Great to meet you!

Hello! I’m Elizabeth Martinez, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 12 years of experience helping individuals manage life’s challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship difficulties. I use evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help clients create lasting, meaningful change. I’m passionate about providing a supportive, non-judgmental space where you can feel heard and empowered to grow. If you’re ready to start your journey toward mental wellness, I’d be honored to help.

My approach to therapy

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and evidence-based. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness to help clients understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I also integrate trauma-informed and strengths-based perspectives to ensure clients feel safe, empowered, and respected throughout the process. I see therapy as a partnership—my role is to guide, support, and help clients build practical tools for lasting change.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, clients can expect a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where we focus on understanding what brings them to therapy and what they hope to gain. We’ll explore their current challenges, goals, and strengths while setting a foundation for our work together. My goal is for clients to leave the session feeling heard, supported, and clearer about their next steps in their healing journey.
