Mary Martineau, MSW, LCSW

I earned my master’s degree from the University of Utah, School of Social Work emphasis in Gerontology. I have worked in multiple medical and therapeutic settings with grief and trauma through hospice, clinical care management and inpatient behavioral health.  I am trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS), Natural Processing (Bi-lateral reprocessing and integration), Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction and therapeutic caregiver support for families of dementia patients. I also have 11 years of experience as a grief group facilitator with Caring Connections: A Hope and Comfort in Grief Program at the University of Utah.

The grief we experience can overwhelm us. Grief at times can be seen only as the loss of someone. I believe in a holistic approach that grief can be the loss of a job, the life that we thought we would have, divorce, ending of a friendship or relationship and much more.  Our grief is also complicated when we experience symptoms of trauma. I offer evidence-based treatments using body/mind techniques that are designed to assist your natural body processes to achieve growth and healing.

We will work together to move through the life journey with a trauma informed lens that takes in account the past, present, and future.

The techniques I use are designed to help you find your internal strength, courage, and wisdom. We will work together to achieve your healing and acceptance.

I am a native Utahn. In my free time I enjoy exploring red rock country, flat water kayaking, sculpting and reading.
