Susan Martinez

Have mood swings, anxiety, or past trauma ever kept you from living the life you envision? I specialize in helping adults, & couples navigate these challenges with compassion, empathy, & expertise. Maybe you haven't felt seen or heard for years. Perhaps you struggle with communication in your relationsips. Healing begins the moment you're seen & heard. With over 15 years of experience in treating stress, anxiety & mood disorders, and trauma, I create a safe, collaborative space, where you will feel seen & heard & give you tools to move from feeling stuck and frozen, to healing & thriving. Together, we’ll make sense of what hurts and grow from it.

In addition to offering traditional evidence-based therapies, I provide the only Canine Assisted Therapy (CAT) program in the area. My specially trained therapy/ facility dog brings comfort, grounding, & emotional support to sessions, helping clients open up & connect on a deeper and more comfortable level. CAT therapy is beneficial for reducing stress, enhancing self- esteem & emotional regulation. Clients look forward to coming in and having not only my unconditional positive regard and support, but that of my therapy dog as well.

For those seeking a holistic approach to mental health, I integrate therapies like art therapy, music, and yoga therapy into treatment. Whether you're exploring creative outlets for self-expression or utilizing yoga and mindfulness to calm the mind, these options allow us to address the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. In working with me, clients report gaining valuable insights, skills, and tools that help them better navigate their lives.

Let me support you in taking that first step. Please CALL me to set up a free 15 minute consultation at (908) 516-3285. I am often free during time slots not indicated on my Headway page and am not able to access headway throughout the day from my office. Please keep in mind, if you set up a consultation, times are approximate depending upon when I finish with the client before you. If you do not hear from me the hour/ time you have chosen, I will call you at my earliest convenience closest to the time you have chosen. Thank you for your understanding.
