Christina Martinez

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 20 years of experience supporting individuals through life’s challenges. I earned my Master of Social Work degree and specialize in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. As a Latina therapist, I provide culturally responsive care and understand how family, identity, and cultural experiences can influence emotional well-being. My goal is to create a compassionate, supportive space where clients feel understood and empowered to make meaningful changes.

My approach to therapy is compassionate, collaborative, and culturally responsive. I draw from CBT, psychodynamic therapy, ACT, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques, tailoring treatment to each client’s unique needs and goals. I help clients understand how past experiences, relationships, culture, and current stressors influence their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Above all, I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, gain insight, and develop practical tools for meaningful change.

During our first session, you can expect a supportive, and nonjudgmental space to share what brought you to therapy. We will discuss your current concerns, relevant background, strengths, and goals for treatment while beginning to get to know one another. I understand that opening up can feel difficult, so you are encouraged to move at a pace that feels comfortable. Together, we will identify initial areas of focus and determine how therapy can best support their needs.
