Anielka Martinez, LPCC — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Anielka!

I strongly believe in prioritizing work, life, and balance in order to thrive as individuals and reach objectives and goals. Thank you for reaching out and initiating your mental health journey. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, and depression.

My focus

Everyone has their own journey and life experiences. I have worked with many individuals and helped them with life transitions, depression, anxiety, and heal from trauma-based events. Together, we can work to create a plan that builds on your coping skills, solution focus, empowerment, and personal growth.

My approach

I'm an active listener, focused on your narrative and experiences that guided your path. Transparency is important for our therapeutic relationship to work together and implement effective ways to overcome obstacles. I will encourage you, challenge and provide unconditional support in your mental health journey.

My communication style

I practice attentive listening, emotional validation, and regulation. I prioritize transparency, open communication, and a non-judgmental environment to promote healthy relationships.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always been driven by the thought that there is a solution or meaning for everything. I had the opportunity to work with many individuals, dealing with stress, trauma, grief and loss, anxiety, and depression. I have been witness to the resiliency and powerful outcomes based on individual willingness to grow and change.

My goals for you

I believe that therapy is collaborative, working together to identify challenges, concerns, and needs and creating a plan to achieve individual goals, objectives, and gain new insight.

Our first session

In our first session, we get to know each other, where I will listen to your narrative of life experiences and concerns. You are welcome to share your comfort level and what topics are important to you. We will work together to establish trust, as I will be very transparent, open, warm, and caring for your mental health needs.
