About Dr. Martinez, Ph.D., LMFT
Healing Begins With Feeling Seen, Heard, and Supported
Through adversity, strength can grow. Reaching out for therapy, processing painful experiences, and choosing healing are powerful acts of courage. You do not have to navigate life’s challenges alone.
I specialize in helping individuals struggling with trauma, grief and loss, anxiety, and depression, with a strong focus on supporting Latinos and other minority communities through culturally sensitive care. Using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT).
I am a proud first-generation Latina with over 12 years of experience serving the Los Angeles County community. I hold a Ph.D. in Counseling and Psychological Services with a concentration in trauma and crisis counseling, a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology, and an Enlaces Certificate focused on counseling the Latino population. I have published research focused on helping survivors of abuse develop healthier relationship patterns, strengthen self-esteem, and heal from trauma. I am also licensed by the California Board of Behavioral Sciences.
My goal is to provide a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel comfortable being yourself. Together, we will build on your strengths, develop healthy coping tools, and work toward meaningful growth and healing.
You deserve support. You deserve healing. And you deserve a space where your story matters.
