Joanna Martinez

My communication style

My communication style is calm, positive, and empathetic. I provide a warm and non-judgmental space for growth and exploration. I want to ease you through the many emotions that may arise, as uncomfortable as they may feel, and encourage self-discovery that is validated.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always gravitated toward providing support and empathy to others. I pride myself on creating a welcoming, judgment-free space. My passion for therapy has grown while working with children, families, and individuals dealing with severe mental illness, substance abuse, generational traumas, and homelessness.

My goals for you

Healing is a vulnerable and often non-linear process. My goal is to meet you where you are and continuously work together on establishing attainable goals. I want you to feel proud of the subtle yet significant changes that come when dedicating time to your own growth.

Our first session

I would like the first session to focus on building a connection and understanding who you are and the direction you want therapy to go. I will ask questions and seek clarification to better understand your needs and goals. I hope to provide a space where you feel comfortable sharing your vulnerabilities, fears, and hopes.
