Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
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.

Dr. Anna Smith
Psychologist, PsyD, MEd, MA
I'm Dr. Anna Smith (she/her), a Licensed Psychologist and Certified Sex Therapist. I offer online sex therapy, couples therapy, & relationship counseling across the US in 40+ states — for people who want deeper intimacy, more honest communication, & relationships that feel good.
What makes my practice different is that it’s built entirely around deep relational and sexual intimacy—nothing else. With over a decade focused exclusively on couples and sex therapy, AASECT certification, and advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy and trauma-informed care, I’m not a generalist who happens to see couples; this is the work I love.
Clients tell me they finally feel seen, supported, and gently challenged in the exact ways they need. If you care deeply about your relationship (or your relationship with yourself) but feel stuck, exhausted by the same patterns, or unsure how to talk about sex without shame, I’d be honored to help. You deserve a therapist who specializes in exactly what you’re struggling with—and who can help you create the safety, closeness, and pleasure you’ve been longing for. Let’s talk.

Carter Doyle
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, PMHNP-BC, EMT-P
I work with adults who feel worn down by trauma, spiritual or religious harm, and identity-related stress. Many clients arrive feeling “functional” but internally stuck in fear, shutdown, shame, or exhaustion. My office is a place to bring the real story without needing to minimize it.
I’m a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who blends psychotherapy with careful, collaborative medication support when useful. Sessions often include parts work informed by Internal Family Systems (IFS) and EMDR principles, with practical skills from ACT to help you move toward values, not just symptom control. I welcome LGBTQ+ clients and people recovering from SOGICE experiences with special care and respect. We move at your pace and build change meant to last.

Dyani Saxby
Psychologist, Ph.D., ABPP, DBSM
My practice is different because I pay equal attention to the mind and body. I pursued board certifications in clinical health psychology and behavioral sleep medicine, which required me to undergo thousands of hours of training and examination beyond my Ph.D. to discover intricate connections between the mind and body. I try to listen more than I talk and I am also an active therapist--- I share when I feel I have something of value to add. My primary therapeutic modality is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Mindfulness-Based Therapy, which helps clients explore and get in-tuned with their own personal values and make changes from within that allow them to live in a way that aligns with those values. I also have extensive experience in helping clients with complex sleep disorders and offer Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) and beyond. For clients who have had traumatic or unpleasant experiences that continue to resurface, I offer Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR). My top specialties include working with clients experiencing chronic pain, medical problems, sleep issues, and life / work-related stressors.

Allay Wellness Center
Psychologist, MS, LLP
At Allay Wellness Center, we specialize in helping children, teens, and adults overcome anxiety and OCD so they can move toward a fuller, more meaningful life. Our practice focuses on Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold-standard, evidence-based treatment for OCD and anxiety disorders.
We know how overwhelming anxiety and intrusive thoughts can feel—not just for the person experiencing them, but for the whole family. That’s why our approach is compassionate, structured, and tailored to each individual. We help clients understand how anxiety works in the brain, identify the patterns that keep it going, and gradually face fears in a safe and supportive way so confidence and resilience can grow.
Many people come to us after struggling for years without clear answers. Our clinicians have specialized training in OCD and anxiety treatment and are passionate about providing care that is both effective and approachable. We offer a focused treatment program designed to create meaningful progress while also collaborating with other therapists and providers when ongoing support is helpful.
Whether you are seeking help for yourself or your child, our goal is to provide a place where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to take steps toward lasting change.
