Meet ERin Martin, LPC
I’m here to help you learn how to thrive, not just survive.
Hi, I’m Erin. As a recovering overthinker and honors student I get it. You are tired of living in your head and want to finally feel calm, confident, and present in your life. You’re exhausted from overthinking, wrestling with anxiety, or just feeling like you can’t “turn it off.” I along with so many others have been where you are.
There is a path forward and you don’t have to find it all on your own.
-
My experience both personally and in working with hundreds of other overthinking high-achievers consistently reinforces just how deeply this population can struggle beneath the surface.
It’s hard to ask for help when you feel like you should be able to manage and often you don’t want others to see behind the curtain.
I’m here to help you cultivate a more fulfilling version of your life by working through the chronic overthinking and quieting your inner critic.
-
Because women are carrying so much - school, career, relationships, motherhood, and just life in general. I want to offer a space where all of that feels seen, understood, and supported.
Being a woman, especially one with tendencies to overthink, can honestly feel like a full-time mental juggling act. It’s easy to feel like you’re carrying more than you’re able and I’m here to help you sort through that mental mess and find some peace of mind.

When I’m not doing therapy you’ll find me wrangling my three boys, enjoying the outdoors (unless it’s too hot, or too cold, or too buggy!) and imbibing far too much seltzer water and coffee.
I was born and raised in Maryland and yes, I do love a quality crabcake. I played field hockey and lacrosse and am happy to see the latter making it’s way to the south.
I married a Georgian and I’ve now lived in the southeast for over half of my life. I deeply miss the season of fall, but love that spring comes in February. But also, why is there so much pollen?
I’m a mom of multiples and get the shock that comes with learning you’re having more than one, especially if you already have older children. (No, twins do not run in my family. Yes, I was very surprised.)
I love animals of all kinds, but am definitely not a fan of the bugs down south. Why are there so many roaches? Why are they FLYING?!
I love a good laugh and a relaxing afternoon at home. I own entirely too many hoodies and would wear them year-round if I could.
I’m an Enneagram Type 6 and am always prepared accordingly.
Most of all I try not to take myself or life too seriously, although some days that’s easier said than done.
please Hear me when I say:
Being here doesn’t mean you’re broken. It means you’re human.
Living a life where your accolades, resume, or list of accomplishments don’t align with how you feel can often lead to questioning yourself and wondering, “What is wrong with me?”
Finding yourself struggling says nothing about you other than you’re human, you’ve developed a particular way of being, and that way of being isn’t fully serving you even if it once did. That’s it.
How I work
At the core of my approach to therapy is a belief that we are all doing the best we can with what we have.
Humans are complex beings and so much goes into developing our thought patterns, sense of self, and worldview. In our work together, I’ll draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches to help you build insight, cultivate self-compassion, and discover practical tools that actually fit into your busy life.
My style is warm, straightforward, and occasionally sprinkled with humor because therapy should feel human, not cold and clinical.
You wouldn’t be here if you didn’t have some hope of living more calmly and confidently. If you’re ready for change and want to live a more fulfilled life, I’m here to help.
Therapy with me is…
-
First and foremost, therapy is a collaborative process. A two way street, if you will. No one knows your story better than you do - but I can help connect the dots.
I’ll work with you to make sure we tailor therapy to meet your unique needs. One size certainly does not fit all.
If you’ve been in therapy before you may know how awkward it can be to tell your therapist you’re ready to have less frequent sessions or that you need a break. Don’t worry about that here - I’ve got you.
I make a point of regularly checking in on how you’re feeling about our work so we can adjust accordingly. And I promise, it’s OK to tell me how you really feel.
-
I intentionally have a small, focused practice and work solely with women like you so that I can provide the best care possible. You may see other therapists who say they treat everyone or everything - you won’t find that here. I focus on quality, not quantity.
I’ve spent the majority of my career working with high-achieving individuals and know that this is the population I do my best work with. I love this work and tackling challenges alongside my clients.
-
I’m not the therapist who will just smile and nod - I’m here to provide honest feedback and ask the hard questions to help you uncover what has you stuck. I aim to gently push you while providing support. Think of me as a personal trainer for your brain. No challenge, no change.
And don’t worry, there’s lots of room for humor and levity along the way, too.

Teletherapy isn’t the right fit for everyone, and neither is private pay. But, for many women, this model offers two essential benefits: discretion and convenience.
With teletherapy, you don’t have to worry about people in your small town or community knowing you’re in counseling if that’s of concern. Sessions can be scheduled more easily into your day — all you need is a private space (in GA) and a reliable internet connection. No traffic, having to find childcare, taking extra time off work, or worrying about illness.
Private pay also gives you something insurance can’t: complete control. Your therapy notes remain 100% confidential, you don’t risk being denied future opportunities because you sought care, and you’re not limited by session caps or coverage restrictions.
For women making important decisions about their reproductive health, this level of privacy and autonomy can feel especially empowering.
-
I know, I know, you may want to bring the polished version of yourself to therapy. I’m here to tell you that you don’t have to.
I aim to provide an atmosphere where you can relax both in your mental space and your physical space.
Wear your comfy pants. Sip your cup of coffee. Cry the tears. Cuss if you want to.
Just come and be your authentic self. Not sure what that looks like? Let’s see if we can find out.
