Wylie Martin, MS, LPC-S

Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor
(469) 333-6163

With 25 years of experience in mental health, I am convinced that the Lord is the ultimate healer. If you benefit from our time together, it will be because I pointed you toward God, His Son Jesus Christ, and His Word. With sincerity and humility, I offer a confidential space where you can share your burdens and lay them at the feet of Jesus, who invites you to come to Him and offers to give you rest (Matthew 11:28). As we progress in our work together, I will provide grace-centered support including regular follow-up and accountability check-ins to encourage ongoing progress and growth.

About

Jesus said to His disciples, “If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing” (John 15:5). I believe this is true for all of life, including counseling. When we seek to incorporate Christ and the principles from Scripture into each therapy session, we are far more likely to see lasting, positive results including healing and transformation by God’s grace. If you are struggling with issues related to trauma, sex or porn addiction, depression, anxiety, relationship problems, or other concerns, I would be honored to walk alongside you toward newness of life.

My Goal as a Christian Counselor

My primary goal as your counselor is for you to leave our sessions knowing you have drawn closer to God and have a growing dependence on Him. For this reason I aim to “get out of the way” so to speak and keep putting Christ at the center of our counseling sessions. My prayer is that God would use me for your benefit and growth as I continue to submit to Him and His will.

What I Offer in Christian Counseling

I offer a confidential, grace-filled space where you can be refreshed by the healing power of God and His Word. By applying Scripture appropriately to your circumstances and situation, you can find an anchor of hope to cling to in the storms of life. I will remind you that we are not called to be perfect in this life—in fact, it’s impossible. But as we depend on Christ alone and rely on the support of fellow believers in our lives, it’s possible to experience tremendous growth spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and relationally.

My Approach to Christian Counseling

Spiritual growth will sustain you even when the clinical support fails. What I mean by this is that, historically and biblically, man has survived and thrived due to God and His Word. Having said this, there are tools used in psychology that can be implemented by those who follow Christ. When applied correctly and with His Word at the center of the counsel, these tools can be an effective aid toward healing individual hurts and restoring fractured relationships. As a Christian counselor I pray for each of my clients in and outside of the session, and I pray for God to use me in their lives so He can be glorified.

Biography

Qualifications & Experience

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice and a Master of Science in Counseling, both from Texas A&M University – Commerce. With over 25 years of experience in mental health, I am listed as a CPT provider in the State of Texas for Trauma therapy. I also completed my CBT competency with the Academy of Cognitive Therapy.

My Call to Christian Counseling

I have always felt that I have been blessed, and with that comes a responsibility and duty to use what I have been given to serve other people. Growing up, our family was on food stamps and welfare at one time. My father died the day after I turned 11; I was diagnosed with diabetes at age 15. I had two organ transplants in 2012 and 2020, and I have been on dialysis twice. I am an old dad, and our son is a gift from God. Because of all of these things, I feel unbelievably blessed. I feel like I can relate to people at a much more empathetic level, and I understand firsthand God’s mercy and grace in my own life. Most importantly, I know it’s a gift, not something I ever deserve. All of these things do not qualify me to be a counselor, but God has allowed me to serve others, which is the highest calling I can think of.

More About Me/On a Personal Note

Spending time with my seven-year-old son and my wife is my biggest joy. I also enjoy beekeeping, traveling, fishing, and anything involving being outside.

Trauma

As your therapist, I will help you understand and validate the emotions surrounding your trauma experience. With a grace-centered approach, we consider examples of suffering from the Bible and see how God delivered them despite an overwhelming experience. As we learn practical tools to help you overcome the effects of trauma in your life, we will also take time to discuss God’s grace and mercy and what that looks like in our relationship with Him.

Men’s issues

Grace and mercy would be front and center in our sessions as we discuss the responsibilities that men have in their walk with God and how this affects those around them. God never tells us to figure it out on our own. We have the Holy Spirit and His Word to guide us. I view men’s counseling as an “iron sharpening iron” opportunity.

Individual Counseling

The irony of this label is that there is much more to individual counseling than one person. First, God keeps His promises and you are not alone. As your counselor, this is one truth I want to reinforce. Secondly, I want to help you build supports outside of our counseling, including your walk with God and the regular opportunity to connect with a larger body of believers.

Sex and Porn Addiction

Sex and porn addiction is the most underreported and most damaging thing to our souls, as we sin against ourselves and God. With a non-judgmental and loving approach, I offer grace-centered support, accountability, and practical strategies to help you rely on God for the strength to overcome your addiction.

Online Counseling

If distance is an issue, I also offer online counseling when needed. When providing online therapy, I like to make sure the time we have dedicated includes follow-up during the week using a secure means of check-in and support. I recommend faith-based apps and other approved digital resources as a support as well.
