Ruben Martinez

Hi there, I'm Ruben!

I am a bilingual and bicultural Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing out of the Los Angeles area. For more than a decade, I have supported clients and families across diverse communities. I also serve as a Clinical Trainer in a Los Angeles university setting, where I provide education on trauma, resilience, and well-being.

My focus

Therapy should feel safe, respectful, and affirming. I provide LGBTQIA+ affirmative care, and I work with adolescents and adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, family conflict, parenting challenges, and major life transitions. I also work well with athletes who are navigating pressure, identity shifts, and performance-related stress.

My approach

You are the expert in your own life, and therapy is always client-centered and collaborative. I help clients regulate emotions, strengthen coping, and build resilience while navigating life’s challenges. My approach is trauma-informed and grounded by how the brain and nervous system respond to stress, to support both well-being and performance.
