“I have known Carolyn Martin for over thirty-five years. During that time, I have had the opportunity of working and consulting together… I have come to know Carolyn as a highly skilled clinician dedicated to help her clients as well as an invaluable clinical resource. I highly recommend her as a therapist.

Carolyn's Approach

 

After decades as a therapist in Austin, I thought I had retired. But life had other plans. Returning to this work wasn’t just a choice—it was a homecoming. Therapy changed my life, and now I get to help others transform theirs. This isn’t just what I do—it’s who I am. 

In my private practice, I combine intuition, experience, and creativity to offer a personalized, holistic approach to therapy. My own life journey deepens my empathy, and I tailor each session to meet your unique needs with compassion and real-world wisdom.

I’ve worked with people from all walks of life and know that no two paths are the same. Whether you’re facing grief, trauma, anxiety, or relationship challenges, I offer a safe, non-judgmental space where healing can begin.

They say laughter is the best medicine—and sometimes, it is. Therapy isn’t just about tissues and tears. We’ll tackle the tough stuff, but we might share a few laughs too. A good laugh can be as healing as a good cry… and a lot less messy.
