Aldemar Martinez

Hello!

My name is Aldemar. I have 30 years of experience in the field of mental health, in various capacities. I have a degree in Psychology from Sonoma State University and a Master's degree from Sacramento State University. I specialize in trauma work, Anxiety, Couples therapy, and substance use issues.

I am glad you are here. I commend you for having taken the difficult step to ask for support! I do know that it can feel overwhelming to start therapy, yet here you are; congratulations!

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, or struggling with anxiety, depression, or past trauma—you’re not alone. Therapy can be a powerful space to reconnect with yourself, gain clarity, and begin creating meaningful change. I work with adults and couples, with a strong focus on trauma, anxiety, depression, and the lasting impact of childhood experiences. Many of my clients come to me feeling emotionally exhausted, disconnected in relationships, or unsure how to move forward. Together, we work to help you regain a sense of control, build emotional awareness, and develop healthier ways of copi

My approach is insight-oriented, culturally sensitive, and practical. I integrate evidence-based modalities including CBT, DBT, EMDR, ACT, Internal Family Systems (IFS), psychodynamic therapy, and trauma-informed care. I like to tailor therapy to your unique needs—whether you're looking to process trauma, regulate emotions, or better understand yourself.

Clients often describe working with me as validating, motivating, and energizing. My goal is not only to support you through challenges, but to help you build emotional intelligence, strengthen your relationships, and step into a more empowered version of yourself. Therapy is for everyone. Come join me and experience the power of self-love.
