Growth-Focused Psychotherapy
As a licensed Clinical Psychologist, Martha Ramos Duffer, Psy.D. works with clients to access their strengths in the service of their longings and dreams. As we move through our lives we often receive messages from people and the world around us that drown out the truth of the beauty and brilliance of who we are. The wounds we experience along the way can create barriers to the vital vulnerability and authenticity needed to build lives and relationships in which we can flourish. Blending psychodynamic, feminist, relational-cultural, existential, cognitive, and attachment approaches with neuroscience and interpersonal neurobiology, Dr. Ramos Duffer supports clients in growing into the fullness of their self-expression; learning to heal and nourish their relationships with themselves, others and life; and, aligning their daily choices with their deepest aspirations.
Psychotherapy fees are $200 per session.
Quantum Possibilities is deeply committed to health and wellness for all people and believe that services should be available to all regardless of economic status. Therefore, to the extent possible we provide sliding scale fees and pro-bono services. If your situation requires consideration of a fee adjustment do not hesitate to ask.
Dr. Ramos Duffer is a Blue Cross Blue Shield provider and Quantum Possibilities can file claims for you if this is your insurance carrier. For all other insurance companies, clients are provided with an invoice with all the necessary information to file their own insurance claims for out-of-network services when requested.
INDIVIDUAL THERAPY
In my private practice I focus on working with individuals from adolescence through late adulthood to identify and connect with what matters most to them so that they can thrive in aware, meaningful, and generative lives characterized by joy, abundance, love and possibility. Life breaks our hearts in many ways and this often leads to overwhelming feelings and ruptured relationships with ourselves, with others, with the earth, and often with life itself. Therapy can be a powerfully healing space of relationship to heal these ruptures and create lives that we love. I am a native speaker in Spanish and English and offer therapy in both of these languages. Issues that bring many of my clients to therapy include: Life Transitions, Depression, Anxiety, Relationships, Meaning/Purpose, Spirituality, Grief and Loss, Trauma, Oppressions, and Health Practices.
RELATIONSHIP THERAPY
Often people who began in a place of love, passion, and delight with each other find themselves lost in an abyss of resentment, pain, and disillusionment. Informed by the work of John Gottman, Stan Tatkin, Sue Johnson, and Marion Solomon, I work with straight and queer people to explore attachment patterns and underlying fears to create psychological safety and secure attachment. We work together for partners to learn the research-based keys and practices of successful intimate relationships while learning to avoid responses and behaviors found to be corrosive and damaging to connection. With these skills and understandings, people in intimate relationships can be equipped to create the space for passion to re-emerge and love and joy to flourish.
