Jessica Martinez

Hello! My name is Jessica Martinez and I have a Master's Degree in Clinical Mental Health with a Bachelors in Psychology and a minor in Criminal Justice from The University of Texas at San Antonio. I have been providing therapy for 4 years with survivors of trauma and abuse. I specialize in working with trauma and with clients of all backgrounds, from youth to adults. I utilize and have trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Trauma-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI).

My approach to therapy is to meet my clients where they are and take into consideration every aspect of their lives. I believe that healing and progress comes from not only mental health, but understanding how physical health, occupational concerns, and relationships impact your life. I utilize humor, honesty, and culturally informed practices to help you achieve your goals. I believe that no topic is "off limits" and encourage all to be the best and most sincere version of themselves.

In a first session with me, a client can expect a thorough assessment of what is the root of their struggles and a collaboration on what goals they would like to achieve during therapy. A first session of therapy can be scary and hard, but through difficulty we can find hope and positive change.
