Laterriea Martin

Therapist

Virtual • Illinois


I believe that everyone deserves to feel heard, understood, and supported, especially during life's most challenging moments. My passion for helping others is rooted in both my professional experience and my commitment to creating safe, judgment-free spaces where people can be themselves. Much of my career has been spent alongside individuals, families, and community systems in crisis, collaborating with law enforcement, emergency responders, and advocacy programs when things were at their hardest. That work taught me to stay calm, compassionate, and solution-focused under real pressure. Today I work with clients navigating trauma and PTSD, depression, bipolar disorder and the mood swings that come with it, borderline personality, relationship and family stress, maternal mental health after pregnancy, and end of life concerns. I have a particular passion for helping children and the parents raising them, supporting them where they are now in a way that stays with them wherever they go next.

Kirsten Enoch

Therapist

Virtual • Chicago, IL


I believe healing happens in the context of safe, attuned relationships. Whether I’m working with a child through play, supporting parents, or helping adults understand their relational patterns, my work is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and collaboration.

I have extensive experience working with children and families, particularly around attachment-related concerns, including families formed through foster care and adoption. I also enjoy working with adults who want to better understand how early relational experiences may still influence their relationships today.

I am trained in the Adult Attachment Interview (AAI), a research-based interview that can help adults explore how early experiences shape the way they connect with others. When appropriate, I can integrate this perspective into our therapy work together.
