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.

Sara Fraser
Psychologist, PhD
I have been a therapist for many years and in many settings. In describing my practice to prospective clients, I like them to know that we work in three intersecting and overlapping domains-present, past and process. In the present, we focus on how you are able to care for yourself and for others, cultivate relationships with self and other in ways that are enriching and not depleting. Using the past, we can come to understand how you show up in relationships, as informed by patterns laid out in your family of origin but in the hopes that you can come to understand and then do differently if you want, rather than acting from a place of default and habit. And finally, we can use process therapies such as EMDR and Deep Brain Reorienting, to help you truly process and move past your past experiences and help you to shed the weight of past trauma. I use a pragmatic and interactive style to collaborate with clients to assist them in choosing the therapeutic path that fits best for them. Therapy is about healing and I value using trusted and effective approaches to help you reach your goals in therapy in a timely way that allows you to move on from our relationship into living your life fully and completely. I offer a free, 30-minute initial consult call so we can connect and see how we might be a good fit. Email me to schedule that today!
