Marti Pine, LCSW, M.Ed

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience supporting teens and young adults through some of life’s most confusing, overwhelming, and defining moments. My background spans school systems, community programs, and clinical settings, but at the core, my approach is always the same: grounded, compassionate, and solution-oriented.

I specialize in working with Gen Z and Millennials navigating real-life challenges like anxiety, ADHD, relationship struggles, life transitions, and body image concerns. Whether you're dealing with high expectations, burnout, social pressure, or just feeling stuck, I get how heavy it can feel to carry it all.

Maybe this is your first time trying therapy or maybe you're giving it another shot after a not-so-great experience or break. Either way, finding a therapist you genuinely click with is key. I’m trained in evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, and REBT, and integrate mindfulness and trauma-informed care into my work. But therapy with me isn’t a one-size-fits-all experience. We’ll figure out what actually works for you! Whether that’s learning concrete coping tools, exploring past patterns, or just having a space where you can be unapologetically yourself, I aim to create a space where you feel seen, supported, and challenged in all the right ways.

If you’re looking for a therapist who’s honest, down-to-earth, and not afraid to call things out (with kindness), I’m here for it and for you.
