Traci Martin, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Traci!

I'm passionate about helping you get through life's obstacles and onto your journey of healing. I believe each person has the inner strength to excel beyond life's difficulties.

My focus

I work with individuals, couples, families, and groups facing ADHD, addictions, anger, anxiety, depression, domestic violence, grief, infidelity, loneliness, low self-esteem, parenting issues, stress, spiritual development, substance abuse, teen issues, and work-related concerns. Safety, voice, choice, and trust are central to our work together.

My approach

My approach is client-centered, where I follow your lead with empathy and understanding. I authentically build trust and safety in our relationship, offering unconditional positive regard and accepting you without judgment. I use Cognitive Behavioral, Solution-Focused, and Narrative Therapy to help you excel beyond challenges.

My communication style

My style is warm, open, supportive, and non-judgmental. I believe you are the expert of your own life and destiny. Clients describe our work as a ray of hope, filled with insight, encouragement, inspiration, and empowerment.

My journey to mental healthcare

My career is rooted in working with children, families, and communities, where I saw a great need for change and growth. I began to see myself helping people reach their full potential and move beyond life's obstacles. My work is driven by passion and a personal mission of helping people find hope for today and strength for tomorrow.

My goals for you

I help you identify what you want to accomplish and explore accessible options. Once the goal is established, we'll break it down into small, manageable, measurable steps.

Our first session

You can expect an introduction and consent process covering confidentiality, risks and benefits of therapy, treatment modalities, and expectations. Then we'll focus on what brought you to therapy, your expectations and concerns, and motivation for change. If time allows, I'll do a few short assessments to get the therapeutic process moving forward.
