Martineau Counseling

Hello, I am William Martineau but go by Cory. I have worked in the mental health field for 11 years in many different capacities including community based services, crisis, community mental health counseling, and for the last 3 years at my own private practice. You may feel like you're doing everything you're supposed to do, yet something still feels off. Maybe anxiety, depression, self-doubt, emotional overwhelm, relationship difficulties, or unhealthy coping behaviors continue to show up no matter how hard you try to move forward. You may find yourself stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, people pleasing, avoiding difficult emotions, shutting down, overthinking, or feeling disconnected from the life you want to live. Often, they began as ways of adapting to difficult experiences, stressful environments, painful relationships, or unmet emotional needs. What once helped you survive may now be keeping you stuck. I specialize in working with adults struggling with the lasting effects of trauma, anxiety, depression, emotional neglect, low self-worth, relationship challenges, ADHD, and disordered eating. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I strive to create a space where you can openly explore your experiences without judgment while also developing practical skills to help you move forward. Therapy is not just about understanding why you struggle, it's about helping you build the flexibility, resilience, and confidence needed to live a meaningful life. I draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and other evidence-based approaches. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all method, I tailor therapy to your individual needs, goals, and experiences. I believe meaningful change happens when insight is paired with action. Together, we will work to understand the patterns that keep you stuck, process difficult experiences, strengthen your relationship with yourself, and help you move toward the life you want to build. Change is possible, even when it feels difficult to imagine.Finding the right therapist is important. I offer a free 15-minute consultation where we can discuss what brings you to therapy, answer any questions you may have, and determine whether we are a good fit. If you're ready to take the next step, I would be honored to support you in that process.
