Danielle Martinez, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Danielle!

I am dedicated to helping promote and improve emotional wellness. I am here to support and walk alongside you as you work to make changes to your life, and I will help guide your personal growth as we collaborate to develop your personal goals.

My focus

I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults, either in individual, couple, or family sessions. I work with clients impacted by depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship issues, healthy communication, stress management, grief, loss, and trauma. Health for your mind is important, and I want to help you find balance.

My approach

I draw from several different traditional therapeutic modalities and will work with you to determine the most useful interventions to use to support your growth. I have significant experience with CBT, Interpersonal therapy, Humanistic therapy, Family systems, and Motivational Interviewing. I will adapt my treatment approach to each client.

My communication style

Therapy can be a beautiful experience as well as uncomfortable at times. I have a direct, supportive, and therapeutic communication style. My hope is that we will create a meaningful alliance that will help you feel cared for and comfortable to share with me.

My journey to mental healthcare

My love for therapy started at a very young age when my Grandpa shared with me that everyone needs someone they can share with who can be neutral and supportive. I’ve experienced many beautiful and challenging times in my life, and during each of those moments, I have had someone with whom I can share and process.

My goals for you

Goal setting is crucial to reaching your therapeutic goals. I strive to create an environment that will help you create the goals you want to see in your life and support you with reaching those goals.

Our first session

During our first session, I hope to get to know each other enough so you feel safe sharing your needs and goals. You are welcome to share as little or as much as you feel comfortable and ready for, and we will create a plan together for follow-up sessions.
