Martina Ricards Marks, Big Sky Wellness
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LMSW, RYT200, Reiki Practitioner Level I & II
Hi there! I'm Martina, a dedicated, heart-led practitioner on a mission to guide you toward holistic well-being. I know what it feels like to be trapped inside harmful thoughts and behaviors - wishing for change, but confused on where to start. My professional practice was born out of a personal revolution to find healing, truth, and authenticity. I’m excited to share the education and real-life experiences that helped me return home to myself.
Since 2016, I’ve served as a clinician, supervisor, and director. After becoming a mother to a tenacious little girl in 2022, I leaned more into my power than ever. My daughter taught me to move with intention, feel appreciation for the littlest of things, and unapologetically follow my passions. Big Sky Wellness was born from her influence.
It is my promise to embrace the same principles of self-care and continual growth that I advocate for in my practice. Outside of Big Sky, you'll find me in the wild, with dirt on my feet and sun on my skin. I come alive sleeping under the stars, wading in waterfalls, and on the back of a Harley. I’ll lose myself in yummy food and sunsets.
If you're ready to embark on a journey toward holistic well-being, where empathy, curiosity, and self-discovery are the guiding forces, I invite you to reach out. Together, we'll create a therapeutic space that honors your individuality and supports your transformative growth.

Dharele Lewis
Therapist, LLMSW, EMDR-Trained
I help adults who are carrying quiet pressure like anxiety, overwhelm, identity shifts, grief, or emotional exhaustion and need a space that feels real, safe, and collaborative. My style is warm, direct, and culturally attuned. I believe therapy works best when you don’t have to shrink yourself or explain away your lived experiences.
In our work, we explore what’s happening beneath the surface, strengthen what’s already resilient in you, and build practical tools that support long-term change. I blend cognitive, somatic, and narrative approaches to help you understand your patterns and reconnect with parts of yourself you’ve had to put on pause to survive.
If you’re looking for a therapist who shows up with honesty, respect, and curiosity and who treats you like a whole person, not a diagnosis then I’d be honored to support your process.

Ann Abbey
Limited License Psychologist, MA, LLP, RYT
Do you ever lie awake replaying conversations, wondering if you said the wrong thing, or wishing you could take care of everyone without feeling so depleted? Maybe you move through your days on autopilot—doing everything you’re “supposed” to do—yet still feeling a quiet ache inside. You want to slow down, feel more present, and experience real moments of connection and joy. But no matter how hard you try, something still feels off. You just want to know that you’re going to be okay.
Together, we’ll gently explore what’s keeping you up at night and what patterns aren’t serving you anymore. You’ll have a warm, grounded space to bring your worries, your exhaustion, your questions, and the parts of yourself you’ve kept hidden. I’ll meet you there—with care, honesty, and the kind of support that lets you show up exactly as you are, without performing or pleasing.
In our work, you’ll begin to reconnect with your inner steadiness, soften the fear and self-doubt that keep you stuck, strengthen the relationships that matter, and make room for more ease, clarity, and joy.
Sessions are available by video or phone, making it simple to get the support you need. If this resonates, I’d love to talk. You can reach out through my website or give me a call; I look forward to connecting.
