You're carrying a lot. You don't have to carry it alone.

Life doesn't come with a manual, and sometimes the challenges we face can feel bigger than our ability to handle them. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, grief, trauma, addiction, relationship struggles, or simply feeling stuck, therapy can be a place where you finally exhale and focus on you.

I believe healing happens through connection, honesty, and a little bit of courage. My goal is to create a space where you can show up exactly as you are—without judgment, pressure, or the need to have everything figured out.

For over a decade, I've worked with people from all walks of life in hospitals, recovery programs, community agencies, and counseling settings. I've helped individuals navigate some of life's toughest moments, including trauma, substance use recovery, mental health challenges, family stress, and major life transitions. Through it all, I've learned that people are often stronger and more resilient than they realize.

My style is down-to-earth, compassionate, and collaborative. I use approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and trauma-informed care, but more importantly, I focus on getting to know you—your story, your strengths, and what matters most to you.

I don't believe therapy is about "fixing" people. It's about helping you understand yourself better, build healthier patterns, and move toward the life you want to live.

When I'm working with clients, you'll find someone who is genuine, supportive, and not afraid to laugh when laughter is needed. Therapy can be hard work, but it doesn't have to feel cold or intimidating.

If you're ready to take the next step—or even just curious about what therapy might look like for you—I'd love to connect.

I am highly trained and deeply committed to helping teens and families thrive. I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling, advanced training in Christian counseling, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with certifications in school counseling, trauma-informed care, youth mental health, and human resources. I am also completing my Doctorate in Educational Leadership, where my research focuses on mental health needs and counselor workload.

My education and experience allow me to blend clinical expertise with a strong understanding of how families, schools, and communities shape well-being.

I love working with teens because adolescence is a powerful and challenging season. I have supported young people through anxiety, grief, trauma, identity concerns, academic stress, and family conflict, and I am passionate about creating a space where they feel seen, supported, and understood. I also work closely with families, helping them improve communication, strengthen relationships, and build healthier patterns together.

My practice is guided by faith, compassion, and professionalism. I offer biblically based counseling for clients who desire it, while always maintaining a safe, respectful, and evidence-based approach. Above all, I am a counselor who listens. I honor your experiences, respect your values, and work with you at a pace that feels right as we move toward healing and growth.

I’m Derrick Martinez, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker passionate about helping men, teen boys, and couples build stronger connections, confidence, and clarity in their lives. I know how difficult it can feel to carry the weight of expectations, whether it’s navigating identity, balancing relationships, or facing challenges with communication and intimacy. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can be yourself and explore what matters most.

I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Social Work from the University of Texas at Austin and my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Michigan – Ann Arbor, where I specialized in integrated mental health and substance use. Over the past seven years, I’ve worked in schools, universities, community mental health agencies, and federally qualified health centers, supporting adolescents, young adults, and adults from diverse backgrounds.

I specialize in helping men and teen boys develop emotional insight, self-esteem, and purpose, and I work closely with couples to strengthen intimacy, improve communication, and rebuild trust. Currently, I am advancing my training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy to deepen my work with relationships.
