David Habib Martin is a unique counselor who offers traditional services combined with the ability to show you ways to solve problems through your astrological chart! He says he's not a marriage counselor and he's never met my partner, yet he can look at his chart and explain issues I'm having in the relationship, as well as guide me to see solutions. Plus he's a teacher who's helping me in my own astrological studies. I've found this to be a brilliant approach. His insights are fascinating and I come away from every session feeling wiser and empowered.
David is to men’s issues what Michael Jordan is to basketball. He truly understands the struggles men experience in 2025 but often keep to themselves. The time I’ve invested with David has been immensely valuable to me as a therapist, father, husband and friend. David says things that resonate with me on a deep level. Anyone who can book an appointment with David is fortunate and should do it like yesterday!
David is a brilliant and talented therapist (and supervisor) and I will continue to refer friends and clients to him for as long as he decides to practice. He has been a rich source of insight, guidance and emotional support to me over the years and he has helped me grow in ways I did not know I was capable of. I feel very fortunate to have found David and I cannot recommend him highly enough!
