“If I can help one personʼs life improve and get positive results, that
is all
the reward I need.”
Martha Bridge has over 35 years of experience in the social service field. She
is a
licensed professional counselor – supervisor and a Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist. During the first 20
years of her career, Ms. Bridge was responsible for the start-up of 3 residential treatment centers for abused
and neglected children in the state conservatorship. She eventually ran and/or supervised these centers. In
addition, she worked in the adoption field as Vice President of Domestic Adoptions for The Gladney Center.
These last 15 years, she has worked primarily in the substance abuse field where she helped start up a
