Hannah Martyn, Ph.D., is a licensed clinical psychologist with the Anxiety and Trauma Clinic. She provides evidence-based treatment to help clients tackle unhelpful behaviors and thought-patterns, cope with uncertainty, and increase overall functioning. Her primary goal is to help clients improve their quality of life and reclaim what matters most to them.  Dr. Martyn sees adolescents (14 and up) and adults, and provides mental health treatment for the following concerns:

 

• Obsessive-compulsive disorder

• Anxiety and related disorders including:

  • Panic

  • Phobias

• Trauma-related disorders including PTSD

• Depression

• Health concerns including:

  • Chronic pain and migraines

  • Insomnia and other sleep problems

  • Reproductive health (e.g. coping with infertility, loss, postpartum depression and anxiety)

 

Dr. Martyn approaches treatment through a cognitive-behavioral framework with an emphasis on the intersection between mind and body. First and foremost, she collaborates with each client to customize treatment to their unique needs and strengths. She uses gold-standard, evidence-based approaches while allowing space for flexibility and creativity within the treatment process. Treatment is dynamic, and Dr. Martyn aims to help you feel heard, validated, and understood as you work together to bring about change and insight. She is skilled in providing interventions including Exposure and Response Prevention for OCD and anxiety, Prolonged Exposure and Cognitive Processing Therapy for PTSD, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for depression and health-related concerns.
