted to express as loud as I can that…YOU MATTER. I also provide faith-based and trauma-informed care adults, with specialized support for abuse recovery, or life in the foster care system. I offer both individual and family therapy using eclectic approaches like EMDR, Christian counseling, and cognitive restructuring techniques. As a culturally responsive therapist, I’m passionate about creating a healing space for people of color, veterans, active duty military, and people with disabilities. I’m in-network with Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and Medcost in both North Carolina and South Carolina, and I offer sliding scale options to help make care more accessible.
