Dr. Marty Cooper

About

I specialize in working with LGBTQ+ individuals, trauma history, and treating counselors and psychologists. I utilize an approach that is catered to your needs. You have had difficulties in your relationship and you have often wondered why. You know that there were some difficult things in the past but they are history so you are not sure if that is the reason. I can help you understand how the past is still impacting you and how you can change this.
