Walter PAT Martin, MC, LMFT, Chief Operations Officer, F.A.A.M.F.T.

Quote: The choices in my life brought me to where I am now a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist, Addiction Specialist, husband, father, workshop trainer, author and Divemaster. My passion to work with veterans lead me towards extensive EMDR trauma training and EMDR addiction training known as the DeTUR protocol by Dr. AJ Popky. The inventor of DeTUR EMDR protocol, Dr. AJ Popky invited me to assist him with training other clinicians and provided me consultation hours toward certification as a Certified EMDRIA Therapist. Over the last 16 years life had brought many disasters and I volunteered as a crisis counselor during last two California Firestorms in 2004, 2007 and 2005 Katrina Disaster in partnership with County Crisis Team and Red Cross. Currently, I volunteer with Vista’s Community Emergency Response Team CERT since 2011. While working with couples at Psycare in 2015 I was inspired to write my first book “Heart and Soul toward Intimacy: A couples workbook” as I noticed that there was nothing simple for couples to follow while struggling with communicating with each other.

What I do is my passion, it is not a job, as I see many people suffering from anxiety, addiction, depression and interpersonal struggles, my passion leads me to try new techniques such as Neuro-Feedback and CES treatment to assist in a holistic approach to health. I am honored to be a guide toward finding balance and assisting as a guide in healing with my patient or patients.”
