Martha L Villafrade

Martha L. Villafrade brings a real world warmth to her work the kind you feel when someone genuinely listens and does not judge your story. She understands that starting therapy can be hard, and sticking with it can feel even harder. That is why she focuses on meeting you exactly where you are, without pressure or pretense.

Her style is straightforward, honest, and deeply human. She believes growth happens when clients feel safe enough to speak openly, and supported enough to take brave steps forward. As a first generation immigrant and retired active duty service member, Martha carries a lived understanding of change, resilience, and identity and she brings that insight into each session.
