Marty Beach

LAPC

Marty’s personal journey has been shaped by a blend of experiences, from navigating childhood and adolescent trauma to be part of a neurodivergent family. These challenges have fostered a deep sense of resilience and empathy, allowing her to connect with individuals facing their own struggles. She understands the pain of feeling unheard and unseen and is committed to providing a safe and non-judgmental space where people can feel truly understood.
As a wife in a military family, Marty moved frequently and adapted to constant change. These transitions have taught her how to remain flexible, find stability in uncertainty, and help others do the same. Marty bring this adaptability into her counseling practice, supporting clients in navigating life’s unpredictable shifts and challenges.
Having been a part of a neurodivergent family, where ADHD and ASD are a part of everyday life, Marty has a deep appreciation for neurodiversity and the unique strengths it brings. She is particularly passionate about working with neurodivergent individuals, recognizing the value in their diverse perspectives, and helping them embrace their full potential.
For Marty faith is a central guiding force in life, and she surrendered her path to God before she even began her counseling studies, trusting that He would lead her where she is most needed. Marty’s goal is to walk alongside her clients, creating a space where they feel heard, supported, and empowered to heal and grow.
Through empathy, understanding, and a commitment to growth, Marty aims to help individuals build resilience, embrace their uniqueness, and find strength in their own stories. Whether working one-on-one with clients or collaborating with fellow counselors, she values teamwork and the shared mission of supporting others on their journey toward healing.
