Cynthia Martinez

My communication style

My communication style is warm, empathetic, and validating. I provide thoughtful feedback, ask questions that encourage deeper reflection, and gently challenge unhelpful patterns, while honoring your pace and readiness for change.

My journey to mental healthcare

I am a proud first-generation Latina with over 12 years of experience serving the Los Angeles County community. I hold a Ph.D. in Counseling and Psychological Services with a concentration in trauma and crisis counseling, a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology, and an Enlaces Certificate focused on counseling the Latino population.

My goals for you

I help clients reach their goals by creating a collaborative plan that is tailored to their unique needs, values, and priorities. I provide a supportive space to explore your thoughts, emotions, and patterns while helping you develop practical skills you can apply in your daily life.

Our first session

We will talk about what brought you to therapy and what you hope to gain from the experience. We'll talk about what's been going on in your life, any challenges you're currently facing, and the strengths and supports you already have. We'll develop a collaborative action plan for therapy, including approaches we'd utilize and treatment goals.
