Hi, I’m Amy Martin
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Certified Addictions Specialist (CAS) and a Professional Coach. I’ve been helping people like you create meaningful and fulfilling lives for more than 15 years.
I am licensed to practice as an LPC and CAS in the State of Colorado. I serve coaching clients all over the world. My experience is broad, allowing me to help you with a wide variety of concerns.
I’m a Colorado native, growing up in Denver and spending most of my life in the Denver area. I also had the wonderful opportunity to live on the western slope for four years and provide rural mental health care. This has given me a valuable understanding of the unique challenges of rural life.
I’m the lucky mom of two adult children and, when I’m not helping clients, I love to ski, hike, read, cook and have fun with my family.

My Approach
True well-being includes not only mental health, but also physical, relational, and spiritual health. I take a holistic approach and, together, we create a plan that is unique to your needs, goals, and dreams.
I truly respect the bravery it takes for you to seek help in improving your life. My goal is to make our work together purposeful and meaningful to you. “Brave” looks different to each of us, and I’m here to help you find YOUR bravest life.
Counseling
I believe that the counseling journey should be a collaborative and clear process tailored to fit the needs, goals, and dreams of each client. From there, I’ll use evidence-based practices, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, to help you reach your goals.
If you’ve been struggling or feeling stuck for a while, the idea of focusing on your dreams may seem like a luxury but trust that your struggles don’t and won’t define you. You’re complex and limitless thanks to your unique gifts, life experiences and resilience. It’s this combination of strengths that, with professional guidance, can take you beyond your current challenges to a life of joy and contentment.
Coaching
Coaching is future-focused and draws on your strengths to make the most of your personal and professional potential. If you’re like many who, especially since the pandemic, are seeking more from life, coaching is an ideal option for support and guidance in a process based upon your inherent strengths. As your coach, I work with you in a creative partnership in which I help you clarify your goals; create a roadmap to reach them; and help you overcome challenges along the way. Coaching serves you if you’re ready to up-level in your career; find greater purpose in your life; rebuild after a difficult life event like divorce; and/or simply get “unstuck”. Let’s get started so you can reach a life of great fulfillment and achievement!
