Great to meet you!

Welcome to Family Forward Therapy, a Texas-based group practice offering virtual therapy for children, teens, adults, couples, and families. Our team includes therapists with diverse backgrounds, experiences, and areas of focus so we can help connect you with someone who fits your individual needs.

I’m Roberto Martinez, therapist and founder of Family Forward Therapy. I’ve built a team of clinicians with different backgrounds, specialties, and experiences so that clients have more options when looking for the right therapist.

We work with concerns including anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, relationship and family challenges, parenting stress, grief, life transitions, and more. Our clinicians also bring experience working with populations and concerns that can sometimes be harder to find specialized support for.

When you schedule through this profile, you are connecting with Family Forward Therapy rather than only one individual therapist. After you book, we may contact you briefly to learn what type of therapy you’re seeking and what you would like help with. Based on your needs, preferences, availability, and insurance, your appointment may be reassigned to another therapist within our practice who may be a better fit.

Our goal is simple: help you get connected with the right therapist without having to spend weeks searching.

My approach to therapy

At Family Forward Therapy, we believe therapy should be personalized to the person—not the other way around. Our clinicians use a variety of therapeutic approaches and bring different professional and lived experiences to their work.

Whether you're looking for individual, couples, family, or child and adolescent therapy, we'll work to connect you with a clinician whose experience and approach align with what you're looking for.

We believe finding a therapist should feel accessible and straightforward. With multiple clinicians and flexible scheduling options, our practice is designed to help clients begin therapy as quickly as possible.

What you can expect from me

After scheduling, Family Forward Therapy may reach out to ask a few brief questions about what brings you to therapy and what you're hoping to work on. This helps us determine whether the therapist you initially selected is the best match or whether another clinician on our team may better meet your needs.

For Texas clients, we may match you with another Family Forward Therapy clinician based on your needs, preferences, insurance coverage, specialty, and availability.

For clients located outside of Texas, your appointment will remain with Roberto Martinez, based on the states in which he is licensed to provide services.

If we recommend a different therapist, we'll help coordinate the transition so you don't have to start your search over.
