Meet The Team

Terbett Martin | MS, LMFT, LCADC
Director of Family ServicesWith over 25 years of clinical experience, Terbett is an accomplished individual, group, and family therapist with both a wealth of expertise ranging from interpersonal conflict to generational dynamics, and an insatiable curiosity as a forever student of human connection. Earning her Bachelor of Science in Psychology from North Carolina Central University and her Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy from Seton Hall University, she developed a uniquely research-informed yet soulful therapeutic approach grounded in attachment theory, emotionally-focused therapy, and family systems work—a combination that engages members and their families in a collaborative process by which they first recognize, then address the behavioral and relational patterns shaping their interactions.
Believing change becomes possible when people are offered a grounded, emotionally safe environment to take vulnerable risks, Terbett is passionate about creating space for honest self-reflection, open communication, and experiential exercises that promote meaningful, lasting transformation. A practical focus on the how—turning insights into action—guides clients through identifying unmet attachment needs toward engaging with others from a place of responsiveness rather than reactivity. Regarding embodied awareness as central to any form of growth, her approach encourages honing attentive presence, intentionally slowing down, and leading with empathy to foster greater relational attunement.
Also a Licensed Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor, Terbett is especially dedicated to serving those affected by addiction. She understands addiction as a profound disconnector—one that corrodes emotional intimacy, trust and secure relationships, often leading to isolation and suffering. She views recovery not as abstaining from substance use but rediscovering connection, something she enables by empowering clients to reconnect with themselves, with their families, and with the parts of life that are beautiful and joyful.The Living Room’s incomparable way of making members feel like family naturally aligns with Terbett’s early professional roots in community-based behavioral health, along with her spirit of authenticity, openness and warmth. Captivated by the mysteriously powerful magic of synchronicities building as life continuously unfolds, she has both witnessed and experienced firsthand awareness leading to further awareness through moments of interconnected meaning, realization, and discovery. A wholehearted conviction that pain demands to be heard speaks to what she holds as the ultimate destination of any healing journey: not simply surviving but thriving.
