Part 22: Close Up Radio Welcomes Back Dr. Martha Latz of A Unique Therapy Center
Boca Raton, FL – Dr. Latz is the founder of A Unique Therapy Center. For nearly 30 years, Dr. Latz has provided an emotionally supportive environment to help individuals and their loved ones navigate challenging life transitions. Dr. Latz weaves both traditional and holistic approaches to fully address the whole person: mind, body and spirit.“So much of this work is about discovering language to express feelings,” says Dr. Latz. “In my opinion, this is the therapist’s primary job: to help you find a way to express what is inexpressible. Once you have the words, it takes shape. When it takes shape, it takes form. When it takes form, then you can create and execute a plan to move forward.”Though some clients may be skeptical of conducting therapy remotely, Dr. Latz is finding her approach lends itself perfectly to phone therapy, and it can be very effective.“Face-to-face has historically been so important to establishing the therapeutic relationship, however working remotely has become the new norm for everyone, therapists included,” says Dr. Latz. “Of course, it's going to have its limitations, so it takes a little more effort to reassure a new client. This is listening in its purest form, so I have learned to be more therapeutically alert to build the client’s confidence in me.”Dr. Latz is encouraging her clients to use this time as an opportunity to be more reflective of their life by staying present to the present moment.“The past and future can easily become entangled in our present,” says Dr. Latz. “A therapist can be very helpful in guiding us to unravel our emotions.”For more information on Dr. Martha Latz and A Unique Therapy Center, visit www.auniquetherapycenter.com

I’m not a “pill mill” doctor instead I make certain to methodically diagnose underlying causes and I steadfastly persevere no matter what obstacles and complications may exist.”“Infectious diseases for the most part are diagnosable, treatable, readily available, and most of the time it’s a reversible illness,” says Dr. Sastry.Infectious diseases occur more profusely when our immune system does not function properly when outside bacteria can gain access into our bodies. Fortunately, our bodies possess a remarkably strong immune system that is able to propitiously protect us, provided that we are healthy individuals.“In order for people to maintain healthy immune systems they must also be mentally positive,” says Dr. Sastry. “Suffering from depression negatively impacts our physical bodies. In order to prevent diseases, it’s also absolutely vital to eat healthy, exercise daily, avoid smoking and definitely limit your alcohol consumption.”“I strongly urge everyone to have the upmost love and respect for your body and learn how to keep yourself in the best possible shape so you can have the most purposeful life,” says Dr. Sastry.
