Elliot Martin

I am a licensed, certified social worker in the state of Massachusetts practicing in Boston (on occupied, unceded Massachusett land). I am a queer, transgender, fat-positive, liberation-oriented therapist. I strive to practice from an anti-oppressive, non-pathologizing perspective with the understanding that the mental health field is steeped in colonialism and white supremacy. My specialty and interest lies in supporting people in healing from various traumas across the life course (single events and complex trauma). I firmly value the therapeutic relationship and believe a strong one is key to being able to do meaningful work. My goal as a therapist is to create an environment in which my clients feel seen and supported enough to do the difficult work that therapy requires. I am passionate about providing this type of space to folks in the LGBTQ2S+ community as I know accessing care with informed providers can be quite difficult. If you think we may work well together, please don't hesitate to reach out via email. In your message, please provide a bit of information about why you are seeking therapy at this time and I will do my best to get back to you within a few days. Note: I do not accept insurance but rather utilize an income-based sliding scale. Of note: I passed the qualifying exam for independent licensure in MA and my license is currently being processed by the MA state social work board. My current license number is 224974 and can be found in concert with my legal name, Chloe Martin.
