Dr. Krystle Martin

CLINIC DIRECTOR AND PSYCHOLOGIST

I have expertise in helping people who have experienced trauma, emotion dysregulation, or are suicidal. Many of my clients work within a first responder occupation such as police officers, firefighters, paramedics, correctional officers, and communicators/dispatchers. I am also very interested in sleep issues and trained to provide CBT for Insomnia (CBTi).

I earned my PhD at the University of Toronto and am licensed with the College of Psychologists of Ontario as a Clinical and Forensic Psychologist. I am a member of the Ontario Psychological Association (OPA) and an Adjunct Professor at Ontario Tech University and York University where I supervise graduate students and teach courses.

With regard to my consulting work, I currently partner with several first responder organizations to support their mental health initiatives, as well as provide training and education, including Durham Regional Police Services, Scugog Fire, and the Greater Toronto Airport Authority Fire and Emergency Services. I also provide clinical consultation to staff members who provide trauma therapy at EHN Guardians Gateway - an inpatient facility providing trauma therapy exclusively to first responders and active/retired military members.

On a personal level, I am an avid reader, love to travel and explore new places, and find it therapeutic to do hot yoga. I also really like chocolate, coffee, heated seats, and podcasts. Oh, and crossword puzzles, peanut butter, and dancing.
