Embrace the Future with Avani Counseling
Live Your Best Life
Sean Martiny, LCPC, DBTC, NCC
With over 10 years experience in the field of therapy, I specialize in utilizing mindfulness-based treatments like Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and a family systems approach. This allows me to tailor the therapeutic experience of each client to best fit their individual needs. Through this integrative approach, I am well equipped to aide adolescents, adults, and immediate family units in lessening their experienced life-interfering symptoms which contribute to their anxiety, depression, anger, and/or relational issues while working towards building a greater understanding of self, increased confidence, and increasing a felt sense of happiness within one's self.
Learn More About My Approach To Counseling
Each of us have the capacity to reach our fullest potentials. However, we often find ourselves stuck in negative patterns of thinking and being, unable to see other possibilities. Therapy allows us as individuals and family units to create meaning out of the various life experiences that we have encountered and can help to open up new ways of thinking, feeling, and being. I provide individual, family, and couple's counseling in a comfortable and confidential setting. I work with those who experience issues related to trauma, anger management, self-injury, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, identity issues, and self-esteem challenges.

Family Therapy
Live, Love, Grow Together
Family life can be tough, rough, and confusing. It can also be an experience that is difficult to describe how wonderful it can be when the family unit is functioning at its best. The goal of family therapy is to get as close to this point as possible through techniques designed to increase positive communication, trust, and overall familial cohesion.
Marital/Couple's Therapy
What It Means To Be a Partner
Relationships can be difficult, especially one as complicated as an intimate relationship. Just like nearly everything in life that is important, they take hard work and maintenance to function at its best. Marital and Couple's Therapy focuses on rediscovering passion and understanding within the relationship so that each partner has the opportunity to grow as a unit, as a team.
