Mark Martinez, LPC

I am a survivor of severe depression and anxiety and a highly sensitive person, both of which provide me with an ability to practice extreme empathy as well as laugh and cry with clients in therapy. I work with individuals who are ready to engage all parts of their stories (past, present and future) to move beyond their trauma, addictions, anxiety and depression in order to live lives of fullness and abundance. I have become angered by the way that OCD impacts the lives of my clients and loved ones and have sought to gain understanding and experience in treating OCD. I have completed training in ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention), as well as continuing to read any information I can find on the topic. I also have a passion for treating trauma, with training in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and IFS (Internal Family Systems Theory). I draw on my experience raising four young children and being a husband of 10+ years to help others navigate their relationships. Christianity is an essential part of my worldview and quality of care and can be a part of our work together to the extent you are comfortable including it. My work has been life-changing to clients who have healed long-standing wounds, quit pernicious addictions, preserved their marriages and found freedom from their fears. It would be an honor to work with you and to be your confidant, teacher, and guide in finding happiness and reclaiming your life.
